Decode cryptic alien transmissions, bridge the generational communication gap, and help your extraterrestrial "parents" describe everyday Earth objects in a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud family guessing game.

My Parents Might Be Martians (published by Exploding Kittens) pits grown-ups against kids in a clever, asymmetric party game of limited communication and word association. Moving away from standard trivia or open-ended clue games, this title flips family dynamics on their head: two adult "Martians" must describe secret Earth words to their human "Kid" teammates while bound by bizarre alien communication rules. The primary gameplay objective centers on team deduction and speed: Martian parents race to feed clues to their human offspring to get them to guess secret Earth objects before the rival team decodes them first.

The primary mechanical hurdle stems from strictly restricted alien language constraints. The Martian clue-givers cannot simply talk to their kids; instead, they must provide clues following strict rules—such as writing down single-word associations, restricting syllable counts, or writing clues on specialized alien slate boards under a ticking timer. If an alien parent accidentally breaks the rules or uses forbidden words, the rival team can challenge the transmission and steal the points. Designed for 4 or more players aged 7 and up (ideal for teams of kids vs. adults or mixed family squads), rounds fly by in a lively 15 to 20 minutes. To lead your family to victory, you must decipher weird clues, master non-verbal cues, and translate Martian logic into everyday Earth speech before time runs out.
