A game in five moments
What happens at the table
Not the rules. The experience.
The tin opens, wherever you are
A delayed train, a queue at the restaurant, an umbrella on the beach. Open the magnetic tin, agree on a word to guess, and suddenly that downtime has become a challenge.
The first letter, the first thrill
The guesser tries a vowel. Is it there? It's written in the right place. Is it not? The first piece of the hangman appears. The path to salvation — or to hanging — has just begun.
The pieces accumulate
A wrong consonant, then another. The magnetic hangman takes shape piece by piece. The word remains a half-mystery, and every letter proposed now weighs double.
The decisive intuition
A couple of letters and just one piece are missing from the complete hangman. Your gaze darts between the empty spaces. You have an idea of the word — but do you dare to propose it, or do you try another safe letter?
Word guessed, hangman saved
The word is completed just in time. Everything is erased with a wipe, the magnetic pieces are put away, and roles are swapped. The rematch starts instantly.
How to play
The game in four steps
The rules everyone knows from childhood, in a package that makes them practical to take anywhere.
One player thinks of a word and marks a space for each letter on the tin, without revealing them. The other player must guess it.
The guesser suggests one letter at a time. If it's in the word, it's written in the correct spaces; otherwise, the game continues.
Every wrong letter adds a magnetic piece to the hangman. There are 8 pieces: 8 mistakes and the game is lost.
Complete the word before the hangman is finished and you win. Then everything is erased and roles are swapped.

How it ends
Save the hangman or complete the hangman
The outcome of each round is a race against the 8 pieces: each correct letter brings victory closer, each mistake adds a piece towards defeat.
Victory
- Guess the complete word before the hangman is finished
- Carefully choose letters, starting with the most frequent ones
- Use the already filled spaces to deduce the word quickly
Defeat
- The 8 hangman pieces are completed before guessing the word
- Too many wrong letters suggested one after another
- A hasty attempt at the whole word that turns out to be wrong
The timeless classic in travel size. The Hangman Magnetic Line turns every wait into a challenge — and makes you want to play again immediately.
