Editorial Review

Go ahead, blurt it out! Name all the Jell-O flavors you can think of in 60 seconds. How many books by Judy Blume can you remember? How about musical instruments you blow? Motor mouths excel at this fast-thinking, noisy game. Each team is given one minute to shout out answers that might--or might not--be listed on the topic card. For every correct answer, the team scores one point. A cool viewer makes the invisible answers on the topic card magically appear. With 400 topics, bonus points, and options for younger or older players--even adults can join in--prepare for hours of explosive fun! The game includes two decks of topic cards, a viewer/card holder, a score card with scoring glides, a 60-second timer, a bonus number die, and very friendly instructions with great advice for being good sports. For two or more players in teams.

It has been brought to our attention that some boxes of Outburst Jr. contain a single question card from the adult version of the game. The contents of this card may be considered unsuitable for children. --Emilie Coulter

This review is from: Outburst Junior (Board Game)

I have had "Outburst Junior" sitting on my game shelf for many years now. My kids are grown now, but recently I had some young visitors and remembering all the hours of fun we had with this game in years past(It's still in great shape), I thought it would be a great way to keep these youngsters entertained. And it was! The object is to try and YELL out as many items in a specific catagory, as you can think of in a limited amount of time.The kids loved this as they got to show off what they knew and use their "outside voices" as well! In the edition I have(hopefully it is still the same), there are cards picked at random that decide the catagories, there is one side for kids subjects(name the 7 dwarves etc, and the other side of the card is for the adults and the subjects are of course a little harder. So there's a level playing field, the kids can compete with you and you DON'T have to let them win. It's fun, a great break from TV and video games, and it makes them THINK! Even if their just playing against other kids, they'll enjoy it.I would definitly reccomend this for school age kids and their parents.
Have fun....Laurie

We LOVE this game! We have two boys (ages 7 and 10) and this is one of the few games that we all seem to enjoy because both boys can be successful but it's interesting and challenging for adults too. Nobody whines when we suggest turning off the TV to play!

There is nothing better (at times at least ) than a game that the whole family enjoys playing. Our 8-year old and 6-year old love to play this game with us and it helps the youngest's reading, counting (on the board) and knowledge for both of them. The only problem is our youngest who is 3 1/2 wants to play and she is a bit too young and winds up getting frustrated and frustrating us all in turn.
A nice small game to bring on vacation and even play in the car or airplane - for all ages (the youngest ones need to be on a team with someone older and the older ones need patience.)
Fun!
