Pyramid of Pengqueen
Hide-and-seek as a board game: penguins sneak past a blind, magnetic Mummy to steal the treasure.
Who it's for
Families and mixed-age groups who enjoy hide-and-seek tension and want a physical, tactile twist on deduction games.
Not for you ifโฆ
You dislike being the odd one out in an asymmetric game, since the solo Mummy role plays very differently from the raiders.
Vibe's take
sneaky, tense, deductive, playful, unpredictable

About this game
Pyramid of Pengqueen turns hide-and-seek into a proper board game. One player becomes the Mummy, patrolling a vertical 3D pyramid from one side while the rest sneak their penguin tomb raiders across the other side, completely invisible to the guardian. The catch: everything is magnetic, so the Mummy has to track its own position across the board face while reading dice rolls and clue cards to sniff out where the intruders are hiding. Raiders creep toward hidden treasure with careful timing, always one wrong move from getting caught. It is equal parts deduction and nerve, and the reveal when the Mummy finally catches someone never gets old.
