About this board game

Quirky Circuits: Penny & Gizmo’s Snow Day! is a cooperative programming game for 2–4 players that takes about 30 minutes to play. Work together to guide lovable robots through a series of quirky snow-day scenarios before their batteries run out.

Each player contributes to the team’s plan using movement cards to program a robot across its map. However, players have only limited information about which cards their teammates have played, so creating the right sequence requires communication, cooperation, and careful planning.

Every scenario presents a different task, with challenges growing quirkier throughout the game’s 20-page book. Help Gizmo chase naughty dust bunnies around the house, or guide Penny, the newest resident robot in Robotopia, as she slides into action to collect every flag.

  • Cooperative play for 2–4 players
  • Approximately 30 minutes per game
  • A 20-page book of unique scenarios
  • Movement-card programming with limited information
  • Robot actions shaped by teamwork and timing

Successful programming is all about predicting how the robot will move. Choose the wrong cards and your robot might be left spinning its wheels in a corner; move too slowly and its battery may run out before the task is complete.

With its approachable premise and family-friendly cooperative play, Quirky Circuits: Penny & Gizmo’s Snow Day! turns simple movement instructions into a lively group puzzle. Discuss your options, coordinate your plans, and help Penny and Gizmo make the most of their snow day.
