Description

This cool rythm and move game wakes your inner musician. You'll drum, beat, whistle and clap. In an accurate way you'll train train your rhythmic sense and reaction.

If you can't keep the beat or you make a mistake? Then you're out. It takes just one mistake to be kicked out of the 'band'. So you better keep the beat, if you want to win.

Offbeat is fun an a challenge for the entire family - or for the class room! It's a party game were you can rhythmically beat the drum.

additional comment
The game comes with a spinner with six holding spaces for counters. There are 6 types of counters: beat (1 hand), beat (2 hands), clap, silence (pause), finger snap and shouting "Olé". Six counters are randomly inserted. The spinner decides where to start the cycle. So 1 cycle could be beat(1)-beat(1)-"Olé"-snap-beat(2)-beat(1)-clap.
All the players together now have to perform this. When 1 makes a mistake or doesn't keep the beat with the rest, he's out. The rest continues till 1 is left. He chooses 1 counter, removes it and replaces it with a random new one.
Game ends when 1 player has collected 6 counters.

Players should use the box as drum. The box even comes with a drum snare mounted in the lid.
