“The game that gives you a FUNNY FEELING!”
Published by Milton Bradley in 1967, Feeley Meeley was a party game that challenged players to identify hidden objects using only their sense of touch.
The object of the game was to collect more objects than the other players.
GAMEPLAY
To begin, the plastic objects were placed inside the grab box, a cardboard container with hand openings on all four sides. Picture cards matching each object were shuffled and placed face down on top of the box.
On each turn, a card was revealed, and all players simultaneously reached into the box to search for the matching object. Because the contents were not visible, players relied entirely on touch to identify the correct item. Once a player believed they had found the object, it was removed from the box and checked against the card.
If the selected object matched the card, the player kept both the object and the card. An incorrect guess eliminated that player from the remainder of the round. Play continued until all objects had been claimed, with the winner determined by the largest collection.
IN THE BOX
A complete game included the grab box, 24 plastic objects, and 24 matching picture cards. The objects included animals, household items, eating utensils, game pieces, and other familiar shapes. Printed instructions were included with the game.
Although Feeley Meeley is no longer in production, the game has remained visible in popular culture. Fans of The Conjuring horror franchise may recognize it as one of the artifacts in the Warren collection featured in Annabelle Comes Home (2019).
COLLECTOR CONSIDERATIONS
Feeley Meeley can be found on the secondary market in varying conditions. Collectors should look for examples containing all 24 plastic objects and matching picture cards, as these small components are easily lost over time.
