YOU’VE BEEN BAMBOOZLED®

BUILT FOR NEIGHBORHOODS EVERYWHERE

The whole neighborhood is the board.

You are the game piece. Build a team, roll the dice, buy the block, race the clock—and come outside and play.

THE GAME

Walk it. Run it. Own it.

A real board is drawn through the neighborhood. Teams of six make decisions together while the app handles the money, dice, cards, and clock.

01

Build your team

Bring friends, family, coworkers, classmates, or neighbors.

02

Roll and move

Roll in the app, then race to your square before time runs out.

03

Buy the block

A teammate must physically reach the property before you can buy it.

04

Survive

Collect rent. Draw Luck and Vault cards. Watch your back.

At 90 minutes, the team with the greatest total assets wins.

YOUR PEOPLE. YOUR PLACES. YOUR GAME.

Your board. Your cards. Your language. Your currency.

Bring your artists. We’ll bring our team. Together, we’ll help you build the game of your dreams—for your neighborhood, company, school, business, or community.

Your board and cards are customized around the places, people, experiences, and perspectives that matter to your group. Your streets, local businesses, landmarks, campus, or workplace shape the game. Even the next neighborhood over in Santa Cruz would have its own board and cards—because every community sees and experiences the world differently.

You’ve Been Bamboozled® is meant to be played anywhere in the world—with your language, your currency, your own board, and cards made relevant to you. Wherever you are, the game should feel like yours.

BUILT ON THE STREET

This isn’t an idea waiting to happen.

It happened. People played. Neighbors met. Friendships started. Then people stayed for the barbecue.

Each square stretches about 25½ feet. Volunteers, artists, children, announcers, players, and people wandering over all become part of it.

A REAL GAME-DAY RESCUE

Lulu, the 30-pound tortoise

Players found Lulu during a game. Lisa knew where she belonged because of the neighborhood connection created through the game. Lulu’s people picked her up safely.

THE GAME KEPT GOING

Then breakfast showed up on the sidewalk.

No flyer. No big announcement. Just a flat-top griddle, neighbors stopping, people talking, and the street becoming a community again.

Every month, 33% of what You’ve Been Bamboozled® makes will be donated to charity, starting with CASA and children in foster care.

WINTER UPDATE

We’re working on what’s next.

No game is currently scheduled.

We’re spending the winter developing the app and adding more features.

Outdoor games are on hold for winter—unless we get a beautiful, sunny, hot day to come outside and play.

OPEN THE APP

Staying inside is punishment.

Come on out and play.
