Product Description

From the Manufacturer

MYSTIFY is a fast-paced party game that gets players racing against each other to solve word and number scrambles in a variety of fun card categories. During each round, the one minute timer is turned and the fun begins. One player reads out the scrambled letters or numbers and then all other players scribble away frantically to solve the scramble. Quick, the clue is a famous comedic actor, the letters are: SCYBO. Could that be BILL COSBY - you've got it. In the next round the clue is: In what year did the dodo become extinct? - and the scrambled numbers are 0861. If you answered the year 1680 first you win the round. Other clues include hints such as a popular musician, well-known politician, place, country, object, date, and much more. Anyone can blurt out a guess at anytime, but be sure you're right because you only get one guess. Guess right first and move forward. Includes 1000 scrambles on 200 cards, game board, sand timer, playing pawns, pencils and instruction sheet.

This review is from: MYSTIFY Word Scramble Board Game (Toy)

We played Mystify at our recent game night with friends and family. Here is the scoop. Mystify is a game based around word and number scrambles. The object of the game is to be the first to solve the word or number scramble. There are 5 different card categories and for each category hints are given as to what the scramble might be. For instance, hints might be - Literary Figure; Popular First Name; Brand Name Product; Popular 70's Movie; Living Creature; Part of a human body, etc. The card reader reads out the letters or numbers (which are scrambled) and players race against each other to solve the scramble. Whoever blurts out the answer first wins the round and is able to advance on the board. The great thing about this game is that everyone plays every round. This keeps all players interested and with a vested interest in paying attention at all times. Since everyone plays at the same time this is a fantastic party game. You really can't go wrong if you want an all inclusive game to play at your game nights!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Party Game - Everyone Plays Every Round!, April 21, 2000

This review is from: MYSTIFY Word Scramble Board Game (Toy)

This is a fantastic party game. With so many different card categories and some many questions, we play it time and time agian. The game definitely has staying power, especially at parties. Playing board games at parties can sometimes get stale when people have to wait their turn. Mystify allows every player (except the card reader - which rotates) to play every round. Once the timer is turned, players race against eachother to solve the scramble. Whoever answers correctly advances on the board. Each question comes with a clue and it depends on the card category as to what the clue is. This keeps the game extremely interesting. The most fun of all is when two players blurt out an answer at the same time. This is a challenging, fun and educational game - We definitely reccomend it! I really love this game!

We love word games, but all word games are based around forming words -- this game changes all that. The premise of the game is based around solving word scrambles and number scrambles. There is a clue provided with each category so that the players know what direction to look in. I highly recommend this game.
