Who it's for

Mixed-age family groups and party crowds who want something imaginative and gentle rather than confrontational.

Not for you if…

You want sharp strategy or hate wearing a blindfold in front of people, because the whole game hinges on that mask.

About this game

When I Dream turns one player into the Dreamer, blindfolded and drifting, while everyone else becomes a spirit shaping the dream around them. Good spirits whisper honest clues, naughty spirits twist the story toward chaos, and a trickster or two might flip sides mid-round without warning. You have just two minutes per dream, so every hint has to land fast, and the Dreamer's job afterward is to sort truth from mischief and name the troublemakers. It plays like a cooperative campfire story crossed with hidden-role deduction, gentle enough for a mixed-age table and strange enough that no two dreams ever go the same way.
