How accurate are your translations?
Instead of relying on a single translator, company, or service, we work with ~10 native speakers on average along with their loved ones to meticulously trans-create each card from English into another language.
This process takes a minimum of 6-8 months per language, with hundreds of combined hours spent to ensure that the nuances of each language are honored, that people from every relevant & major geographic location review the translations to make sure locals can understand, and every detail like the font, line breaks, and word spacing are the best possible choice.
We work with family teams so each prompt has been play-tested in a real dynamic between loved ones.
When you receive this deck, know that it is a token of love from many other families from your beloved culture.
We believe we have some of the best, most natural translations in the world. Feel free to preview any of our games in their entirety before purchasing by downloading one of our digital decks.

Customer Reviews
I’m devastated that I don’t see a polish version yet- I’m dying to get this for my mother and I.
My parents lived through a chaotic time in China’s history, but they never really talked about it until we started playing with these cards. What a wonderful thing it was to learn new things about my parents. My mother mentioned that she really appreciated that it was the first real conversation we’ve had. Hopefully, it won’t be the last. I can’t recommend these enough.
I'm so happy to come across this game. Initially, I meant to use it so we could have Grandma talk more about her history, but I found that I was also sharing my story with my kids. It was such a gratifying experience to feel heard. I also love that it's fun and the kids don't feel like I'm making them listen to our stories. Good way to get them off their devices and open up about themselves, too!
Wonderful! The transliteration was great for the hindi. The questions were both fun and sentimental. There was natural conversations happening after each person’s response. This game helps people feel seen and heard. Beautiful idea! This game will be a staple at family parties.
It was so nice to sit and talk with my mom about her experiences as a little girl. My sister and I recorded her reading the questions in Thai and answering them in English. It was quite special.

Sometimes we are so busy growing up we forget our parents are growing old.
We created a card game to get closer to our loved ones while we still can.
It opens up even the most reserved dads.
"I found out what my dad favorite food was growing up. That dude is the hardest layers to peel so the fact that I got something out of him that’s amazing."

It gets moms to share stories they've never told.
"My mom told me things she never told another soul. Maybe my parents are more open than most but they were pretty vulnerable even in their responses to the “light” questions."

Learn more about your grandparents that you ever have.
"I would say I'm pretty close with my parents, and speak their language fluently, but I loved how the cards delved deeper into their past. I learned a lot more about my grandparents than I ever have!"
