SUSSED Lifeology (Hilarious Family Friendly Conversation Card Game) (Find Out Who Knows Best)

We do not actually play this as the game it was designed to be. Instead, we use the questions as a springboard for deeper conversations on short and long drives. The scenarios are so zany and unexpected that they spark laughter, curiosity, and even reminders of stories from our own childhoods. The miles fly by, and we end up learning so much about each other in a natural, indirect way. How We Use It Our “rule” is that you have to pick the closest match to your feelings and explain why, even if you do not love either choice. Sometimes we guess each other’s answers, which gets us closer to playing the official game, but the real fun is in the conversations that follow. Question Quality The prompts are original and unique, often pushing my kids to think more deeply about the world and about themselves. This encourages free association and sparks thoughts that do not normally come up in day-to-day life. Flexibility We might do just one question, one card with three questions, or a small stack. It works equally well for short bursts or longer stretches. Physical Quality & Packaging The card quality is what you would expect. A few are dog-eared over time but still perfectly usable. My only knock is the packaging. The set comes as two stacks in a larger temporary box. I wish it came in a compact case. We solved it with two ziplock bags in the car, one for “used” and one for “new,” but a purpose-made case would have been better. Value For the amount of fun and connection we have gotten, this is easily worth the price. We have already spent hours talking, laughing, and thinking together. You cannot put a price on a game that reliably turns car time into a goldmine of meaningful conversation with your kids.

Played this with my 13 year old. We haven't had such a good laugh in ages! The cards are good quality, bright & appealing, small enough to take away with you & great entertainment. I like that there's different colour packs, with different questions. I also like that it can be a quick game, there's no need to score, but easy to do if you want to. Only downside for me, and it's probably a me issue, is that I don't like it when cards are packed in 2 layers. There's probably a really good reason for it, but wish the box would take the entire pack in one go.

We've played this twice (in a week) and so far even my uncommunicative teenage boys enjoy it! The designers did a great job of making it low-stress and also gamified the questions in an appealing way. I've tried other sets of conversation cards (Talking Points Teens and Family sets) and those have not worked nearly as well, because the boys seemed to I was just forcing conversation on them. With this set, we talk and laugh a lot. Nothing too profound:-) but still feel connected by sharing a fun conversation.

We gave this as gift opened Xmas and we played it together around the table. It was fun we laughed and had a good time. It was a bit confusing on what cards you kept etc. but fun game

We loved playing it at our family Christmas. What's great is that it's for all ages! We had lots of fun and laughs playing and we learned a lot about each other!
