Is this actually fun, or is it an “educational” game?
It is a genuinely funny party game first. Kids and grown-ups compete to play the most hilarious response to an awkward human moment. Confidence, connection, and resilience happen naturally along the way—without making the game feel like a lesson.
How do you play?
Flip a Field Note Card and read the awkward situation aloud. Everyone plays one Response Card, then the funniest or most human answer is chosen. It is simple to learn and usually has the whole table laughing within the first round.
What ages is Totally Human for?
Totally Human is designed for ages 6 and up. The situations are easy for younger children to understand, while the humour remains entertaining for older kids, teens, parents, and grandparents.
How many people can play?
The game is made for 3–8 players.
How long does the game take?
Most games take around 15–30 minutes, making it easy to play after dinner, during a family gathering, or whenever you need a quick screen-free activity.
Can this be used in classrooms or therapy sessions?
Yes. It works well for morning meetings, indoor recess, small groups, counselling sessions, and classroom icebreakers. It encourages kids to listen, relate to one another, and laugh together without feeling like a formal activity.
What are the two ways to play?
In Competitive Mode, one player acts as the Judge and chooses the most human response. The first player to collect 3 Sync Tokens wins.
In Cooperative Mode, everyone works together to predict which answer the group will choose. The team must earn 12 Sync Tokens before collecting 5 Static Tokens.
Is the humour appropriate for classrooms and families?
Yes. The game focuses on relatable, everyday moments and playful responses. It is designed to be family-friendly and classroom-safe, without inappropriate or mean-spirited humour.
Do we need the audio show to play the game?
No. Totally Human is a complete standalone game. The audio show is an optional bonus for families who want to continue exploring Pip and Nova’s universe after game night.
