This game is basically if Codenames was slightly more exciting and had an element of exploration to it! I love playing this game with large groups, it's more involved than codenames so there's better "group decision-making" and it's so replayable with the different maps with traps and starter words. Tons of fun, highly recommend!

The game is undoubtedly pretty fun once you pick it up and play. However, in a year that I've owned it I only picked it up a couple of times. I'm in my thirties so maybe the game is aimed at a younger audience. My group and I did enjoy it like I mentioned. It is well designed and fun to play but I just wish I was playing it more often.

This game is like a blend of codenames and an adventure board game. It's so much fun being the clue giver and guiding your team to the treasure and just as fun watching how your team can mess up your plans by thinking of almost impossible connections.

One of my new favorite word association games. Just brilliant.

Got this game as we really like word association games such as Codenames, Mystic Paths, Medium, Just One, etc. In the 2 player, cooperative mode – there is a clue giver and a clue receiver. The clue giver draws a map card that shows where the different landmarks are located on the map as well as three starter words. The goal of the game is to guide the clue receiver to both the treasure and exit while avoiding traps and curses using word clues. For example, if the location I wanted my partner to go to has the words “movie” and “food” adjacent to it, I would write the clue “popcorn,” hoping my partner places the “popcorn” tile in that location. Firstly, in terms of production, the quality of the components is outstanding – the map itself is printed on a nice fabric, and the dry erase tiles appear to be thick and durable. Also, both the map and dry erase tiles are double-sided – one side is plain for easy readability, and the other features more artwork that resembles an actual landscape. Our initial games were played on the plain side (just to see more clearly while learning the game), but we definitely plan to utilize the more decorative side on future plays. As for overall gameplay – we found it to be super fun and engaging, for both the clue giver and receiver. An aspect of the game that we really liked was that – beside the three starting words – the entire map consists of words / clues that you have to think of and give to your gaming partner. In that way, you can try to plan your path accordingly, using previously-used words / clues to help influence your future locations. Additionally, there are special locations (such as the treasure) that create a ‘push-your-luck’ type of feel, as the clue giver is forced to decide whether or not they want to go for the treasure (for that extra achievement) or simply head straight for the exit. All in all, found this to be a terrific word game, great for couples and larger groups alike! A great addition to our collection, and we look forward to exploring some of the other game modes as well!

Pretty easy game to learn (via manual or QR code video instructions) and fun for the right groups. If you've played other word association games like Codenames, it's similar to that but with a bit of a roadtrip/adventure twist added in. Components are nice quality and everything comes in a box that's small enough to transport.

Rulebook Another game that is easy to grasp and play and the rulebook explains it well. If you are struggling with it there is a QR code that can teach you how to play. Components The tiles are nice and thick and can be written on and they erase easily. The cloth map is something that we like but note that you should play with it on a hard surface. If you put it on top of a tablecloth it doesn't always lay flat. No issues with the cards, either. Solid components. Gameplay You are essentially stringing together words on hexagon island to try to guide your team to the treasure. There is a competitive mode but we didn't play that one. The starting words are on the cards and then it is up to you to build off of it. Similar to Codenames, you can't let your team know if the hex they guessed was the one you intended. Unless, they fall into one of the bad ones or water, etc. If you like games like Codenames, then I think you will like this one. Highly recommend!
