Start for freeWhat to Expect
Each player starts with six letter tiles face down. After revealing them simultaneously, players race to form crossword-like words by placing tiles. When a player uses all their letters, they call 'Mixmo' and draw two new tiles. The game continues until all face-down letters are used, creating a quick and interactive word-building experience.
Who Is This Game For?
Mixmo is aimed at word game and party game enthusiasts aged 8 and up. With a playtime of about 15 minutes, it’s a light family game requiring no prior experience, perfect for 2 to 6 players who enjoy fast-paced letter placement games.
How It Works
Players receive six hidden letter tiles from the central pile. After revealing them, all players simultaneously place tiles to form words in a crossword style (Tile Placement and Spelling).
