About Yakety Pack
Why we built it
We're parents too. We love our kids, and we watched our chats lose the battle to bright screens. Instead of fighting the tech, we flipped it. We took the games our kids adore and turned them into real-life talking points anyone, gamer or not, can enjoy. Yakety Pack was founded by four childhood friends who grew up building worlds together and wanted their own kids to let them in. Read the full story.
What we make
Pause. Play. Connect. is our flagship deck: 172 quest starters built on the games kids already love, plus 20 Co-Op Create cards for inventing game ideas together. The Parent Power-Up flips the table and lets kids ask you the questions, and the full bundle adds two digital guides that help you decode your kid's gaming world. Developed with childhood education specialists and tested with 350+ families.
What we believe
Screens aren't the issue. Disconnection is.
Not anti-tech. Not shame-based. Not rigid. We're pro-connection, pro-curiosity, and pro-real life.
Co-play beats control. Sharing their world, even for 10 minutes, changes the vibe.
Small prompts, big doors. A pixel can open a door; a prompt can open a heart.
How it works
Pause. Take a breath together (yep, even mid-level).
Play. Pull a card and let the game world spark the real-world chat.
Connect. Listen, laugh, trade roles, and keep it light. No lectures. No eye-rolls. Just shared time.
Who it's for
Parents who want balance, empathy, and bonding without banning screens. If you've ever thought, "I don't want to fight the iPad, I want to understand it," you're our people. Grandparents, coaches, and gift-givers welcome too, the deck works across ages 6 and up.
Our promise
We'll never guilt you about screen time. We'll give you simple tools that fit real family life, busy schedules, messy rooms, and all. We'll keep building decks and resources that turn digital moments into human ones. And if a deck isn't a fit, you get your money back within 30 days, no questions asked.
A note from our family to yours
Yakety Pack started as a family project at our kitchen table. It's now making its way to yours. Thanks for letting us be part of your pause button. Let's keep yakking, one card, one chuckle, one "tell me about your world" at a time.
Pause. Play. Connect.
Because great conversations can happen any time you press pause together.
