About the game
It seems like just a jumbled grid of letters, but as you cover letters on the board, words begin to come into focus. But before you know it, the board tightens and suddenly words become harder and harder to spot...and you're running out of time! In Blind Spot, players place "spots" to cover letters and race the clock to reveal words. The game becomes more difficult as more spots are placed on the board, and players have to quickly and cleverly use their spots not only to find words, but also to block their opponents to be the last player standing! Blind Spot is an innovative word game with endless replayability, including rules for team and solo play! In this word game, it's what you don't see that you will help you win!

Questions and answers
Blind Spot supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Blind Spot is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Blind Spot for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Blind Spot has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
