Description:

Isn't it time you gave your Tune IN a Tune UP?

The Tune IN Tune UP is an interactive card game designed to help you feel closer to people. Improve your listening and empathy skills and complete fun challenges as you get to know more about your fellow players. Created by a psychiatrist and a marriage and family therapist, Tune IN Tune UP is great for friends, couples, families, and co-workers.

Why to Tune IN Tune UP?

Research shows having close relationships is associated with better health, greater happiness, and even a longer life
Interaction cards teach non-judgmental listening and empathy
Action cards improve mastery of verbal and nonverbal relationship skills
Playing a game is a fun way to enhance your interpersonal expertise
Cards in this game also make great homework, simply assign one or more cards between sessions

Ages 13 through adult. Two or more players.

Sample cards:

Ask the person across from you to talk about what they would do if they knew they were going to die in a year. Then restate what they said. If your partner says you nailed it, keep the card.
Ask the person across rom you to talk about a favorite travel destination. Then act out a commercial for that destination. If anyone wants to go to that place after hearing your ad, keep the card.
Close your eyes and describe the person to your right in as much detail as you can (clothes, shoes, jewelry, eye color, hair color). If that person says you nailed it, keep the card.

Love it!

by Karyn

I love this game! My husband and I played it several times. He's a scientist and not prone to listening to emotional stories. He tended to listen to the first sentence and then tune out thinking he had the relevant information. This game utilized his competitive nature. To win he had to listen and tell me what I'd said. Not only did he come close to winning (I of course being in the arts is better prepared to listen) he began really listening to me in other conversations. Relationship improved! And we had fun. I recommend for any family group or close friends.

I work with adults, in a correctional setting, who struggle with substance use disorders. This game is great to use in individual sessions with my clients AND in several of the classes I teach, specifically regarding socialization. This helps break up the everyday PowerPoints, readings, and worksheets that we normally use.

A delightful and versatile game

by Laura

Tune In Tune Up is delightful and versatile. I first played it with people I’d just met, and we laughed so much! I think it’s primarily designed to strengthen communication among small groups and couples, and I'm looking forward to playing the game with friends and family. As a teacher, I’ll also use the deck to inspire icebreakers and journaling assignments. My sister is a Marriage and Family Therapist, and I bought the game for her, too.

I didn’t know what to expect when I bought the game, so I thought I’d describe it. Players draw cards instructing them to perform actions (i.e. send a meaningful text to the person across from you using only emojis) or describe something about their lives. Some topics are funny and others are serious. Everyone takes turns drawing cards and carrying out their instructions while the other players serve as listeners. Then, one of the listeners restates the words or actions of the card-drawer. If this is done to the satisfaction of that player, the listener gets to take the card. The person with the most cards wins.

I got Tune In Tune Up to play with my family around the dinner table. My kids (18 & 12) have some social skills delays - probably inherited from me - so the game gives us a fun way to work on speech pragmatics while getting to know each other better and enjoying our time together. Each of us usually just takes one turn per mealtime, and only about once a week. It's low-key, fun and beneficial.

An unexpected perk of the game is that it got me out of a funk I was in. I wasn't even sure what brought on my blues, but paying attention to my loved ones and getting a little silly really lifted my mood. I learned that focusing on others can lift my spirits.

No spelling errors but just WTF on some of these cards??? One says to ask another group member about the last time they farted?! And another says to physically bite your tongue while someone talks to you and you get extra points for leaving marks on your tongue?! I could not toss those cards out fast enough.

Learned stuff about my spouse that I thought I knew but didn’t! It was eye opening! I think we are communicating better as a result.

I heard about this on the Feeling Good podcast and bought it to use with my high school students. I used it for the first time recently as an ice breaker for a new class. It was super fun and the class loved it. It really allowed them to get to know each other, as well as creating fun environment with laughter. After a pandemic year this is just what was needed to open students up. I also plan to use this in small group settings. Thanks!

We own a lot of different question decks, this is by far our favorite! All of our family and friends agree. This game promotes real interaction and engagement. Every time we play we are surprised at the laughter, tears, and heartfelt conversations and feelings. We love it!
