Game Of The Year Award Winner
The hit party game for family and friends who are into kittens and explosions and laser beams and sometimes goats.

Beat the Parents brings kids together with their parents to go head-to-head in a fun-filled family trivia game.
Prove who’s the boss in the game where the adults answer questions about kids’ stuff, and the kids answer questions their parents should really know.
The first team to get both movers across the board to the other side’s start spaces wins the game!
Play bingo with a menacing mummy, a bowler-hat wearing yeti, a multi-eyed monster, and many more creepy creatures in this fun and inventive take on the classic game… if you dare.
Easy to play and full of strange and colorful characters, Scary Bingo will engage and delight children for hours.
It can be played with 3–7 people, making it the perfect game for families in need of spookily good entertainment.
In Word Slam, two teams each have a storyteller. The two storytellers are given the same answer term.
Playing at the same time, they must give clues to their teams so the teams can correctly guess the answer. And they must do this quickly, because they are racing the timer and each other.
But it’s not that easy. Speaking and acting is absolutely forbidden for the storytellers! They must tell their stories using only 105 cards, each with one word on it- a noun, verb, adjective, or preposition.
It’s like charades, but instead of acting, you can only communicate with word cards!
This award-winning ‘teetering, wobbling, shifting, tipping, unbalanced, balance game’ is a must-have for family game night!
Take turns hanging the notched, rubber-tipped wire pieces from the tabletop stand.
With each added piece, the balance shifts and the sculpture transforms. But watch out! One wrong move could send it all crashing down!
Suited for 1-4 players, this game is guaranteed to appeal to kids and grownups alike!
Divide yourselves up in teams, or play one on one, ask up to 10 questions to guess the animal on the Game Card!
Is it a carnivore? Is it a domestic animal? Does it live in groups?
Think hard, ask intelligent questions and the be the first player to win 7 Game Cards!
It should be easy to name 3 breeds of dogs—but can you do it under the pressure of 5 seconds twisting down, and with the other players staring at you, waiting for you to get flustered?
Time’s not on your side, so just say what comes to mind and risk ridiculous answers slipping out as time twirls down on the unique twisted timer!
It’s all in good fun with this fast-paced game where you have to Just Spit it Out!
Oh Snap! is a family board game of dueling decision-making that requires the hunger of a lion and the hands of a ninja brain surgeon!
Make enough right choices and you will be crowned the snap grand master. Make the wrong moves and SNAP! the board will speak – and the board makes no apologies!
A new twist on the bestselling Listography journal series (over a million copies sold!), this game invites players to create and share lists based on fun and thought-provoking topics –from geography and pop culture to toothpaste and constellations!
With the goal of being the first around the game board, players score points according to the number of similar or unique answers.
Every round in the game results in creative thinking, surprise outcomes, and lots of laughs. Small and compact for travel and to take to dinner parties!
Creative Child Magazine: GAME OF THE YEAR Award 2016!
Pick a card, read it out loud, and then quickly write down 2 answers you think other players will also write.
Laugh or cry as you discover whether you were able to match any answers with other players.
Find out whose mind is in sync with yours. It may not be who you expect!
Team charades played in reverse! Charades is more fun when everyone gets into the action.
Without talking, the entire team works together to act out words for one or more team members to guess.Â
I love the idea of the Beat the Parents one! These all look so fun!
Best,
Diana
