Game Info
- For 2 to 9 players
- 10 to 20 minute playtime
- Ages 10 and up
Each Player has their own unique view of the same puzzle! You have to work together (without showing your card!) to figure out which shape matches everyone's view! Some players have flat 2D side views and some have gray 3D isometric views!
This is a real-time game with a 10 minute time limit and features an optional hidden traitor! A player who knows the solution to the puzzle and works to prevent the team from solving the puzzle. But they have to be sneaky and not get caught!
With 60 puzzles, the game ranks them all from 1 star (easy) to 6 stars (extreme). Plus you can throw in individual restriction cards that limit player actions (can only touch blue, can't speak) all the way up to glitches that affect the whole table!

Instructions are complex. Age on box seems a bit low.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2024I loved working with isometric projections in my drafting and engineering classes. This game is a great introduction to that isometric projections are. Foam blocks are lightweight but suitable for the game design. They could be sturdier or perhaps made of wood for a higher-quality game but they are totally sufficient for play. If you've never tried to wrap your head around what isometric projections are, you may need a little bit of practice, but if you were a huge nerd like me - this game is so much fun, especially for young and aspiring engineers.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021Excellent party game for people who are looking for something more sophisticated than [insert vulgar/insipid card game here]. AND equally good for children who need an intellectual challenge.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2020Really creative, lots of thought went into making this game. I absolutely love it!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2019This game is really fun and its challenging too. Great for class rooms and young kids too. Me and 3 of my drunk friends played it. It really makes you think and work together. You have 10 mins on a timer to solve the puzzle. It's a 3d puzzle but your only provided with a 2d view of the board on each of the 4 cards. You can also do up to 9 players (really I feel only 8 since the 9th card is the solution but what ever) the other 4 are the corners in gray scale. Now there are only 60 puzzles but with the modifyer cards and the chances of you getting the same one are low I think it makes it very replay also I doubt I will rember any solution. I also find it really interesting that there is only one of each sized and colored block. Really make the game simple to understand but allows you in increase the difficulty more. I wish this game had more reviews here becuase it so good. It unlike most board games I have played before I also really like the all coop aspect good for when you want to play a challengeing game where you all work together and not against eachother. One reason it's great for people of all ages and its simple. To understand but difficult to play. Really makes you think.
But I have a gripe with the game, it's the overall build quality. The prices are made out of hard foam not wood or plastic, foam. At $35 they should not be foam. One small spill will ruin this entire game. Kids with dirry finger will be a problem too. Also the bags they give you for the carda are slightly too big and will never fit in the small box it comes with to hold the cards so just thow that away.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2021Instructions are a bit complex, and I got the feeling the game is a bit stretched to make it more than it is. Took a long time to get an 8 y.o. to understand what to do, let alone an adult.
Also, we got a card with two yellow triangles and there is only one supplied. Other cards show similar situations where you must use a specific shape, twice, but only one supplied. Again, instructions don’t seem to cover what to here, so we had to make a house rule to use any color. Perhaps it wasn’t extensively playtested?

5.0 out of 5 stars Destreza mental
Un buen juego para pasarlo solo o en equipo, te reta, al principio puede ser un rompecocos pero luego se intensifica y se vuelve adictivo, muy buen juego de destreza mental y dimensión espacial.
