“Wow & Wow!”
We played it with my 86 year old Mum, me (56!), my grandchild 4 (Autism & ADHD), and children 11, 13 with FASD, Autism & ADHD …. they all loved it!
Cognitive workout: We loved this game, is genuinely suitable for all functioning ages as there are good options for all abilities…. sensory challenges (you have to ‘feel’ the texture of a card), guess the odd one out, find the maze winner, work out simple problems, coordinate finger & action (this was funny as it quite tricky for adults!), shapes of lego bricks, frequency cards etc, etc
Visually Impaired / Sensory Needs: Scored very highly as is inclusive and great for visually impaired as you can close your eyes and feel the texture of some of the cards… harder than you would think for those not visually impaired & great fun!
Executive Functioning: very good for solving a problem but not out of their reach where it is easy enough to find an answer and have a sense of achievement. Positive reinforcement.
Therapy rating: A great therapeutic tool to support cognitive and executive functioning with reasoning. A lovely attachment friendly tool as lots of social interaction but can also be played with one child or adult.
Would you recommend?: “Yes I would, it’s a fun game. I like all the different cards where you have to think a bit to find an answer. Its very funny to watch my Mum feel the card where she realised this was not her superpower… but it was mine! Arthur age 12”
