Oh man what fun! The best party games are those that are fast paced and involve everybody. Tip of the tongue is a game of trivia in which each person has only 2 seconds to answer the question. More often than not the questions are very easy although some are era specific so you'd have to be a baby boomer to know it.

Everyone takes turns being a questioner asking the trivia questions to the other players. As soon as the question is asked the questioner pushes a button and 2 seconds later the buzzer goes off. The fun is all in seeing whether or not you can quickly spout out the answer.

"A hard candy with a hole in the middle." "What color are the Simpsons?" "What is the Japanese currency?" These are just a few examples of what you may have. I only hope there are refills for the trivia cards because I'm sure we will run through these cards soon as fun as this game is.

Ten of us gathered together to celebrate a wedding anniversary. Someone brought a TIP OF THE TONGUE game. We had a blast playing it. It's simple to play. One person reads questions from a card, most of which have easy answers. But each player in turn has only 2 seconds to say the correct answer, or the electronic tongue gives the raspberry sound and that player doesn't score a point. The reader goes quickly from one player to the next, asking a new question of each until all have had one try. Then the person to the left is the new reader, and so on.

It's hysterically funny what goofy answers are blurted out in the 2 seconds, as people try to score. Also, it often seems that the other guy gets the easy question you know, and so on.

The game is supposed to be for 2 to 8 players, but 10 players was fine. We played 3 games of everyone being reader once, then it was time to eat. Great game for the whole family, down to about 8 or 10 years old.

We like trivia games. Most cost at least 20 dollars, but in this one you get 1000 questions for about 8 dollars, and the tongue really makes it fun!

It's fun and briefly addictive for some, though the game will not engross most players. Even though you only have two seconds to answer the question you'll find the questions so incredibly easy you're answering them before the question is done before the timer is even activated. They're very simple general knowledge questions, and that is the whole idea behind the game, which does give it a unique experience. Overall, though, it's a bit bland of a game after the initial kick you get out of it.

I got tip of the tounge and love it even though some questions are hard and my parents get more questions right than i do this game is really fun

I bought this game for a Toastmasters Charter party. We used it as our Tabletopics extreme. We modified the rules slightly to accommodate 8 people playing, This game was a blast! Wonderful game, and we had about 25-30 people at the party!!!

Tip of the Tongue is best played with at least four people, but the more the better because you'll find yourself yelling out the answers in order to beat the two second timer. If your answer is wrong, you've lost your chance to make a point and you can't give another answer during this round. The rest of the group will continue to hear the ten clues and figure out the answer to Who Am I, or What Am I, or Where Am I. I learned so much, and we've only had the game a week. Thanks again Amazon for this unique game.

I bought this game for my 13yo niece at our cottage up north. It was for her birthday. It is basically a two person game with one person reading questions and the game giving the other person 2 seconds to answer. It was so fun that other people kept calling out answers and trying to play too. She loved it.

Cute game that we played after dinner. The timer seemed to give too much time to answer, so we made our own rules. It is a trivia game but once through the entire deck both sides, the fun wanes.

This game was great to play, adults and kids can get into the fun! Very informative and lots of FUN!

I almost forgot I have this game, but I do. It's a fun harmless game good for game nights or family car trips, as long as the person driving doesn't read the questions (wink!).

Simple concept. Answer the question before getting the raspberry. You can go in turns and have others try to guess if the first person is wrong. Questions seems to be of average difficulty, like top to middle-of-the-board Jeopardy clues. Since you need to hear the razz, this game would not be good for noisy places. Other than that, a nice fun trivia game.

Fundex has other fun games, like One Word, Chairs and the new game Privacy. Check those out as well.
