About the game
Get ready to play hide and seek with monsters — but they won't just stay where they were. They will appear here and there in the blink of an eye, so you might need to use candies to attract them and catch them! Monster Hide and Seek is a memory game that uses double-sided monster cards to trick your memory. On your turn, flip any two monster cards. If the flip sides match, you win the cards. If they don't, simply put them down WITHOUT flipping them back. Do you remember what's on the other side of these two cards? Don't let your memory fail you!

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 Monster Hide and Seek is 15–25 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 Monster Hide and Seek for ages 4 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.
Monster Hide and Seek has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
