How do you play?
NO PHONES
ALLOWED!
Once the phones are under the lid it's time to take turns picking out a card from the box to reveal a simple question, then simply each take turns answering it.
There are no winners or losers here, which means no potential dramas to worry about.
💬 Discover you acually quite like your family!
You'll be getting 250 physical cards (+50 digital versons), split into five categories.
You can either choose a category or pick a random one. For example, our six-year-old Rufus loves to answer from the Humor category, so he'll choose one from that category, while the rest of the family will pick a random card from the deck.
How it all started
It all began around a decade ago in London with what we whimsically dubbed "Blackout Nights"—Once a week, we'd turn off all our tech and engage in actual real-life conversations. I know, weird, right?
Yes, we felt like Victorians at first, but then something strange happened—we started to enjoy not being glued to our devices.
This cherished practice resurfaced during a family campervan trip in Portugal, where an evening of shared questions reminded us of its importance.
Fuelled by these moments of genuine connection, I created BlackoutCards:
250 thought-provoking questions designed to bring your family closer.
Each card promises laughter, heartfelt discussion, and stronger bonds.
Helping families rediscover the joy of connection and create lasting memories,
one question at a time.

Rediscover the Art of Conversation with BlackoutCards
I’ll be honest, they’re probably not for you if you have a perfect, screen-free family where everyone eagerly shares every detail of their day around the dinner table, hanging on your every word.
Personally speaking, Asking my kids how their day went is like getting blood out of a stone.
So, if you live in the real world like I do, then you should own a pack.
Here are three reasons why.

BlackoutCards are packed with conversation starters designed to do one very important thing… bring families closer.

Reason 2:
They are perfect for everyone. Kids, teens, parents, and grandparents can all enjoy these cards. They tease out old memories, opinions, values, and anecdotes, bridging the gap between generations and opening up deeper, more meaningful conversations.
Reason 3:
It’s incredibly easy to play. Simply pick a card at random and take turns answering the prompts. There are no losers, only winners, ensuring a drama-free, fun experience for all.

How it all started
Hey, I'm Stef, an ex-journalist turned content creator from London, and I'm the man behind these BlackoutCards.
It all began around a decade ago.
We dubbed them 'Blackout Nights'—once a week, we'd turn off all our tech and engage in actual real-life conversations.
I know, a bit weird, right?
Yes, we felt like confused Victorians at first, but then something strange happened—we started to enjoy not being glued to our devices.
Then life happened, we had kids, moved out of the city, and slowly forgot all about our little Blackout Night ritual.
That was until a family campervan road trip through Portugal, where we'd spend our evenings off screens, asking each other questions we'd written down during the day.
And that's when I had the idea.
When we got back to the UK, I decided to set to work creating a new game called BlackoutCards: The game would consist of hundreds of thought-provoking questions designed to bring families, friends, and couples closer.
Just like they did for us.
In a world dominated by screens, alerts, and notifications, I wanted to create something that felt like a throwback to a simpler time.
I honestly believe they are a necessary antidote to the complexity of today's hyper-connected world.
So, next time you find yourself reaching for your phone at dinner, why not reach for a BlackoutCard instead?
