A beautifully illustrated board game that pairs with a free companion app to turn family game night into something more meaningful — from "who takes out the bins" to "how do you feel about social media".
Family Xchange is a hybrid — not a board game with a nice-to-have app bolted on. The app is the brain, the board is the body. You need both to play.
Players roll a die and move their token around a board of 74 illustrated tiles. Landing on a Family Xchange tile triggers a challenge from the app — pitched at that player's age, by their favourite character. Landing on a gold X coin tile triggers a power play — jump ahead, swap positions, gift a move to a teammate, or deploy your shield. First to the end wins. Or co-operate to beat the bedtime clock. Your call.
Every challenge card belongs to one of three tiers. The first two are always on. The third is entirely parent-controlled — kids never see the settings menu.
Favourites, family memories, silly dares, and the kind of questions that end in everyone laughing. The floor of every session.
Chores, kindness, money basics, and safety — the everyday stuff families mean to talk about but rarely get to before someone's phone rings.
Social media, gaming, bodies, consent, money, mental health, peer pressure, difference. Each topic is off by default. Each card is reviewed by a specialist. Parents choose what's right for their family.
Every Tier 3 card is written and reviewed by a specialist — a paediatrician, family therapist, school counsellor, financial-literacy educator, or digital-literacy educator. Nothing said in a Big Conversation is ever recorded by the app.
Three modes. One family. Zero excuses to not have a game night.
First player to reach the end wins. Simple. Fast. Someone will gloat. That's the point.
Last player to reach the end wins. Power plays and careful tile-management win over raw speed. Patience, not momentum.
The whole family must reach the end before the bedtime clock catches up. Play warm (help each other) or set rivalry mode (compete quietly while cooperating out loud).
The House Board takes players on a winding path through a beautifully illustrated family home — from the front door to the master bedroom, through the kitchen, the study, the garage and everywhere a sock might go missing.
Two board themes at launch: the Family Xchange House Board and the Prehistoric Jungle (Jungle Beat 2, sold as a sister product with its own unique cast of characters).
The companion app knows who's playing and serves each player a challenge matched to their age band. 300+ cards across five bands means the deck takes a while to repeat.
Every challenge card is presented by one of twelve original characters — each with a home room on the board, a personality kids clock within one session, and a voice actor in the app.
