What if big feelings had a
boss battle
— and kids actually wanted to fight them?

We made therapy techniques collectible  ✦  Kids think they're gaming. They're actually growing.

We're hand-selecting educators, therapists, and parents to test Kaijutsu — the trading card game where mindfulness became a power card and emotional intelligence levels up one epic combo at a time.

Kaijutsu was co-developed by parents, teachers, and child development experts. We want feedback from the people in the room with kids every day — and the parents surviving the evenings.

Educators · K–8 Teachers

Real talk from the teacher's lounge: that post-lunch chaos? The Friday-afternoon energy? You need a tool that actually works — without adding a single thing to your prep list.

15 minutes of Kaijutsu resets the whole classroom vibe. Your students will literally ask to practice their mindfulness techniques. The only SEL tool that doesn't feel like one more thing on your plate.

💬 "Friday-afternoon energy level? Play a quick Kaijutsu face-off."

Child Therapists · Counselors

Finding evidence-based activities that kids genuinely choose during free play — and request by name — is rare. Most tools feel like homework the moment the session ends.

Each Power Card is a real mindfulness or regulation technique, CASEL-aligned and disguised as a collectible. Kids think they're gaming. Clinical outcomes meet genuine engagement.

🔬 Evidence-based emotional regulation through gamified play. The SEL tool kids actually choose.

Parents · Caregivers

You want something that can actually compete with a screen — and teaches something real while it's at it. (Also: you've been burned by "educational games" before. We get it.)

Yes, it's educational. No, they won't notice. They'll be too busy trading Lumi cards and leveling up their EQ. The 15-minute solution to big feelings that doesn't involve a single charger.

😄 "And yes — you'll probably steal their deck for your own stress relief."

Screen-Free Ages 8–14 Family Bonding

Low-commitment. High impact.

Here's the thing about feelings — they don't wait for a perfect curriculum. We're not asking for your time. We're offering a power card in exchange for your honest expertise.

The kids didn't want to stop. One student asked if she could bring the Power Cards home to teach her little brother the breathing technique. That doesn't happen with worksheets. That doesn't happen with most games either.
