Family-Friendly Game Tests Your Knowledge of Popular Brands

The board game comes with 400 cards, each featuring multiple questions or a single image. The cards range in type from pictures to themes and pot luck, and feature categories such as generic names that were once brands and celebrity endorsers. And since almost everyone is exposed to consumer advertising, the entire family, young and old, can participate in the fun.

A Game with a Simple Concept

Playing Logo is easy. The question master draws the first card from the box and asks the first (purple) question to the player on his or her left. If the player answers correctly, that player moves his or her game piece to the first purple space on the board.

The same steps are repeated for each color-coded question answered correctly. Questions become more challenging as the question master moves down the list on the card. And when a question is answered incorrectly, the next player has the opportunity to answer the same question.

This board game comes with everything you'll need to play. Groups of two to six players can play individually or in teams, asking and answering questions about popular products, symbols, and slogans without any complicated setup or rules.

Move Into the Winning Zone

When a player correctly answers a question near the winning zone and there are no spaces left on the path that match the question's color, the player moves into the winning zone. Once a player has entered the winning zone, on their turn they must correctly answer either two consecutive questions or a red question to win.

Nostalgic Fun Offers Wide Appeal

This board game not only tests your knowledge of contemporary brands, but also revisits products and advertisements long since vanished. Older adults will appreciate the nostalgic jingles and slogans, while younger people will enjoy the questions pertaining to contemporary companies and retailers.

What's in the Box

Logo game board, 400 question cards, 6 game pieces, and instructions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Got Random Knowledge? August 23, 2011

By Tate TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

Most likely you do! And while this new board game based on taglines, slogans, jingles, and brand images has a few flaws in overall gameplay logistics, it still manages to become one more trivia game that is actually quite a bit of fun. The questions are extremely diverse, some easy, some hard, some themed, and some funny. Here's my pros and cons:

PROS:
- Diverse range of questions, good for kids and adults. Ages 12+ is probably correct, but anybody who's watched their share of television will be able to answer several questions correctly. The "theme cards" and "picture cards" also throw in some surprises so it's not completely repetitive.

- Great for groups. The way the questions are designed, every player has an opportunity to answer a question even if it isn't their turn. If a question is answered incorrectly, it goes on to the next player, and so on unless no one can answer it. This is a clever way to keep a large group involved even while it isn't their turn.

- Questions over modern companies, too. Prepared to be quizzed over Blackberry smartphones (What do the letters BBM stand for?--BlackBerry Messenger) (The BlackBerry Storm was their first to offer this interactive feature--A touchscreen display). iPhone, Bing, Amazon.com, Google and plenty of others are also included.

- Easy game play. This is going to be on my list of cons, too, but depending on what you're looking for, this simple board setup could certainly be an advantage. It is all very straight forward - there's not even a dice. You answer a question, you move up. There's no pieces of pie or any real challenge with the board like Trivia Pursuit.

CONS:
- Best with at least 4 players. Like most trivia games, the larger the group the better, but especially with LOGO.... Since part of the fun is having a question being passed on to the next player if it isn't answered correctly. Personally, I think playing with only 2 players would be slightly depressing. 4-6 is a much better range.

- Some throwout questions. Again, this is a flaw with almost every trivia game. Some of the questions are just going to be too random for any normal person to answer. But then again, there may be someone in your group who's crazy enough to know them - and that's always a pleasant shock. Just don't be discouraged if you run into some questions that you'd never guess in a million years. Since they're about advertisements, you should probably feel smart for not knowing anyway.

- Easy game play. Like I said, this can be a good thing, too, but it also makes the "board" part of the board game kinda useless. Other than answering questions, there's no real challenge or luck of the dice. You might as well be reading from a quiz book.

OVERALL: I wouldn't call this game a sneaky bombardment of advertisements and I highly doubt companies paid to have their logos included in the game. It is simply a quiz game that pools from your surprisingly deep knowledge of slogans and jingles and advertisements. It's a pop culture test like anything else. It truly is amazing how many images and taglines get stuck in our heads from the constantly repeating messages projected at us. While winning the game might be a bit bittersweet (and a sign that you need to turn off the TV more often) it really is a lot of fun to see how well you know some of these random facts. I don't think it's the greatest game ever invented, but after playing a few rounds with the family we all agreed it was a good time.

