Transforms screen time into bonding time
Parents and kids connect over the games the kids already love.

Easy conversation starters
There's no prep, no awkward silences, just instant prompts that spark stories and laughter.

Builds life skills through play
Teamwork, creativity, and communication sneak in naturally while having fun.

Game worlds come to life off‑screen
The games, characters and adventures kids already love become part of family adventures.

Chance to show off imagination
Kids get to invent powers, heroes, and silly scenarios that make them the star.

Feels like play, not a lecture
Prompts are goofy, creative, and fun, so kids stay engaged and excited.

How long does a session take?
Sessions can be as little as 10–15 minutes OR if the mood grabs you, go for as long as you'd like!

Do I need to know the games?
Nope! There are game definition cards that'll give you a quick brief on what each game is about.

Do my kids need to know the games?
Also nope! While some cards may need a bit of game knowledge, most use the games as colour to help parents and kids connect on each question.

What if my child resists?
Try out the Playful prompts first. They are designed to break the ice and open kids (and parents) up to deeper conversation.

Is there a guarantee?
Yes, if you find it's just not for you, email us at hello@yaketypack.com within 30 days and we'll refund you in full, no questions asked.
