The Getting Lost Game
The real world travel adventure game played around the world
The Getting Lost Game is here to change the way you adventure!
We’ve become really predictable in how we adventure – we’re all lead by the same searches, blogs and feeds – not to mention GPS. So we reckon it’s about time we got lost on purpose!
The Getting Lost Game helps you find the real hidden gems – the ones you won’t find in the guide books or in search – and supports those small businesses along the way.
Our games are card games designed to be played in the real world. They have directions and activities on each card (depending on which pack you choose). There are directions like turn left, turn right, head in the direction the wind is blowing, follow a blue car). They have a mix of chance and direction cards that mean even if you started playing from the same spot each time, you would end up somewhere new. The directions are purposefully generic which means that the game can be played anywhere around the world.
It’s purposefully offline and you can choose a cute plant based plastic suitcase so an adventure is always close at hand.
It’s a way to switch off the technology and get back to exploring the way we used to do. We recommend you start out with our Adventurers Edition or if you are heading away with the girls check out The Girls Road Trip Edition. Both of these games have everything you need to start adventuring and exploring in a more spontaneous, unscripted way. From there you can add on booster packs like our Summer Pack. Can’t wait for shipping? We have and option for that too with our Print at Home Edition.
The Getting Lost Game is a Kiwi Invention and is proudly made in New Zealand. In 2021 we started sending our games out to the world with thousands of people around in Australia and the United States (and more spots too) now getting lost too – how awesome is that!
“In a time where plans change, we have a way to make that a great thing and enjoy a game of getting lost. Plans can box us in, learning to enjoy the unplanned is exactly what our family needs and getting lost is the perfect teacher.”
You can also supercharge your game with our special editions like our Winter Edition or our Out of Town Edition. Sick of doing the same thing on Date Night? We’ve got a game for that too! Want to treat Mum or Dad – yep, a game for that too!
Joining us from across the ditch? We have a special Aussie Edition now available. Or if you are learning Te Reo Maori you can try our bilingual Te Reo Maori Edition.
The Getting Lost Game is here to change all that!
It’s a unique travel game, created right here in NZ, that chucks out the notion of planning our adventures and instead leaves it all up to chance with random direction based cards that work anywhere you are.
The Getting Lost Game helps you find the real hidden gems – the ones you won’t find in the guide books or in search – and supports those small businesses along the way. It’s a great way to see more of the country (or even just your own backyard).

” Fantastic Game! We took this on our family holiday to a place we weren’t familiar with. We loved discovering new places and having a laugh along the way. Every family should have one”
