It seems like just a jumbled grid of letters, but as you cover letters on the board, words begin to come into focus. But before you know it, the board tightens and suddenly words become harder and harder to spot...and you're running out of time! In Blind Spot, players place "spots" to cover letters and race the clock to reveal words. The game becomes more difficult as more spots are placed on the board, and players have to quickly and cleverly use their spots not only to find words, but also to block their opponents to be the last player standing! Blind Spot is an innovative word game with endless replayability, including rules for team and solo play! In this word game, it's what you don't see that you will help you win!
