FroGames — Moments You'll Remember
Every tile revealed is an opportunity. Every item collected is a memory. And in the end, when you compare selfies, you realize the park was just an excuse to spend the afternoon together.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
An afternoon at the park with Sanrio's most iconic friends
Designed by Roberta Taylor and published by Maestro Media in 2024, Hello Kitty: Day at the Park brings the colorful Sanrio universe to the table. It's not just another children's game disguised as a licensed product: there's an individual difficulty system that allows each player to choose their own challenge level, even during the game.
You impersonate Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi and other characters as you explore a park built tile by tile. Collect items, complete adventures, and document everything with selfies. The player who accumulates the most points from their adventures wins, but the real goal is to enjoy the stroll together.
What they say abroad
An intelligent family game that grows with the players, leaving no one behind.
— FroGames
The customizable difficulty is a brilliant solution for playing with different ages at the same table.

Hello Kitty: Day at the Park
FrogScore · editorial rating FroGames · based on rules, international reviews and play sessionsWhat you'll find in the park
The elements that make up your day
Park tiles
Each turn you reveal a new section of the park: lawns, paths, fountains, play areas. The park is built piece by piece, and each tile opens up new possibilities for movement and collection.
Items
Balloons, ice creams, books, flowers. You collect them by moving on the tiles, and they are used to complete your adventures. Each character can carry a limited number, so choose carefully.
Adventure cards
Small missions to complete: "Have a picnic with three friends", "Collect five colorful flowers". Each completed adventure is worth points, and in the end, you document them with a souvenir selfie.
Selfies
When you complete an adventure, you take a symbolic selfie: it's the way to record your points and build your collection of memories from the day at the park.
In an hour you'll look at the map you built together and wonder: is it the park we explored, or is it our afternoon that we designed?

A game in five moments
What happens at the table
Not the rules. The experience.
The park is empty
Place the characters on the starting tile and look at the empty space around you. Each player chooses their own difficulty level: younger children can start with the basic rules, while older players can add extra challenges. And the great thing is that you can even change it during the game.
The park takes shape
Place the first tiles and the park begins to exist. There's a pond here, a swing set there, a flowery meadow further on. Move your character to the areas you need, collect the first items. The other players do the same, and sometimes you brush past each other on the same tiles.
Everyone wants ice cream
Someone reveals a tile with an ice cream. Two characters rush to the same area. There's no violent conflict, but there is gentle competition: whoever gets there first takes the item, whoever arrives later has to change their plan. The adventures begin to be completed.
The final rush
The tiles run out. The park is almost complete, and everyone is trying to finish one last adventure before closing time. Someone changes difficulty on the fly to unlock one last mission. A child who was playing in easy mode decides to try the intermediate mode for the last turn. This is the moment you'll remember.
The park at sunset
Last tile placed. Everyone counts the points from completed adventures and collected selfies. There's a winner, but no one seems too concerned: look at the park you built together, and someone immediately asks, "Can we do it again?"
How to play
The flow of each turn
A turn is fast: draw, place, move, collect. And then the next player.
Take a tile from the deck and add it to the park, connecting it to the existing ones. Each tile shows paths, green areas, and items to collect.
Spend your movement points to move your character around the park. You can cross tiles by following the paths or, if you've chosen advanced difficulty, by respecting more complex movement rules.
If you end your movement on a tile with items, you collect them (within your backpack limit). When you have all the necessary items for an adventure, you complete it and take a symbolic selfie.
If you wish, change your difficulty level before the next turn. You can make it easier or harder at any time: the game adapts to you.
Why it's different from others
Six features that make a difference
Individual scalable difficulty
Each player chooses their own challenge level, and can even change it during the game. An adult can play in advanced mode while a child uses simplified rules. There's no need to separate players by age: the game adapts to everyone simultaneously.
Modular park
There's no fixed map: each game builds a different park through tile placement. Paths intertwine, areas connect in unexpected ways, and no park is ever the same as the last.
Combinable adventures
Adventure cards require different combinations of items: some are simple ("Collect three flowers"), others more complex. You can focus on a few ambitious adventures or complete many small ones. Every strategy is valid.
Backpack management
You have limited space to carry items, so you must choose what to collect and what to leave behind. This introduces tactical decisions even in the simplest mode, without overcomplicating the game.
Selfie system
Selfies are not just a thematic whim: they are how you document your successes. Every completed adventure becomes a selfie, and in the end, your collection tells the story of your day at the park.
Iconic characters
Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, and the other Sanrio characters are not just pawns: each has slightly different characteristics that influence strategies. Children choose their favorite, then discover that playing with different characters changes the approach.
How it ends
How to win
The game ends when all the park tiles have been placed. At that point, points are counted.
Victory
- The player with the most points from completed adventures wins
- Selfies document adventures: each selfie is worth the points indicated on the adventure card
- In case of a tie, the player who completed more total adventures wins
Unfavorable situations
- If you can't collect the right items, you don't complete adventures and don't earn points
- If other players get to the tiles with rare items before you, they remain unavailable
- If you choose a difficulty too high for your level, you risk not completing any significant adventures
A family game that grows with its players, without forcing anyone to play outside their comfort zone. Rare.
Frequently asked questions
FAQ about Hello Kitty: Day at the Park
At what age can a child really start playing?
The box says 8+, but with the minimum difficulty, you can try it at 6 years old. The basic rules are: place tile, move character, collect item. Nothing complex. If the child can play a memory game or a Snakes and Ladders game with choices, they can play this. And as they grow, the game grows with them.
How important is it to know Hello Kitty and Sanrio characters?
Zero. The characters are recognizable and cute, but the game works even if you don't know who Kuromi is. The mechanics are solid regardless of the license: tile placement, item collection, and adventures to complete stand on their own. Sanrio fans will find a bonus, others a good family game.
How does scalable difficulty really work?
Each player chooses between three levels: basic (free movement, simple adventures), intermediate (some movement restrictions, more complex adventures), advanced (precise movement rules, difficult adventures worth more points). You can change it between turns. This way, an experienced parent can play in advanced mode while their 8-year-old child stays in basic, without imbalances.
How long does a game really last?
With young children or in the first game: 25-30 minutes. With players who know the game and play at intermediate/advanced difficulty: 40-45 minutes. The time largely depends on how much analysis paralysis the players experience. Children tend to play instinctively and finish faster.
Is it available in Italian?
No, this Maestro Media edition is in English. The text is present on the adventure cards and in the rules, but once the setup is understood, the game is very visual: items are recognized by icons, tiles clearly show paths and areas. With a translated reference sheet (easy to make), it's perfectly playable even without English.
Hello Kitty: Day at the Park is a tile-placement family game for 2-4 players aged 8 and up, with games lasting 25 to 45 minutes. Designed by Roberta Taylor and published by Maestro Media in 2024, it introduces an individual scalable difficulty system that allows players of different ages and experience levels to play together without imbalances. Each player explores a park built with modular tiles, collects items, and completes adventures, documenting them with symbolic selfies. Characters include Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Kuromi. English edition available on FroGames.it.
