About the game

Landmarks is a cooperative word game in which your party is lost in a jungle and relies on chains of one-word clues to guide them safely to treasure. Players craft strategic single-word hints that link together to form a path, with wordplay and lateral thinking rewarded. It supports a large group of up to ten players in a short 25-minute session. It's a clever, communication-limited party game built entirely around wordplay.

Hobbli's Notes

Landmarks nails that sweet spot of easy-to-teach and genuinely clever - the one-word clue chains produce great 'aha' moments and plenty of laughs when a link doesn't quite land. Supporting up to ten players cooperatively makes it a fantastic large-group icebreaker. It's light enough for casual game nights but has real wordplay depth for word-game fans.

What we like

  • Supports large groups of up to ten players cooperatively.
  • Quick 25-minute playtime keeps energy high.
  • Communication-limit twist sparks clever wordplay.
  • Easy to teach to mixed-age groups.

Keep in mind

  • Cooperative structure may lack tension for competitive players.
  • Relies heavily on players' verbal creativity, which can vary widely.
