In 2010, the Familie&Co magazine published by Family Media and the DVSI (German Toy Industry Association) present their ninth annual “Das Goldene Schaukelpferd”, one of the most famous and coveted consumer awards for toys in Germany. Also Bibi Blocksberg Hexenkugel made by Schmidt Spiele is nominated.

This year, Bibi Blocksberg, Germany’s most famous witch celebrates her 30th birthday with a great “Hex-hex” party. The new activity game “Hexenkugel” guarantees cheerfulness and tumultuous play fun for up to five junior witches aged 5+! The racy game revolves around a handball sized acrylic glass ball that starts a random colourful spectacle by command. Cunningly, award-winning games designer Kai Haferkamp mixed a healthy dose of Musical Chairs into his "Hexenkugel": Each round a chip is removed from the table so that there is always one fewer chip than players and one comes away empty-handed – to the (sometimes malicious) joy of their fellow players... Hexenkugel is available for app. Euros 24.
