About this game

Mental Blocks hands your team a pile of foam blocks and a shared structure to build, except nobody sees the whole picture: some players get a flat side view, others a grayscale isometric angle, and a few cannot even speak while they direct. Everyone shouts guidance at once, in real time, racing sixty puzzles that climb from friendly to genuinely fiendish. Add the optional traitor mode and one player secretly knows the real answer while quietly steering the group wrong, which works best before your group develops the shared shorthand that makes lying obvious. Loud, collaborative chaos that somehow turns into a real spatial puzzle.
