PLAYED FOR YOU

I Spy Original

Searching and spotting!

I Spy Original offers four different spotting games using four double-sided picture boards featuring „Wimmelbilder“, that is crowded pictures, picture cards and rhyme cards. On each picture card you find one object from each of the eight pictures on the boards.

Suchspiel: Each player takes one of the picture boards and decides on a side he wants to use. You agree on a goal for the game – number of points or cards collected and then draw a picture card. If you are first to find your object you hit the bell and name the object. You either get the card or score 4-3-2-1 points in the order you find your object.

Ding! Ding! Ding! is played with three or four player; you decide on an object on the top card, each player takes one board and searches for this object; if you are sure that it is NOT on your board you hit the bell and all players hand on their board to their neighbor. When you find the object you hit the bell three times and take the card.

Reimspiel: You chose one side of a board, set out the corresponding rhyme card and all search simultaneously for the object or the number of objects defined by the rhyme card. Each rhyme card features rhymes in three languages which do not always relate to the same object.

Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst … one player choses an object, the others pose questions and are given clues; if you find the object you are the next clue giver.

The boards offer new challenges continuously, you can also train and combine abilities like recognition of colors, counting, naming objects and so on, you can find and use letters, too. Excellent fun coupled with excellent educational effects!
