Goki Shut the Box Game

Crafted by Goki, this wooden Shut the Box Game combines timeless play with educational value. Measuring 13.5 cm x 8.7 cm x 2.7 cm, the compact design is ideal for home use or travel. The game includes two dice and features numbered tiles from 1 to 9, encouraging children aged 6+ to develop arithmetic skills through interactive play.

Players begin with all tiles open. By rolling the dice, they calculate the total and close tiles that match the sum. The goal is to “shut the box” by closing all numbers, promoting strategic thinking and mental maths proficiency. If players consecutively roll totals too low to close tiles, the lowest remaining total determines the winner.

Made from durable wood with smooth edges, this game prioritises safety and longevity. Its straightforward rules make it accessible for younger players while offering engaging challenges for the whole family. At Toytastic, we champion toys that blend learning with fun—this Goki classic fosters numeracy, critical thinking, and friendly competition.

Its a great way of learning to count by playing

Start the game with all tiles open, showing numbers 1 through 9

Each player takes a turn rolling the dice until numbers 7, 8 and 9 are covered

The player will then have the option of choosing to throw just one or both dice

After throwing, the player then calculates the total number of dots on the die or dice and shuts any combination of numbers that equal the total amount

The first player to shut all of the boxes is the winner

In the event that all players consecutively roll numbers too small to close a box, the player with the smallest total number wins
