If you look at the game box it tells you "Twister" is for ages 6 and up, but I have seen a suggestion that it is "intended" for ages 6-12. However, the popularity of the game seems to be mainly with college students, who bring a different perspective to the game's objective, which is to "Outmaneuver your opponents by placing your hands and feet on the colored circles." Attempting to buck this trend, "Bratz Twister" attempts to tie the old version of the game to the Bratzpack dolls that have taken a serious bite out of Barbie's part of the business.

The game box contains a spinner, the mat 5-1/2 x 4-1/2 foot vinyl mat marked with colored circles now adorned with the distinctive lip prints of the Bratz dolls (same thing for the colors on the spinner), and the brief rules, which everybody already knows. A referee spins the spinner to come up with which hand or foot has to be placed on the circle of which particular color but there can never be a circle with more than one hand and/or foot on it, which is what makes things interesting. As the game progresses, this becomes much more difficult and bodies become entangled, which we always assumed was the point of the game. If you fall, or if any part of your body besides your hands and feet touch the mat, you are out and the last player literally left "standing," so to speak, is the winner. The idea was that "The game that ties you up in knots" would be a good ice breaker for parties (keep in mind, the game was created in the 1960s), but it ended up becoming the raison d'etre for such festivities. Many of us have memories of "Twister" parties way back then and clearly the idea here is to have "Bratz Twister" parties where young girls have fun with their dolls before and after playing the game.

Over 19 million copies of the game have been sold since it came out in 1966 (and originally sold for $6). The game was part of the golden age of games for Milton Bradley in the Sixties, when the company came up with "Life" (1960), "Stratego" (1961), "Trouble" (1965), "Operation" (1965), and "Battleship" (1967). In recent years Milton Bradley has also come out with a "Twisted Moves" game aimed at ages 8 to adult that gets players following the directions of a pair of recorded DJs on CDs, but that has more to do with dancing. The Guinness World Record for the largest "Twister" game was set by 4,160 students at the University of Massachusetts on May 2, 1987 and in 1999 "Twister" received the Dr. Toy Best Classic Toys award.