Here are a few sample questions:

- What candy bills itself as "The Freshmaker"? (Mentos)
- What is the popular slogan of soft-toy line Nerf? ("It's Nerf or Nothing")
- What animal is the mascot for Snuggle Fabric Softener? (A bear)
- Name the chain of convenience stores featured in multiple Simpsons episodes. (Kwik-E-Mart)
- What brand says it's the choice of choosy mothers? (Jif peanut butter)
- What are the 3 (and only 3) ingredients in Tabasco sauce? (distilled vinegar, red pepper, salt) Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars Trivia without a die October 17, 2011

By Joseph Dewey VINE™ VOICE

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   

For what it is, a trivia game just based on popular brands, this is probably as good as it gets.

The gameplay is simple, and they've devised a way to play with only using cards and the board, so no die required. The board is a path made up of 4 colors that the instructions say are in 'random' order. And even though the random order would never pass any randomness tests, it makes for game play that moves along.

The cards are the best part. Each card is usually dedicated to a different brand, so you could just thumb through the cards and pick your favorite brands by the pictures on the faces of the cards.

And, you'll probably wonder, since playing this is really similar to watching a couple hours of commercials, "Shouldn't they be paying me to play this game?"

Pros:
+Tons of trivia about tons of different companies
+You can play without dice, so this will last a lot longer than most board games
+Both easy and hard trivia questions, so people don't feel too stupid
+Even if you are really bad at trivia, this game will only take about an hour to play (15 minutes if you're awesome)

Cons:
-All the standard cons that go along with a trivia game. It makes the smart people feel smarter, and the dumb people feel dumber. I'm pretty dumb at trivia, so it was nice to play a trivia game and only feel mildly dumb.

4.0 out of 5 stars Game Nights November 20, 2011

By nosnah

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

This is a great game to add to your list for game night. We get together with friends every few weeks to play games and this is now a new favorite. We enjoyed this because it is a more even playing field. Unlike trivia pursuit that has many science, history, sports, etc questions this just has questions about companies. Companies that most of us are very familiar with. There are questions about sports, fashion, food companies, etc. There is a nice mixture of questions...some hard, easy and some in between. We liked that if the person got it wrong everyone gets a chance to get it right before the question is considered dead.

I highly recommend this game to anyone out there that has family game night (with older kids) or game night with friends.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun game...different than what I expected October 25, 2011

By R. Anderson VINE™ VOICE

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

I thought this game was going to incorporate more "logos" in the gameplay, trying to guess the company behind the symbol...something like that. However, this game is really just Trivial Pursuit: Advertising Edition.

I'm not saying that it's not a fun game. We played several rounds and the questions ranged from incredibly easy to some quite difficult. You get a lot of "oh ya" moments which can make for good times.

The gameplay is quite simple. When it's your turn, you get 4 questions read to you, one at a time. If you answer the first one (the easiest on the card) correct, you get to move to the corresponding color of that question on the board. Then you move to the second question, which is a little harder, and if you answer that one correct, you move to that color. This continues until you get through all 4 questions and then your turn is over. If you answer a question incorrectly, the question is then asked to the person on your right, if they get it correct, then they take over the turn and get the next question on the card, if they answer incorrectly, then it passes to the next person. The colors on the board are random, so if you get lucky, you can make up a lot of ground in just one card. The questions on each card are themed, usually relating to a product, such as breakfast cereals, or a brand, such as BMW. Some of the cards use pictures for the questions, but the majority are just text questions to be read aloud.

There are quiet a few cards in the deck and even after several games, there were plenty of unused cards (the game comes with 400 cards). A game like this though would probably not have a lot of replay value once you get through the deck.... Unlike Trivial Pursuit, where you only ask 1 question on each card and then move on, this game requires that all 4 questions on each card are read...so once a card is used, then the knowledge is out there. Probably would make for a nice re-gift to someone that doesn't own the game!

We enjoyed the game and look forward to playing it again. Read more ›
