In this game you have multiple-choice questions that deal with many situations you might actually encounter and also the most unheard of, extreme and dire "scenarios". It's fun especially when you haven't a clue because you must try to apply logic and eliminate the most preposterous answers. So often, though the right answer is the most ridiculous sounding one, and there's a lot of hilarity. I've played this game at family get-togethers and other gatherings and it has never failed to engage and intrigue everyone involved. We took it over to our friends' house and our two families played it. Next time they begged us to bring it and then the next time they had bought it themselves. One warning: If you are playing the game with children, (my daughter age 10 loves it) you might want to go through and take out the question about treatment for gout in men. The content of that one was inappropriate. Incidentally, my guess is there's about 500 questions on half as many cards. (The cards have questions and answers on each side)

2.0 out of 5 stars "worst" indeed, February 23, 2002

This review is from: Worst Case Scenario Game (Toy)

...During the course of several games, we came across numerous questions whose answers were wrong -- for instance: How to breathe during a skydiving freefall? Long deep breaths, short sharp breaths? Neither! The "correct" answer was DO NOT breathe at all, as you will "breathe" through your skin!! Since when can humans breathe through the skin?

Virtually all the driving questions were faulty, and none stipulated automatic vs. manual transmission for questions to which the answers are different depending on that fact.

They did well the write in such a hard-clad disclaimer in the event of injury, as the questions we found with wrong answers were all more or less of a life-or-death nature. Except the UFO one. More often, however, we'd find questions where none of the three proffered answers was quite right, though two or three would have an element of truth.

If they reissue the game, i would suggest two things: first, re-word the questions to account for point-of-view, as in "According to (name of authority), the way to avoid a UFO is..." Secondly, I'd cite, in small print at the bottom of the card, the source for the information.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst game ever, October 28, 2001

I am a game collector, I have lots of them and love playing them. This is the worst game ever. Not only are most of the card question and answers stupid, but there are some that are plain wrong. Out of the small box of questions, (Dont let the size of the game fool you. It is mostly empty.) I found about 20 of them that seemes like fun questions. The rest were stupid. Like, "How do you keep from being abducted by an alien?" It is not a joke, it is serious! Dont waste your money. Unfortunatly the place where I bought it wouldn't let me return an opened game. That is the only reason I still have it. If you must buy it, buy mine, I don't want it!
