About the game

What you do in a play session

Grab your wizard hat, because the Magic Academy is in total chaos! In Pixie Time, you and your friends aren't just students; you're the last line of defense against mischievous pixies causing mayhem in the school hallways. The goal is simple, but the execution is frantic: you must navigate a shifting network of catacomb tiles to capture all the creatures before the hourglass runs out. But it's not just about running; to catch a pixie, the whole group must act in sync, performing coordinated gestures like clapping, snapping, or cheering together. It's the kind of game that makes everyone laugh and sweat at the same time!

The real highlight is the campaign system. This isn't just a one-off session; it features a six-challenge campaign that feels like a series of magical exams. As you progress, the difficulty ramps up, introducing new rules, obstacles, and portals to test your group's limits. It's a pure cooperative experience where route planning and rapid communication are vital. If you aren't in sync, time will slip away and the pixies will win. It's fast, vibrant, and perfect for those seeking a dose of magical adrenaline in just a few minutes. If you love dynamic games with fantasy themes and physical interaction, Pixie Time is your next adventure!
