  • [icon-tikiBasket]Uncle George’s Lost Tiki Cocktail Recipe is an Escape-Room-In-A-Box style game. It is played on a tabletop at home, with no pressure and no time limit. There is only one instance of this game in the world.
  • [icon-tikiCocktail]Solving each sequential enigma opens containers of the next ingredient in a cocktail. Actual drinks are made as the game is played.
  • [icon-tikiOptions]Ingredients are included to make both mocktail (non-alcoholic) or cocktail versions (each participant's choice).
  • [icon-tikiHeartPerson]Collaborative team activity, no ‘turns,’ no list of rules. No losers, no 'hot-seat', no pressure. Essentially impossible to fail.
  • [icon-tikiTime]Game time: 45 - 90 minutes. Any given player will only want to play it once because after that the solutions to the puzzles are known.
  • [icon-tikiPlayers]Players: 1 - 6 recommended, although enough ingredients for 12 drinks are included when game is fully stocked. The intended audience is adults, although teens playing along with their families will have fun too.
  • [icon-tikiBanana]All the puzzles are tiki-themed and tactile.
  • [icon-tikiEasy]Fun, fairly easy enigmas, requiring medium concentration.
  • [icon-tikiLight]Escalating, complete hints provided, thus preventing being 'stuck'.
  • [icon-tikiNoCode]No code-based puzzles.
  • [icon-tikiNoPencil]No paper or pencil required.
  • [icon-tikiCoconut]Beautiful materials.
  • [icon-tikiNotShippable]Unfortunately, it's impractical to ship this game due to it's weight and alcohol contents.
  • [icon-tikiK8]This game was made by Kate Baldwin for her friends and family to play at their homes. The game is played non-destructively, and then passed to the next household to play. Once the ingredient levels dwindle from game play, Kate can refill it for unlimited future rounds.
