Built from a family idea. Made for every table.
MOSAYK brings products, stories, culture and strategic play together. CHIMAX is where that started: thirteen cards, and a belief that focus is worth practicing.
Our mission: put CHIMAX in the hands of half the world.
Half the world is roughly four billion people. We know exactly how ambitious that sounds. We are saying it anyway, because the goal behind it is simple: cognitive literacy — the practice of paying attention, holding a sequence in mind, reading a table, and choosing a next move — should not depend on where you were born or what you can afford.
A CHIMAX set is thirteen cards. It costs less than a night out, fits in a pocket, and needs no batteries, no screen, no signal, and no instructions beyond a single sentence. That is not a limitation. That is the distribution model.
The mission
Changing the world, one move at a time.
CHIMAX is more than a deck of cards. It is a family-built idea designed to spark connection, strategy, and possibility — one move at a time.
The family
Meet the people behind the play.
CHIMAX began as a family-born idea built around focus, memory, imagination and strategy. The name brings together Chi and Max.
Chi and Max are the co-creators of CHIMAX. Their parents, Shemekka and Mike Stewart-Isaacs, built MOSAYK around the idea.
