Read the full game description
Spotlight is a cooperative real-time hidden-object game for children and families. A transparent scene board lies over a black background, and players move a magic flashlight beneath it to reveal tiny details and locate the round’s targets. The sand timer keeps everyone searching at once while individual pawns and the Moon advance according to the team’s success. Rush tokens offer limited help when time is slipping away. After five rounds, the players win together if every pawn reaches safety before the Moon.
