Journey of Something, Emotional Monsters Bingo

Sixty quirky monsters, ten bingo cards, and a room full of children who are learning about their feelings without realising it.

The monsters in this game have feelings, and the feelings have faces: happy, worried, grumpy, excited, frustrated, calm, and more. Players match monster tokens to their bingo cards, calling out when a monster appears — which means the game is playing bingo and building emotional vocabulary at the same time, with neither activity getting in the way of the other.

Designed by the J.O.S. Studio in Melbourne using a blend of AI and human creativity, the monster characters are expressive and funny rather than clinical, which is precisely why the game works at home, in classrooms, and in therapy settings. A staff favourite at Journey of Something, and the companion game to the Emotional Monsters Snap! card game.
