Crazy Visual Game Pix Mix

I got this game to help teach skills image differentiation and to help increase focusing. Well what we got was so much more. This fast paced game is just great. Fun for the whole family and can be modified to help include both young and older children.

Playing Pix Mix


This is a fast game so get your speedy hands ready.

Before you start the game, place 6 cards in all 4 envelopes and close. After each player has an envelope and score pad, it is time to go. turn the timer over and see if you can guess all 6 line objects before time runs out. When time runs out, pass the card to the next player and repeat until you have gone through all 4 envelopes. The player with the most correct guesses wins.

I know you are thinking this game sound really simple but it is far from it. Once I guesses a shovel and it really was a broom. Depending on how complex the combination of objects are, this game can really be tricky and so much fun. We usually end up laughing at some of the silly guess we took. 

Little Kids:


It is natural for our little ones to want to join in the fun. At times they just cannot but Pix Mix allows for great modification. For example my 2 year old nephew wanted to join in on the fun. Rather then saying no, we gave him an envelope with only 2 pictures and he had to guess. I would say it got it right about 75% of the time. Not bad for an adult game. As he gets more correct, I will be increasing the cards until he is ready to join us in the real game. 

Bottom Line:


As you can tell,  Pix Mix is so much fun. Fun and filled with education. A local speech therapist has used this for object differentiation and recognition. It is also good for figure ground separation and even abstract image recognition. The list goes on. Basically it is fun for education and at home use. An overall great holiday gift.
