Put down those tablets. Inktopia is an interactive, fun & easy game of movement, imagination, emotional intelligence and creative thinking for the whole family.

Your goal if you choose to accept it, is to be the first to make it all the way around the board through the colorful lands of Inktopia while having fun performing the tasks on the cards.

2-6 Players

Ages 5+

  1. The youngest player starts and play passes to the left.
  2. On your turn, spin the character spinner and move your game piece to the nearest matching character space. Choose a card from the top of the matching character pile.
  3. Perform the task on the card. Once the task is finished, play moves to the next player.
  4. If you land on the Alfred wedge, you lose your turn and play moves to the next player.
  5. If you land on the spark wedge, fly to the nearest of the two spark spaces on the board. This is considered "wild" so choose a card from any pile and perform the task. The spark wedge can only move you forward. If you are past the second spark on the board and land on the spark wedge, keep spinning until you land on a different wedge.
  6. To win the game and land on the "You Win" space, the spinner must stop on a character that is not pictured on any of the remaining spaces.

Inklings are imaginary friends looking to nurture creative thinking, imagination, emotional intelligence and movement in children through play.

“Act Out” with Ollie cards - Use your imagination and creativity to act out what is on the card.

“Draw It” with Gus cards – Use your artistic creativity to draw what is on the card.

“Let’s Dance” with Wobby cards - using free and creative movement make up your own 5 to 10 second dance. If you pull one of the “Dance Party” cards, everyone playing will join you and dance however they like for a quick and fun dance party!

“Move it” with Marley cards - Use movement and body control to do the exercise that is on the card. *This game is designed to be inclusive. You will find a list of seated exercise ideas included on the instructions sheet. Feel free to make up fun exercises of our own!

“Word Play” with Jaffy cards - Use critical thinking to solve the word puzzle on the card. (The correct answers are printed upside down on the cards)

“Feel It” with Digby cards - help build emotional intelligence by answering the question on the card

We feel that now more than ever as a society we should be raising well rounded & thoughtful kids. Kids who are not only physically healthy, but mentally and emotionally healthy as well. Kids who learn critical thinking, empathy and problem solving. Kids who learn that using their imagination and creativity is a strength and that they should hold onto that superpower well into adulthood. Kids that know that during both our darkest and brightest moments, talking about what we're feeling is important or that sometimes all you need in life is to do a whacky dance with friends just because of the joy and laughter it brings. 

We're not geniuses, this game won’t save lives, we haven't figured out the secret to raising kind, healthy & happy kids. We're not special in any way, we're in our early 40s, our knees pop when we drop it low and get back up while listening to Biggie, we see stars when we attempt cartwheels, Lex literally doesn't know how to balance a checkbook (Don't worry, we wouldn't let her near the company finances with a 10-foot pole and someone else's brain). 

Aim is a stressed out parent of two, who's doing the best she can and learning as she goes just like everyone else. Lex is a fun aunt who has a couple cats, so her life is... actually pretty easy and peaceful, which is super annoying to everyone. As you read this she is probably taking an afternoon nap or reading a book in a silent house. 

We think that both you and your kids will love playing this game as much as us and ours do. We designed it to be fun first, because we all know...A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. 

More to come when we launch!

Aim & Lex
