Das Kleine Gespenst
Open the right castle door with a magnetic key before the clock moves on.
Who it's for
Children from five who know the book, and parents who want a fifteen-minute round with a bit of theatre.
Not for you if…
You want a game that lasts or grows with the child. It is short, memory-only, best at two players, and the novelty of the magnetic key wears off faster than the box suggests.
Vibe's take
Atmospheric and slightly spooky in the good way, with the magnetic key doing most of the delight.
About this game
Based on Otfried Preußler's children's book: at the stroke of midnight you drift through Castle Eulenstein looking for the object shown in the clock window. A magnetic key opens the castle doors as if a ghost were doing it.
