See your parents in a whole new light.
A bilingual connection card game designed to spark deep conversations between you & your family.
Let’s Talk About Family
For the last few years, the most important priority in my life has been healing the broken relationship I had with my parents. I wanted to get to know my mom and dad before it was too late.
I spent hundreds of hours documenting what I did and what I learned in 30 reflections. Let’s go on this journey together.
Sometimes we are so busy growing up we forget our parents are growing old.Â
We designed a card game to connect more deeply with our immigrant parents while we still can.

What People Love About Parents Are Human
“We started with one question, ‘What is the most impactful book you ever read?’ and it led to a 1+ hour conversation.”
– Ryan Lum
“It’s the first time we had such a meaningful mom-daughter bonding experience. She finally didn’t feel the pressure to ‘parent’ me.”
– Judy Zhu
“Over the moon that this exists. We’re finally sharing stories and questions we’ve carried for years, but just didn’t know how to ask.”
– Chrislyn Choo
I wanted to get to know my parents, but I didn’t know the Chinese vocabulary to ask them meaningful questions. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, translating these 70 prompts with my parents and playing the game with them.

Use Parents Are Human To Learn Chinese
“I always tell my students on day one of class that when you speak to someone in their mother-tongue which is not yours, you are immediately saying I love you. All the more so if there are language/cultural/generational barriers within a family.”
– Spencer Baron (Chinese Teacher)
We have a gift for you! We made our entire game free digitally, so our questions & translations can be accessible to all.
