Who it's for

You are playing with kids around six and want memory with a bit of mischief. Adults can play along without being bored, thanks to the monster tricks.

Not for you if…

You want a serious strategy game. Memory skills help, but it is a playful kids' game at heart.

Vibe's take

Giggly and mischievous, with that familiar memory-game tension of 'was it under this one?' plus the fun of sending monsters after a sibling. The board changing as rooms open keeps kids curious.

About this game

A memory game where elves tidy a house while sock monsters lurk. You play a brave elf rescuing socks from chests and lockers, and the first to collect three pairs wins. But monsters start in the corners and move in, always ready to snatch a lone sock from a careless elf and carry it off to a dark corner. You can also turn them loose on your opponents. Rooms open up and the game box hides useful items, so the board changes as you play. It is aimed at kids from six, with a mischievous touch that adults can enjoy too.
