Getting Lost - change the way you adventure! Collection

The Getting Lost Game is a Kiwi Invention and is proudly made in New Zealand.

In 2021 they started sending 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!

The 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 a way to switch off the technology and get back to exploring the way we used to do.

Adventurers Edition - It contains 26 “misdirection cards” which give you random directions to (things like turn left, follow a blue car, head in the direction the wind is blowing) to get you being mindfully random in your exploration.

Girls Road Trip Edition - The Getting Lost Girls Road Trip Edition requires no planning at all.  Just grab your favourite group of girls, jump in the car, shuffle the cards and start drawing the cards to find out where you’ll end up and where you’ll stop on the way.

Your distance will be determined by who you have in the car and how many exes, sisters or kids they have, plus a selection of random directions we’ll throw at you. You’ll be stopping to go down slides, buying each other a random outfit at a thrift shop that you have to wear the whole day and choosing where you stop for a drink by the colour of the top the driver is wearing.  You’ll have laughed, eaten, drunk and had that kind of fun that only happens on the best of girls trips.  Even who shouts the next round of drinks or dinner will be decided by the cards.

Road Trip Edition - The 26 card Road Trip Edition has everything you need for an unforgettable all ages road trip. Your course will be decided by dandelions, winners of running races, other cars, your odometer and other random directions. We’ll have you stopping along the way to support local businesses, forming roadside conga lines and having loads of fun.

Our Girls Road Trip Edition is one of our most popular games and we are often asked for an all ages version (and one for including the boys too) so this is it!



Camper Edition - Have a laugh and discover new places in your Camper, Van, House Truck, RV, Caravan or other house on wheels.   The directions are generic so they can be played in what ever country you are in around the world.

Your direction, distance and stops will be based on the way the wind is blowing, the age of your passengers, waves you get, signs, road-kill, cars that pass you, your odometer and a whole bunch of other random things.  Keep going until you get the “stop for the night in the next freedom camping or campground you see” card.

Out of Town Edition - The Out of Town Edition is designed as an add on to an existing Getting Lost Game but could be used as a very short version of the game as a stand alone or added to a Booster Pack for a full game.  They recommend for maximum adventure though you use it as a booster.

Our other games have generic misdirections that are easily transportable to where ever you are in the world.  The Out of Town Edition is the most “Kiwi” of all the misdirection cards so if you are playing outside of NZ you will need to adapt a few cards for your local area with some local features like Tip Top Dairies (a well known ice cream brand in NZ) and Pukeko’s (a large, blue-purplish, wetland-dwelling bird spotted often in NZ).

The Dog's Edition - Un-plan your next walk with your pup.  Grab this pack, get a lead, follow the directions and change up your dog walk.

The 15 card Dog’s Edition is designed to add a little bit of spontaneous fun to your next walk with your favourite pooch.

Shuffle the cards and let them lead you.  There are directions that leave your pup totally in charge – turning left with a wag, right with a woof or deciding the direction by which treat he picks or how he responds when you hold out your hand.  They've also reimagined some of their favourite directions from the Adventurers Edition – follow a blue car becomes follow a brown dog.  Stop for a treat is now stop at the next cafe with a dog bowl outside.  And Head for Home (everyone’s least favourite card) is updated to head for home after the next poop!

Designed as a walking game the Dog’s Edition is a stand alone game that you can take out on any dog walk – or match it up with one of our other games for a car adventure too!

Walkers Edition - these additional 10 misdirection cards are perfect for people on foot or those wanting to add to another set to extend play.

The idea for the booster packs came from purchasers of the Getting Lost Game.  The 10 cards are all pure directions (left, right, north, south and the like).  The feedback was that a couple of the cards aren’t the best for walkers (like follow a blue car – you have to be really fast!).  And some people said they wanted to play for longer.  And some of you just really like the direction cards. So this was designed this just for you!

The booster pack is designed as an add on to an existing Getting Lost Game but could be used as a very short version of the game as a stand alone.  We recommend for maximum adventure though you use it as a booster.  

This pack was formerly known as The Booster Pack.
