Ask the right questions and guess what’s on your head when you play Guessing Things!
Created in collaboration with the team behind the New York Times bestselling book Invisible Things, this easy-to-learn guessing game is fun for the whole family. This playful twist on the beloved game of What Am I? is also a powerful yet playful tool for kids to name and engage with their emotions as well as think about all the things they can’t see.

Simply pop a card into another player’s glasses and get to guessing! Half the deck will help children understand and talk about Invisible Things like emotions, sounds, and dreams as they ask thoughtful questions: “Am I a feeling?” “Do I feel this a lot?” “Does this make me happy?” “Am I love?” “YES!” The other half of the deck encourages awareness of what’s in the world around them as they ask silly questions: “Am I food?” “Am I cheesy?” “Do I like pineapple on this?” “Am I pizza?” “YES!”

Made for 2–4 players, ages 6+, you choose whether to play against the timer and keep things moving fast or pick a slower pace to think and talk about what’s on your cards. Guessing Things improves patience and focus, encourages emotional development, and helps children understand turn-taking and winning and losing with grace.

Inside the box, you’ll find 30 Invisible Things cards, 20 Things cards, 4 pairs of card glasses (2 for kids, 2 for grown-ups), a guessing guide sheet, a wooden sand timer, and English instructions. The game is made using FSC paper and wood, and the packaging is printed using 75% recycled materials and vegetable inks.

Matthew ★★★★★

The prompt cards are cleverly designed so even my six-year-old can ask questions without help, and the guessing rounds keep everyone engaged. It’s become our go-to after-dinner activity, and the "what am I?" twist really sparks some hilarious wrong guesses we still laugh about.

Robert ★★★★★

We played this at a family gathering and the question-guessing mechanic got everyone shouting over each other in the best way. The cards are sturdy enough for repeated rounds, and the tie-in with Invisible Things made the prompts feel clever rather than random.

Hazel ★★★★★

The included reference to Invisible Things adds a nice layer of depth for kids who already love that book, and the headband setup makes it way easier for my 6-year-old to keep track of whose turn it is. We’ve already played three rounds in a row without anyone getting bored.
