Adults and kids will enjoy this fast-paced electronic category game. As the clock ticks down, players compete to come up with words that start with specified letters in 170+ different categories, such as: "Name something found at a picnic, letter A" or "Name a snack, letter P," and so on. This sounds easy, but it's amazing how tongue-tied you can get when the pressure is on. There is relief in sight, however. You can press a button to change the category or the letter, and try again, but it costs you in time - and players each only have a total of 60 seconds in their bank. We've played this game with as many as 8 adults, and the competition was high. It was also great with adult/child teams. Have fun!

The game, Freeze Up Game" is lots of fun for young teens throug the oldest adult. Little kids may find it a little too fast paced. For the little ones in our family, we let the game ask the question - then hit the "Stop" button and give them plenty of time to think of a word. This way everyone can enjoy the game.

Freeze Up is a truly imaginative, very versatile and endlessly fascinating team game that works with older children and adults alike. My wife and I have played it in the corner of restaurants, at the beach, and even in the car. The recorded voices and funny sound gimmicks add unique and humorous touches, especially when playing as two or even four person arrangements. The game is compact, never boring, and tests our imagination and strategic thinking all at once. Reasonably priced and makes for a very nice gift, whether for holidays, birthdays, or thank you gifts. Go buy it and have a ball.

BUYER BEWARE...before you stick the money into it, maybe look at another option. I look at how the price has fluctuated on this item and it kinda makes me sick. When it arrived, boy I questioned whether or not it was used and repackaged. It looked ify, and then my daughter opened it tonight and it looks like it was used. Everytime you pass the game to the next player it sounds like BB's are rattling around in it (VERY annoying). The sound quality is pretty good, and it does require you to do some quick thinking which is good brain exercise. My son beat me at it twice, but I would have liked to have a much better quality product than a 2nd hand game for what I paid--almost $35. I was sold on this game because of the good reviews, but I am being honest here, so if you are considering it, perhaps put the money towards a new Wii game or something of that nature. Not happy and feel like I've flushed the money down the drain. If it were to be priced logically, it should go for about $14.99.

My doctor recommended this toy as therapy for exercising the mind. At 83 years of age I have tendencies to forget things (natural for my age) and this really helps me keep my mind active. I use the Freeze Up and the lighted Rubik's Cube and the combination of the two have improved my thinking and memory so very much. It is not just a toy, but a challenge for the mind at remembering things.

We bought this for my grandkids and they LOVE it! We have a lot of fun playing, and as other reviewers stated, even for younger children, its great. We halt the timer, and this allows even the little ones to play. Its been great for our 5 year old granddaughter to work on her "beginning sounds".

Our family, young and old alike, has had many hours of rib tickling FUN with Freeze Up. Not only did the answers make everyone laugh, but also the challenges and controversies. We bring Freeze Up to all family gatherings. Lots of FUN!

This is a great game! We have used it as a party game (for adults) and taken it on road trips or when we think we might have to wait somewhere. It's entertaining for all ages, the manual setting and "stop" button are great if you're playing with little kids who need more time to think of answers. Kind of like Tip of the Tongue.

The freeze up game although showing a fair amount of good reviews is actually a piece of tacky garbage. Do not waste your money. Just one more product that fails because retailers just do not care.
I bought this one for my grandchildren and we did not get to use it even once because it is shabby construction. What a shame.

This is a great challenging game. Our 4th grader is enjoying it and learning, too ;-) always a bonus!
