What's in the Deck?

Each card pairs a game mechanic your child already knows with a real question aimed at you. Your child reads the scenario and asks. You answer. The Level-Up follow-up on every card goes one layer deeper, into the feelings, the lessons, or the detail you had almost forgotten.

Every deck includes kid-led prompt cards built around Fortnite, Mario Kart, Minecraft, Pokémon, and more, a Level-Up question on every single card, a Legendary Stories mechanic to mark your favourite answers and revisit them, and durable linen-finish cards sized to shuffle straight into the Core Deck.

Why the Flip Works

Most family tools put parents in charge. A parent asks, a kid answers. It keeps the same dynamic that makes kids go quiet in the first place.

When your child is the one holding the card, everything changes. They stop performing for you and start genuinely listening. Parents consistently say the conversations go longer than expected and surface memories they had completely forgotten. There's no prep. Shuffle, draw, answer.

Why Kids Love Being the Interviewer

Kids get to be in charge for once. They hold the card, they ask the question, and they get to find out who their parent actually is, not just the person who makes the rules. The gaming hooks make the questions feel familiar and fun, and finding out your parent had a legendary school dance fail or a childhood rival they kept rematching is genuinely exciting.

Questions

Do I need the Core Deck to use this?
Nope. The Parent Power-Up works completely on its own and also shuffles right into the Core Deck if you have it.

What kind of questions does it ask?
Questions tuned for parents: your gaming memories, your wins and embarrassing moments, your opinions on your kid's favourite games. Things your child wants to know but would never think to ask.

What age range is this for?
Works well for kids 6 and up. Conversations tend to get richer from about age 8 onward, when kids become genuinely curious about who their parents are as people.

How long does a session take?
As little as 10 minutes. Some cards open up a quick laugh, others spark a conversation that goes for an hour.

Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Email hello@yaketypack.com within 30 days and you'll get a full refund, no questions asked.

Why the Flip Works

Why the Flip Works

Most family conversation tools put parents in charge. A parent asks, a kid answers. It works, but it keeps the same power dynamic that makes kids go quiet in the first place.

The Parent Power-Up turns that around. Your child holds the card. Your child asks the question. Suddenly you're the one being curious and vulnerable, and they're the one listening. Kids who feel like they know their parents, really know them, are more likely to open up themselves.

What changes when kids ask: they stop performing for you and start genuinely listening. The conversation becomes a two-way relationship, not a check-in.
