Thinkfun Shadows in the Forest game review!

Let's set the mood. Turn off the lights! You are deep in a dark, ancient forest with only your lantern to guide you. Tall, looming trees cast shadows all around. Off in the distance you hear a faint rustling sound and your heart begins to race. Could the legend be true? Will you finally discover the creatures who hide in the forest shadows?


Yep, totally true! I received an awesome game in the mail called Shadows in the Forest. It's a thrilling, immersive play experience that brings a distinctive twist to game night because get this, you play it in the dark! One player moves the LED lantern around in search of Shadowlings, mysterious creatures who avoid the light. The lantern illuminates the forest and trees, casting real shadows on the game board. The rest of the players work together, strategically moving their Shadowlings to stay out of the light.

My kids are games junkies. I wasn't totally sure they would get this game because they are 5 and just turned 8. The game is for 8+. They didn't seem to TOTALLY get the game but they do love it. It was easier for them to understand when I played with them and guided the game a little. They loved the fact that you play in the dark although they purposely sleep in brightly lit rooms. Kids can be so ironic. They love playing this game in like a hide and seek type of way too. We totally recommend this game. It's really fun! It's $24.99 and you can scoop it up right here- https://www.target.com/p/thinkfun-shadows-in-the-forest-board-game/-/A-53256365
