This is a great therapeutic game to develop a relationship with kids and teens. I will be using it in my mobile therapy job to build the therapeutic alliance. You can even go through and select certain cards to apply to your specific child's needs.

As an elementary teacher, I will use some of the questions in the packet #1 to help young students engage in conversation or formally interview an adult or senior person. I will use selected questions from the same packet to engage in questions/answers among themselves as well to gain practice before the actual interview. The ungame has many useful applications.

I have found the game to be most helpful in the office. It is being used in a clinical setting for therapeutic analysis. Patients respond well to this type of dialogue, prompting much more personal conversations in a much shorter time period.

This is a fun encounter game which I used to use when I worked as a therapist. I lost my copy and thins one replaced it to be used at a church group. The members liked it and have voted to do it again so it still holds the magic.

I am working on a masters in counseling and will use this "game" a lot in that field. It is an uncompetitive get to know you game where you can choose between "light-hearted" subjects and "more serious" subjects. Good for counselors, social workers, familes, friends, anyone.

I am finding this game to be, not only a perfect "ice breaker" activity, but a meaningful experience even playing multiple times. My students all love it. I see that the question cards provide an opportunity for kids to open up in ways they would find difficult to do without a structured format. It gives them a freedmon to express thoughts and feelings that would not otherwise emerge.

I am a school social worker. I work with k-8 children that are difficult to get engaged with each other. The Ungame is an excellent game to encourage interaction, provoke self-awareness and encourage social skills. I would recoment this game to therapist families and to children on a rainy day. I am pleased with the board quality as well.

As a school psychologist, I am always looking for products to use when working with groups of students. I have had very positive responses using The Ungame with smaller groups and would definitely recommend it to others as a non-threatening and useful tool for initiating meaningful dialogues with others. In addition, I have used just the question cards to elicit interaction in larger groups and/or as icebreakers. The range of questions is particularly appealing as I can pick and choose questions that are merely fun and interesting or, depending on the nature and composition of the group, more thoughtful and provocative. It is an excellent addition to my "tool kit".

I am a child and adolescent therapist and this is a wonderful game to get kids talking! I have kids who love to talk anyway, and this is great for them too but it is helpful in getting shy kids to open up or to aid kids in talking about difficult subjects. Aside from those positives from a therapist's point of view... it is fun!

I was first introduced to this game at a therapist's office to help my 6 year old with communicating more openly. Seeing how well my son reacted to this game, I decided to purchase it for home. It has many great questions that truly allow you to get to know the other players and encourages thinking and talking things out.

My grandchildren love the game. It gives them a chance to talk about themselves and me a chance to learn more about them in a non-threating manner(and for them to learn about me). We also like the idea of non-competion. It is just a game with no right or wrong answers. It gives them a chance to think about what they do value and offers lots of opportunity to talk about things that concern them. We have had hours of giggles and fun. A great game.

I had this game as a child, and I have great memories of it. It was a time I could speak freely and honestly with out worrying. I bought it for my 5 year old, my husband thought he would be bored with it, but all three of us play it often and it is so much fun, and the things my son (and husband) say continue to surprise me. A very good game, just as I remembered.

I am a family therapist. I enjoy using this game with families I work with. Deck #1 cards are good for ice-breakers or getting to know the family better. Deck #2 allow for deeper sharing of thoughts and feelings. This game also provides a safe venue for family members to ask each other difficult questions.

I ordered this game because a colleague of mine said that she used it to stimulate discussion between her and her Little Sister (she volunteers for Big Brothers Big Sisters). I thought it would be useful for creating a format for ad hoc discussion questions between me and my nursing home-bound mother, and it did! We did not use the game board, but we took turns answering the questions on the cards, which stimulated additional discussion. IT WAS WONDERFUL! We spent several hours of our recent three day visit using The Ungame as an effective communication tool.

It's a great game. Good for family, or for an ice breaker when you have a "mixed bag" of guests who don't know each other well. I like the fact that there are two different levels of cards, one more lighthearted and the other more serious.

If you are looking for a non competitive way to have fun with family or friends, this game is a winner. Nonthreatening questions allow participants to share answers on topics that might never come up in daily conversation. As a therapist, I use this game with a variety of clients. Great game for many settings!

I was very excited to get this game based on what I had read. My son has a nonverbal learning disability which makes his social interactions difficult so I was hoping to have some thought provoking discussions. He did like some of the questions and the jumping to different parts of the board but had a hard time understanding the objective. He is only 6, so it might be better as he matures. Overall I do like the questions and I think it will be an effective game to use with him. It just won't be one that we come back to frequently.

This game is being used in an acute psychiatric facility in an in-patient setting. Most of the patients are experiencing brain chemical imbalances, i.e., schizophrenia, major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder. The patients have been able to follow the rules for the game and to enhance their mental acuity. The game has enabled patients to focus attention and to track and process the information as they play, believing they are merely "playing a game."

I bought the Ungame for my teenager who tends to be on the quiet side and not comfortable sharing all her feelings and thoughts. I thought this would open up more opportunities to share things with each other and have fun at the same time. After playing it once so far, I would say this is a great game that gives every player a chance to share about so many different things whether it's hopes and dreams or good memories and favorite pastimes. It got us talking and laughing. As a family who has many games, I would say the only weird thing about it is the lack of any sort of competition which is ultimately a good thing for this game and its purpose.

This is a great therapy tool when working with children. Kids - even teens - enjoy playing the game and often ask if we can play it.

This is a great game. I am a counselor and have used it already with several young clients. I am very impressed with the board (user friendly and fun) and the questions on the cards. The questions are general enough to apply to all ages and backgrounds, yet encourage personal responses and self discovery/exploration. This game would be great for families or as a counseling tool. I highly recommend this product.

We played this game as a family and my seven year old daughter really enjoyed it. (My almost five year old was not overly interested with it. She wanted something more exciting and less thought-provoking.) My husband and I enjoyed it. We would consider playing it with friend or with adult family members. It seems like the best application for a game like this is a type of therapy session.

I am using this with two high-functioning ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) students and they love it! We had been using a very old version and we all like the upgrade.

Terrific Game & Icebreaker

Rating:
Our daughter was killed in an automobile incident. It's very difficult to receive visits with our grandchildren and when we do, the children are quite hesitant to put a lot of their feelings into words. We played this game and it brought the children out of their shells. Their reactions were spontaneous, unguarded and honestly - delightful. We were able to bridge a very large gap of their emotions - loyalty to their father, respect and love for our daughter who they miss terribly. I realize our situation is particularly unique, but this game can get almost any child's attention in such a way as they answer questions naturally and openly. We laughed a lot and enjoyed our game time. Highly recommended for families who are "overscheduled." Make a game night, starting with this game, and you will find lots of ways to connect with your family. We also used it at a somewhat boozy adult New Year's Eve party with old friends and it was a blast. Laughed ourselves silly, all of the adults were taking down the info on where to buy the game, etc. It's an excellent game. It breaks down social barriers, whether at a party, in a difficult family situation, or for Saturday night fun with a healthy family.
