Outset Media Family Charades Card Game Travel Friendly – Includes Over 300 Charades – Perfect for Parties, Vacations, and Holidays – Ages 8+

So much fun!
We had 3 kids age 9 and 2 adults. Some of the suggestions were a little difficult but we adapted and and just chose a different card. It was fun!

Not as challenging as their other versions – it’s better for smaller kids
This game will be much more fun for the family when you have smaller children. We have another “Hollywood” charade game that appears to be from the same company and I gave that one five stars. It had a timer, explanations of starting gestures in the box etc. With this one, it has no timer, there are directions to download the standard starts and shortcuts online.Overall, even the difficult 90 second options were not challenging at all and after a few rounds all of us quickly grew bored with this. We like the concept and had very high expectations after the previous game, but this one didn’t quite do it for us.That said if you have little ones that want to play with you (my youngest is 8 and he found it fun) or with each other – this would be a great game. For a family gathering with adults and kids of all ages – not really, it fell a little flat for us.That being said, I will continue to seek out the themed charade games because those are incredibly fun and challenging enough to hold your interest. This game is “OK” but not great. For the price though, it’s definitely worth picking up.

ok for playing with younger children
I bought this game to try and introduce the concept to my grandchildren ( age 9 and under). I was a bit disappointed though. The “answers” are not broken down by categories such as songs or movies – I feel this could have been easily done even for younger participants. If I had to do it again, I would do it the old fashioned way and write them down on paper and put them in a fish bowl. It is an ok stocking stuffer but not a true gift.

Some Laughing
So, this review is easy to express. I randomly picked this product. I checked the first few reviews, figured that it’s not a difficult game that I have to spend a long time deciding if it’s going to be fun, LOL. So when a few people said this game was fun for all family members of ages (I say at least 9+), it really is!We had a great week acting out each scenario after dinner. It’s a great way to digest a meal without it feeling like working out. Most of the time, you have to get up and dance, or hop, or jump, and make all kinds of various movements to imitate the words on the cards while the “Otherz” shout out guessing points. Oh, and then there’s a one minute timer to get it right. But if you get as hysterically animated as I do when you hear the 10-second countdown, then you will get laughed at! And laughing is the best way to end an evening.

We brought this game along for an out of town holiday gathering with family and it was so fun! We had a variety of ages (from 7 years and up) and everyone was included and had a great time with lots of laughs. It’s portable, and easy for all ages to understand and play. I’d recommend this purchase!
