Description
The Deathly Hallows are hidden somewhere in the room. Harry Potter: The Search for the Deathly Hallows is a seeking game for the whole family: one player is the Seeker, and the others guide them to the hidden cards with clues. You have to think and talk as fast as you can, because the deck of clue cards travels between the players and comes back when you least expect it.
How to play Harry Potter: The Search for the Deathly Hallows
The Seeker leaves the room, and each of the other players hides their Deathly Hallow card while the rest watch. When the Seeker returns, the players take turns picking up the deck of clue cards, turning over a new card and quickly giving the clue that card asks for. You can tell the Seeker whether they are near or far, whether to look higher or lower, or what kind of object is close to the Hallow, for example heavy, light, small or precious. As soon as you stop talking, you pass the deck on.
If the Seeker finds a Hallow during your clue, you are out and become a ghost. Ghosts may not speak, but they can help the Seeker by moaning or knocking. When only one player is left, they guide the Seeker to the last Hallow with eight clues. If the Seeker finds it, they both win.
