All About Us game

It's a cooperative game, where all players share their stories and explore their life with each other.

Designed and researched alongside people with dementia, this game features bright, contrasting colours, clear recognisable shapes, a large typeface and easy to hold cards for those with reduced dexterity.

There is no mention of dementia on the box but it is mentioned in the leaflet that comes with the game.

Each player takes a turn by throwing the dice, moving the counter, and selecting a card, to read out and answer a question card about their life experiences. Divided into the decades of life, players answer questions that provide conversation starters about memories and the future, favourite activities, the people in their lives, personal skills, likes and values, dreams and wishes.

We took our All About Us game along to the Norwich Dementia Voice group to tell us what they thought of it. One of the members, Carole, said the game itself was fun, with questions about their 20s making her say, ‘Oh the secrets are coming out now…!’. You can read the full article in our Dementia Together magazine.
