Quick answer

In Breakfast Blitz, players launch cereal pieces into the air and catch them in their mouths. The player who catches the most cereal after a set number of rounds wins.

Why this game works for family game night

Breakfast Blitz is a fast-paced, physical party game that gets everyone moving. Because it doesn't rely on reading or complex strategy, kids as young as 5 can play alongside adults. The only catch? You'll need a clean floor and a sense of humor — cereal pieces will fly.

The game is also portable: its compact box makes it a great travel game for car rides or hotel stays. Just remember to pack a small towel or mat to make cleanup easier.

What you need to play

The game comes with a launcher and cereal pieces (or you can use your own dry cereal). You'll also need a flat surface and enough space for players to stand without bumping into each other. No batteries or screens required.

How to play Breakfast Blitz: step-by-step rules

  1. Set up the game area: Place the launcher on a flat, open surface. Each player stands about 3–4 feet away (adjust for age). Make sure there's nothing breakable nearby. A common mistake is standing too close — cereal will bounce off faces instead of going into mouths.
  2. Load the launcher with cereal: Place one cereal piece on the launcher. Hold the launcher steady with one hand and pull back the firing mechanism with the other. Don't overload the launcher — one piece at a time keeps the game fair and reduces mess.
  3. Launch and catch: Release the firing mechanism to launch the cereal into the air. Try to catch it in your mouth. If you miss, the cereal lands on the floor (and doesn't count). Keep your mouth open wide and look up slightly — tilting your head back helps the cereal land in your mouth rather than on your chin.
  4. Score the round: After each launch, count how many cereal pieces you caught. The player with the most catches after a set number of rounds (usually 5–10) wins. Don't count cereal that bounces off your teeth or lips — only pieces that land fully in your mouth count.
  5. Handle ties and variations: If two players tie, play a sudden-death round: one launch each, highest catch wins. For younger kids, allow them to stand closer or use two hands to aim the launcher. Avoid making the distance too short for older kids — the challenge is part of the fun.
