SANTA CRUZ · LIVE · LIFE-SIZED
You are the game piece. Build a team, roll the dice, buy the block, race the clock—and come outside and play.
THE GAME
A real board is drawn through the neighborhood. Teams of six make decisions together while the app handles the money, dice, cards, and clock.
Bring friends, family, coworkers, classmates, or neighbors.
Roll in the app, then race to your square before time runs out.
A teammate must physically reach the property before you can buy it.
Collect rent. Draw Luck and Vault cards. Watch your back.
At 90 minutes, the team with the greatest total assets wins.
BUILT ON THE STREET
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.
“I felt like I was outside playing again for the first time in years.”
A REAL GAME-DAY RESCUE
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
No flyer. No big announcement. Just a flat-top griddle, neighbors stopping, people talking, and the street becoming a community again.
GIVING BACK
Every month, 33% of what You’ve Been Bamboozled® makes will be donated to charity, starting with CASA and children in foster care.
GEAR
Same artwork on both colors. Extra-large only—and it runs small.
Available at the game while supplies last.
