Pix Mix .... A Great Game!

So you are the kind of person who can't ever find the scissors in the junk drawer...... even if they are right in front of your face ....... regardless of how hard you try?? This is the game for you! Sharpen your visual skills with Pix Mix, The Super-Speedy Game of Scrutiny! What a fun game!

It comes with 80 transparent picture cards which include things like a bowling pin, anchor, pencil, palm tree, and so on and so on. Each player starts the game with 6 cards stacked on top of each other. You flip the timer and have 30 seconds to figure out how many objects you can decipher through your stack. The lines of all the cards blend together and it gets tough to tell what you are looking at! The game includes a scorecard where you write down the objects you see. When the timer runs out, you go through your cards one by one and see how may objects you guessed correctly.

Here's an example of what 6 stacked cards looks like in Pix Mix:

Can you figure out what you see??

I played the game with my 7 year old son, and we both scored almost the same! You turn the cards all directions to help you make sense of all the crazy shapes. We cheated a little bit and extended our time to help us figure out a few more pictures. Its great to play with your kids because you really don't have any advantage with age. Its easy for your kids to beat you in this one (without actually letting them win!) There are no complicated instructions to review and not much setup. Since each game is supposed to be 30 seconds long, you can play if you only have a few minutes or keep going if you have more time.

Oh, by the way, if you're still stumped on what you were looking at in those six stacked pictures....... saw, airplane, butterfly, camel, anchor, Christmas tree. How many did you get?
