Who it's for

Big family gatherings and groups who already love quick reaction games and want a bigger, trickier version.

Not for you if…

You get frustrated when rules change mid-game, because the twist cards exist purely to mess with your instincts.

About this game

Ghost Blitz: 5 to 12 takes the beloved reaction game Geistesblitz and cranks the object count up to nine, which sounds like a small change until your brain is trying to process five colors and four extra shapes at full speed. Flip a card, see three clues, and grab the one wooden figure that matches neither the shape nor the color shown, unless it's shown in its true color, in which case that's exactly the one you want. An owl means you shout the answer instead of grabbing it, a clock means you call out the time, and the mirror card throws every rule out the window. Twenty minutes of genuinely funny mental whiplash for a big group.
