Turn any day into an adventure for Dad
Works everywhere - even in places he thinks he knows well

Every time you play it's a different outcome
No planning required
Just shuffle the cards and go have an adventure with Dad
Give Dad something different this Father's Day
The Getting Lost Game is a card game you play in the real world to help you find places to explore. It's not like anything else you've given Dad before -no app, no screen, no plan. Just grab your pack, shuffle the cards, and follow the directions. Prepare to laugh, get a little lost, and be surprised at what you discover, even in streets he thinks he knows well.
Take Dad on the perfect unplugged adventure with the kids, or send him out solo to switch off and let the day unfold. Either way, it's a gift and an adventure rolled into one little pack for Father's Day - and unlike most gifts, he'll actually use it again and again, since it's different every time he plays.

It all started in a campground in stillwater....
Our story
I was 12 years old, and I met James who was 13. We fell in love, and then broke up 4 weeks later! Fast forward 25 years and we'd just started dating again - this time with 3 kids in tow. I started writing a blog (it was 2015 - they were big okay!) and a lot of people asked how we found all the off the beaten track spots we blogged about. So we created a card game to help you discover some of your own. We sold out literally overnight on our first day and since then we've sent people on over 350,000 Getting Lost adventures around the world...
Let customers speak for us
Our Getting Lost games were a core part of a planned surprise road trip for my husband’s 50th birthday. We hired his dream wheels, loaded up the aging teen kids, and headed off with our Adventurer’s Edition and Dad’s Edition. We explored, we laughed our heads off, we played in parks, ate lunch in an unknown town, and found ourselves in a cutesy bookshop where we wisely spent a bunch of time and money. And may I say, if you draw a card that tells you to turn left every time a song lyric uses the word, Taylor Swift’s “Right Where You Left Me” is a crack up!
We gave packs from our order to two other families for Chrstmas and all three of us have already had a go with the kids.
We love this game and the new things we have already seen!
The suitcase is great for in the car and keeping the used cards separate.
Highly Recommend 😀
New Order will be put through in the New Year!
Such a perfect gift idea, had to buy some my myself.
Now I need more, they are such a great idea for lazy days and fussy passengers.
We took the Restaurant Edition cards (and also Walkers Edition) with us on our recent holiday to Malaysia. We had lots of fun using both, and with the Restaurant Edition we discovered a gorgeous little hidden Hawker Food Market in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. I highly recommend the Restaurant Edition cards for when you are in a different town/city as you'll find some wonderful little hidden cafes/restaurants that you probably wouldn't have found or known about without using the cards.
My partner and I just loved the getting lost cards. What an exciting day, not knowing where we would end up, have lunch or just a coffee. We found some places we didn’t know about. Best day ever. Finding a playground and having a swing was amazing!
Such a fun and easy way to take off without a care in the world and not having to plan a thing!
Three old friends wanting to catch up after way too long and the Road Trip version of Getting Lost was perfect.
Plenty of laughs, fun challenges and great photos.
Highly recommend this…
Purchased this for my sister's 60th birthday and four siblings headed out on a birthday adventure... it was so much fun and required very little organisation.
We had a blast dressed in our Op Shop outfits and having all kinds of conversations and adventures. I admit I added in a few extra activity cards myself (eg. Find a picnic table and drink wine and eat cake - and other cards that forced interaction with strangers which added lots of laughs for all comcerned).
We loved our outfits so much we kept them on for cocktails at a swanky bar and dinner out, to finish off the birthday. Thank you. It was a riot and we got to advertise "getting lost" cards to everyone along the way who asked what on earth we were doing.
Bought walking edition for a nephew on each side of our family. My kids loved being party of some post Christmas cousin adventures. Kids outdoors having an unplanned adventure together in their neighbourhood - best part of the gift.
Looking forward to trying the cruise version we bought for ourselves later this year.
Definitely a must do for all ages , we had a ball, so loved the unknown where we were going & got lost too
My friend and I are highly experienced in getting lost on rural roads (and some that aren't quite roads). We've even managed to have Search & Rescue alerted on one occasion. Neither of us seem to have much sense of direction. This game has added an extra exciting element to our travels in that it sets the expectation that we're going to get lost right from the start. Very satisfying! My son is appalled, by the way, - he said that the last thing we needed was encouragement!
Had a fantastic time with the Grandkiddos! After all what else do you do on the 1st day of winter but spend several hours at the beach, eat hokey pokey ice creams and write about a great day had by all...
Hi I purchased the road trip cards and my best friend and I set off last weekend ..we had the absolute best day, so many laughs and getting us out of our comfort zones..I'll definitely be doing more of this and purchasing for my family..what a fantastic idea 💡 ❤️
I lost 2 of my daughters recently both to cancer and its been hard going forward..this was the best therapy
Myself and 2 of my girlfriends went out for the day. I gave the Girls Edition to one of my friends for a birthday gift. We had such a good time. We laughed, we talked and we even cried. Even though we have known each other for years, we opened up to each other and learnt things we didn't know before. It is such good therapy and it has bought us closer together. Thank you to the creators of this wonderful and adventurous game.
My friend and I finally got to do the trip, and wow what a fantastic time we had!
Was sooo much fun!
I think I might have an obsession with these cards. Bought for our grown up kids for Xmas and when they arrived decided I needed some too. Well 4-5 purchases later I think it's fair to say I have a problem haha. These are brilliant. Can't recommend them enough. So much fun and some awesome laughs playing with them. Cat and her team are awesome to deal with. Quick dispatch and delivery too, which is awesome. Now I'm buying some for gifts so other people can have as much fun as we have with them.

Frequently asked questions answered by real people playing our games!
Will this work where I live?
Reviewers often say the game takes them to places they never knew existed - even in their own neighbourhood.
One family shared:
“We started from our home in Māngere and drove all around Auckland following the cards. We found little lakes in industrial areas we never knew existed, went down streets we’d never been down and explored neighbouring suburbs we’d never ventured through before.”
Another reviewer said:
“We travelled through about five suburbs on back streets we would never normally use and discovered shops we didn’t know we had near our area.”
Adventurers frequently mention discovering hidden parks, local cafés, small towns and scenic spots close to home. Even people who know their area well say the cards send them to places they would never normally go.
Will we actually use it more than once?
Yes! Reviewers frequently mention using the cards multiple times.
One customer wrote:
“We’ve spent the last few weekends playing with our various sets.”
Another reviewer said their family has started collecting different versions so they can:
“Try them all out.”
Many adventurers describe it as something they bring out whenever they want a spontaneous adventure.
Do I have to plan anything?
No. Reviewers often say the best part is that you don’t need a plan.
One customer explained:
“We just set off and went where the cards told us.”
Another reviewer said they love that it lets them:
“Get out with no destination and just go where the day — or the cards — take us.”
Many adventurers say the game works because it removes the pressure of planning what to do.
Is it actually fun or just a gimmick?
It's actually fun! Reviewers consistently say the biggest surprise is how much fun they have.
One customer wrote:
“It’s simple and fun — a great way to explore without a destination in mind.”
Another said their outing turned into:
“A fabulous Saturday together.”
Many reviews describe the experience as turning an ordinary day out into something memorable.
One reviewer summed it up like this:
“We got lost, got found again and laughed till our sides hurt.”
