Pakiaka is a fun and educational word game in te reo Māori which encourages players to challenge and improve their Māori vocab knowledge. Pakiaka is a game of speed - the aim is to finish your crossword grid first, but accuracy is just as important to ensure you get as many points as possible. There are extra challenges available, as well as play variations, to give players options depending on what type of game is desired. Pakiaka is a great whānau game where adults and tamariki can play together.
Pakiaka’s wooden tiles and printed game guide are carefully crafted to ensure durability and readability. The cotton drawstring bag and sturdy game box provide practical storage and transport, while the bilingual guide promotes accessibility and educational engagement.
