PinPoint is a board game released in 2022 for 2–99 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Brett Sobol and Seth Van Orden and its main mechanics are Cooperative Game, Team-Based Game, and Communication Limits.
PinPoint is a 3-in-1 party game in which you must make clever use of comparisons in order to win. Here are the three ways to play: 1-100: The recommended starting game mode. Using a comparison of two extremes, one player gives a clue to help others guess a specific number between 1 and 100. 1-10: The best game mode to get to know other people. Teams of two players answer questions on a scale of 1 to 10 and win by answering the most similarly. LEAST-MOST: The quickest game mode to learn. Vote which person or famous character is least/most likely to do something. Consistently pick the most popular answers to win. Contents include: 28 Number Cards, 54 PinPoint Cards, 80 Character Cards, 8 Dry Erase Boards, 3 Game Mode Rulebooks, 1 Game Overview, 8 Markers, 1 Die, 8 Player Tokens. —description from designer
PinPoint supports 2–99 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 PinPoint is 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 PinPoint 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.
PinPoint has a complexity rating of 1.0 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.
