Product Description

Pop Smarts is a sort of "anti-trivia" game for couch potatoes. It tests your knowledge of the hip (and not so hip) stuff you grew up with from movies, TV, music and more. Your categories are Movies, TV, Music, Books and Pop Pourri. Be the first to answer the question -- go ahead and shout it out! Comes with randomizer (like a spinner, but more fun), 30 plastic pegs, 200 cards, one wipe-off scorecard, a crayon and a funny instruction booklet. For added fun, everything comes packaged in a TV-shaped box. For 2 or more players.

This review is from: Pop Smarts Game (Toy)

This game must have just been released because I had never heard of it when I played it recently at a friend's party. Before finishing the game for the night, every guest at the party wanted his own copy! It's instantly addictive! The categories are broad enough that no matter what the topic - movies, music, tv, literature, sports, miscellaneous - everyone will be able to get involved. The game was perfect for someone with an attention span shorter than most commercials; there is no waiting your turn! Everyone can play at the same time.

I've never been great at Trivial Pursuit. I couldn't tell you the difference between Ohio and Iowa and I can't name more than a few Supreme Court justices, but I could name every actor who ever played James Bond, the Simpsons' home address, and all of Judy Blume's books, so this game was perfect for me and my friends.

A perfect gift for the pop culture freak in your life!

This review is from: Pop Smarts Game (Toy)

Remember who starred in a certain movie, can you identify a song from the lyrics? Think you know a lot about what's current and in style than you may very well be ready for the game called Pop Smarts.

The only real assembly in this game was the spinner and that took all about two minutes. After that reading the direction took another ten minutes, so in all I was playing in less than 15 minutes total. The directions are simple enough and this game seems appropriate for just about any age group.

The game provides hours of fun and a good competitive atmosphere for everyone involved. Making a great gift for any occasion or a great time for those get together with family or friends. Storage is easy and the overall a good value for the money - well done Endless Games.

This review is from: Pop Smarts Game (Toy)

I own dozens of games (over 100!), so when a friend gave me Pop Smarts as a gift, I was somewhat skeptical. But after we played it once, we were hooked. The hardest thing to find is a game that isn't just a rehash of a different game, but I'm happy to say that Pop Smarts is a complete original!

Here's what I love about this game: no down-time. Everybody plays at once, so there's no waiting around. Gameplay is fast and a lot of fun. It's as good as Outburst and -much- better than Cranium.

This one we'll play again and again. Great game!
