How do you play?

The first step is to remove the lid from the box and place it on top of any phones.

Number ONE Rule of Blackout Cards:

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.

Time To Reconnect

The Inspiration Behind the Idea

In today's fast-paced world, families often struggle to find quality time to connect with each other. Between work, school, and various activities, it's easy for genuine communication to fall by the wayside.
I wanted to create a card game that would address this challenge and provide a fun, engaging way for families to come together and strengthen their bonds.

The Power of Connection

I have always believed in the power of meaningful conversations.
When family members share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, they lay the groundwork for stronger relationships built on trust, understanding, and mutual respect.

A Tool for Modern Families

I envisioned a card game that would serve as a tool for modern families to reconnect. It would be filled with thought-provoking questions, creative prompts, and interactive activities aimed at sparking genuine dialogue.

Creating Lasting Memories

One of my core goals was to help families create lasting memories. I wanted each card to inspire moments of laughter, discovery, and heartfelt sharing.
These moments become the stories families cherish and remember for years to come.

Bridging Generational Gaps

I also aimed to design a game that would bridge generational gaps. Whether you're a parent, child, or grandparent, the game would have something for everyone, making it an inclusive experience that appeals to all age groups.

Cultivating Empathy and Respect

By encouraging family members to share and listen, the game cultivates empathy and respect. It provides a safe space where every voice is heard and valued, fostering a supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable opening up.

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.

 

Reason 1:

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

They spark meaningful, interesting, and often hilarious conversations, leaving everyone feeling more connected and closer than ever.”

 

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.

 

But that’s not all. BlackoutCards can transform ordinary evenings into extraordinary moments of bonding and joy.

 

Imagine the laughter, the discoveries, the connections, all for the price of a pizza.
