Bring the Kingdom of God to Game Night
What If Discipling Your Kids Could Feel Like Play?
Let's be honest — most kids tune out during family devotionals. They fidget. They argue. You're left wondering if anything's sinking in.
That's why we created the Upside Down Kingdom board game! It turns core Kingdom truths into a screen-free, cooperative adventure — where your kids ask to play and talk about Jesus naturally — without any lectures 😉.
How it Works
-
Teamwork
Work together as a team to bring the Gospel from the mountain top to the Ends of the Earth before the white horse reaches the End of the Age.
-
Draw Cards & Dodge Trouble
Collect Attribute cards like Faith, Hope and Forgiveness to overcome obstacles like Storm of Fear & Worry, the Pit of Despair and the Root of Bitterness.
-
Flip the World Upside Down
Match Attribute cards with their opposite Anti-Kingdom cards to flip tiles, grow God's Kingdom and reach your destination faster!

Learn about how God our King brings His saving rule and reign into the world in a way that no one expected. In this rhyming retelling of the Gospel, from a Kingdom perspective, the Creator becomes a servant, the First becomes last and a plan unfolds where the King dwells with His people once more when He returns.
Early Families Are Loving the Game
-
— Amy, Mom of 4
"I was looking through the Anti-Kingdom cards with Emma before bed, and when we got to Madame My Way, she said, "Mom, I struggle with that sometimes." No prompt—just instant self-reflection. For a kid her age, that kind of insight is rare. It's amazing to see a game spark that."

— Alison, Mom of 2
"Our kids are Loving the Game! After we finished it, the kids said "can we play again?!" I appreciate how it weaves in deep truths about the Kingdom of God in a way our kids actually understand."

🌱Designed to Teach. Built to Play.
Upside Down Kingdom empowers parents to disciple their kids — through Scripture, laughter, and a little holy mischief (2 Tim 3:16–17). Through every turn, kids will begin to understand:
- What the Kingdom of God is like
- Who the King is — and what He's like
- How to walk in Kingdom character (Col. 3:12–17)
- That you can't just get rid of ways of this world within yourself, you must replace them by "putting on the new self, created after the likeness of God" (Eph 4:24)
Hi, I’m Vicky!
wife, mom, and founder of Upside Down Kingdom.
I believe discipleship doesn’t have to be complicated or forced... it can be fun, beautiful, and full of laughter!
That’s why I designed Upside Down Kingdom: To help parents teach theology through play, and to make faith something their kids can actually see, touch, and experience.
It's theology by immersion — not lecture.
