About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a magical, solo adventure in Cinderella at Midnight! In this game, you'll use cards to build a dynamic maze, guiding Cinderella through her tasks before the clock strikes twelve. Start in the garden, where you need to find mice, catch lizards, and gather a pumpkin. But be watchful, as the chiming bells can disrupt your progress! Afterward, it's time to return to the Fairy Godmother and transform the scene. By flipping the cards, the maze changes, revealing the pumpkin carriage and the grand palace. There, new quests await: find the key, meet the prince, and, of course, leave the slipper behind. Time is of the essence, and with every chime of the clock, the maze shifts, making the escape from her stepfamily an ever-greater challenge. Can you help Cinderella get home before the magic fades? The game offers an engaging solo experience, where your strategic choices and a touch of luck shape the path. With a maze that changes every game, thanks to double-sided, hand-illustrated cards, replayability is guaranteed. Each playthrough is a new journey, filled with charming details that bring Cinderella's world to life.
