About the game
A bizarre light brings your party to a parallel universe. You’ve all been turned into the form of special spirits! Now, your party must jump to the correct locations in this uncanny city in order to return home. Each member’s dreams will guide you to escape this world, but nightmares will try to trap you on this journey. It is not easy to communicate here because you can only send out “adjectives” and your team mates will signal back with hand gestures only. Can you find the way to get out of this universe before it is too late? A co-op where players work together to eliminate nightmares by asking yes or no questions and try to guess all the dreams to win the game. Lose or win as a team. All the illustrations are of different areas of Ho Chi Minh City through a lens of dreams.

Questions and answers
Dream Diary supports 3–6 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 Dream Diary is 20–30 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 Dream Diary 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.
Dream Diary has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
