The headset consists of two headbands, 3 poles and 2 connectors. To be honest the connectors don’t always fit into the poles very well. We decided not to force them to fit snugly as you need to adjust the number of poles used with each round. And the head set worked fine with them only half pushed in.

How To Play

The aim of the game is to be able to stare into your opponent without blinking. The player that blinks first loses that round.

A minimum of three people is required. One person acts as a referee whilst the other two players play three rounds with the winner being the person who has won the most rounds.

The referee is responsible for keeping an eye on the blinking and has to shout ‘Blinker’ and hand out the red card whenever an eye dares to blink. The first round starts with all three rods separating players and with each round a rod is removed which brings players closer together!

Stare Off Being Played With Only One Rod

Players also get to pick a random distraction card that they can only play once during any of the three rounds. I’m not sure who the distraction card helps to be honest but it adds a lot of silliness and fun to the game!

Distraction Cards

If you have lots of players you play a “stare-off” tournament, by drawing names out of a hat to decide who plays against whom. After the first round, the names of the losers are discarded and the winner’s names are redrawn to see who they will play off against. This is repeated until there is only one winner.

My top tips with this game is to have lots of cushions handy so that shorter team members can be boosed up level with the taller players as the headset works better when it’s level.

The World Series Stare Off Official Game is for serious stare off players. Do you have what it takes to win the tournament!? It’s great fun and can get very competitive so make sure your ref plays fairly!
