I played this game in a group with ages ranging from 35-75. Everyone had a great time. Lots of laughing and good clean competition!

We played this game while visiting in the UK and was thrilled to finally find it available through Amazon. This game is great fun for the whole family.

Kids like to learn about words with this game. The down side is that the timer broke within the first game played. I substitute a different timer. Fun game, though and it really gets the students thinking!

I purchased this game as a gift from my husband's gift list. Originally, our 13yo granddaughter disdained the thought of playing a game that wasn't electronic, so he and I began the game ourselves (game is played by 2 players or 2 teams). As we were obviously enjoying ourselves, she left her electronic entertainment to watch us play, insisting that she be allowed to play the winner. We have had several family tournaments, with the scorekeeper playing the winner in the subsequent round! This game really makes you think quickly!

As a teacher, I always buy educational toys for my nephews. When this arrived, the timer didn't work. The Getta Letter company replaced it immediately. We love this game. It helps the boys build their vocabulary and think quickly.

We got this for Christmas, so we haven't had it that long. It was really fun for the family. Some drawbacks are: you can go through the topics rather quickly; the kids are so busy shouting out their own answers, they don't listen to anybody else; there is not a way to check if answers are correct, especially since you may not hear them; and the timer seems like it is going to break everytime you wind it (but it hasn't). I like the design. It doesn't have a lot of pieces. Overall, the kids love it, and it is a game we can play as a family.

My biggest complaint about this game is the timer does not work well or consistently. Most times we can't get it set or it never goes off. Also the instructions are pretty vague and you have to resolve conflicts on your own. It is a good learning tool for younger children but there are too many negatives for me to recommend buying it.

I bought this for my 7 year old for a gift...it was ready to play out of the box, it seems like it is put together with quality...the four star on the quality is because we've only had it a short while, but it feels like it will last. It feels solid, the hinged letters have a nice secure feel to them...we had a lot of fun playing it so far, the cards included had a lot of good categories, we also found ourselves adding in a few of our own.. Quick games make for good attention span.
