About the game
What you do in a play session
Get your reflexes ready because there's an unwanted intruder in the kitchen! Bugs in the Kitchen isn't your average board game; it features a tiny HEXBUG® nano® robot that actually scurries across the board, bringing a dose of chaos and tech-filled fun to the table. The goal is simple but requires agility: you need to guide this electronic bug into the trap! How? By manipulating the kitchen utensils that make up the board. Using a die, you'll discover which items—like knives, forks, or spoons—you can turn to redirect the little intruder's path. Every time you successfully corner the bug in the trap, you earn a victory token. The first player to collect 5 tokens wins the game. It's a frenetic experience, perfect for gathering the family or kids for a quick, laughter-filled competition. Thanks to the variable setup, every game offers a different positioning challenge, ensuring the bug never follows the same obvious path. If you're looking for something that blends the physical world with electronics in a super dynamic way, you've found it!
