PRESALE FOR Lift Off: The Card Game

Welcome to the card game that helps gamify the countdown to adulting!

Lift Off is a simple game designed to help teens learn about, practice, and explore common "adulting" tasks while taking the anxiety out of it.

How it Works:

There are 7 types of "Operation Cards" - each Operation corresponds to a Big Adulting Theme.

• Operation: Stardust - focuses on money and finances.
• Operation: Alien Life - focuses on social and romantic relationships of all types.
• Operation: Being Human - focuses on personal health and well-being.
• Operation: Spacecraft - focuses on driving and transportation.
• Operation: Home Planet - focuses on independent living and housing.
• Operation: Wormhole - focuses on education and learning.
• Operation: Specialist - focuses on jobs and careers.

On the back of each Operation Card there are 3 Mission Levels, depending on your comfort and readiness!

1. Mission Level: Research will give you a question to answer or something to look up (which you can do from the safety of your own room!)
2. Mission Level: Orbit will give you a first-step sort of task designed to give you just a little boost.
3. Mission Level: Galactic will give you a bigger step towards "adulting" in that particular topic!

You can play a game of chance - choose a random Operation Card and then complete a random mission!

You can play a more focused version, for example you can focus on specific areas of becoming an adult (for example, choose only cards that relate to driving or college), or focus only on specific mission levels (only do the research level missions until you feel ready to launch further!)

I even have a few blank ones included so that you can include missions that are location or culture specific (for example...where I am in Southern California, I do not need to know how to scrape my windshields. Or when I'd need to do that? But you might!)

With so many variations, you get to choose how these cards will work best for you!

In my experience as a therapist who works with teens and their parents during the often difficult transition to adulthood - I've found that having a little bit of lighthearted and external pressure can be a helpful tool. It's my hope that this game provides a method to go out into the big, vast space that is your future in a way that helps you feel safe and well-prepared.
