Pixie Time^*

Pixie Time from HABA is a cooperative real-time game for 2 to 6 kids aged 8+. Together you catch cheeky pixies before the shared hourglass runs out.

What is it about?

Pixies have escaped at the Magic Academy. You move one shared hourglass through a shifting network of catacomb tiles. The goal is to reach and catch every pixie while there is still sand in the glass. Each round takes about 15 minutes.

Every pixie wants something

When you catch a pixie, it triggers a team action that everyone has to perform together:

• clap
• cheer
• snap your fingers
• knock on the table

It gets people moving and laughing, while the clock keeps running.

Six exams as a campaign

Pixie Time is played as a short campaign of six challenges. Each magical exam adds something new:

1. new tile types
2. obstacles
3. portals
4. guardians and other special rules

The difficulty climbs step by step, so the group grows into the game.

Who is it for?

Families and groups of kids who prefer playing together rather than against each other. Success depends on talking, quick decisions and an efficient route. The rules come in several languages.

Conclusion

Pixie Time mixes time pressure with goofy gestures and a campaign that makes you want to try the next exam. If your group enjoys frantic team games, it is a great pick. Kids who get stressed by a ticking timer may be happier with something calmer.
