Bought this game a while ago, and finally had a chance to play it. It's a lot of fun and the variety of activities make it interesting. If you have some friends who don't mind getting into game and having fun and looking silly, this is highly recommended. If your friends are boring, get new friends and then get this game.

My family really enjoyed playing this game, despite two of them being younger than the target demographic. We played one full game then messed around with a few additional cards to get a feel for it. The kids asked to repeat several of the activities, like walking around with the beach ball between their knees, giving directions to a blindfolded team mate trying to do "Twister" by touching all four bean bags at once, and balancing a die on a flat rubber band while walking in a figure 8. They all voted that the game was "awesome." We modified some of the activities to compensate for their ages (they're 5, 6, 8). It would be fantastic as-is for tweens and up.Some things I noticed:The box is unusual. It's triangular and I almost couldn't figure out how to open it. There's a hole on one end where you grab it to slide the inner box out. I immediately noticed that the game components and the box itself are sturdy/good quality. Later on, I figured out that both halves of the box are essential game pieces themselves.There's a small box to keep the game cards in, and an extra baggie was included (presumably to keep the tokens in once they're punched out of the cards). First time set up took 5-10 minutes, if that.Just for fun, we tried the option to scan a QR code and view the game rules in a short video. It was helpful, but it didn't replace reading the rules. The rules just popped up one at a time on the video (no voiceover), so we had to read them anyways. No big deal, but maybe don't label the QR option as "don't feel like reading the rules? Watch the video here."Pros:An inventive assortment of physical activities that are sure to elicit laughs and competitionGreat quality materials and boxColorful, fun artworkVariety of solo, team, and group challengesMystery challenges add an unexpected twist - scan the QR code on your mystery challenge and keep it secret. Try to complete that challenge anytime during the game (like take a sneaky selfie of you with the beach ball and the player to your left) to earn a bonus token.Cons:The mystery challenges rely on each person scanning a QR code, plus I seem to recall some other challenges we passed on because they basically required everyone to use/have access to a smartphoneThere's some potential for eye injuries, depending on how aggressively your players use the rubber bands or throw bean bags into a box on top of another player's headIt's a UK based game, and nearly every card tells you how many meters away things should be (not a deal breaker, but we Americans need to spend a moment converting it)The beach ball must be inflated and deflated every time the game is opened/put away. It has one of those valve things inside, so it must be pinched to allow air flow either way. Again, not a deal breaker, but annoyingly time consuming. I might find a tiny hand pump to keep with the game if we use it frequentlyThe challenge instructions on each card often had to be read multiple times before we could parse exactly what they were asking us to doTL;DR definitely worth a play, especially for 8+, tweens, teens, adults, drunk adults, and anyone who likes to do physical activities with the other players.

I absolutely adore the spontaneity of this game. You never know what you might end up doing during a session, and that’s a huge part of the fun. This game could help somewhat shy people come out of their shells, but don’t try to put someone super shy on the spot with it. Instead, focus on friends you’re close with and know will enjoy the challenge and excitement offered. Enjoy the funny pictures, vivid hues and wacky, family-friendly challenges while you get moving with the people you love and a game that never gets old.

Pros:+ There are a lot of fun game ideas in this game.+ The game materials are pretty high quality.+ The artwork is colorful.+ The mystery challenges, that you scan a qr code for, add a fun twist on the game.Cons:- The instructions were okay but not great.- Some of the cards were difficult to understand and to figure out what they want you to do.- You have to be in a certain mood to play this otherwise it’s pretty lame.~~~RATING SYSTEM~~~LEGEND+ | These are positive comments about the product.- | These are negative comments about the product.= | These are neutral comments about the product.U | Updated information based on continued usage.-----Diamond's STAR RATING SYSTEM (What do my star ratings mean?):1 STAR - Completely unusable, would request a refund2 STAR - Meets minimum viable product requirements, wouldn't purchase it again3 STAR - It does what it should, but in a non-spectacular way, I may recommend it, but definitely with reservations4 STAR - I like it.

I played this game with two adults and three kids (ages 9, 13, and 17). The instructions are clear and simple to understand, everyone had fun. It's not a sit-down board game, it encourages (or rather requires) you to get up out of your seat and interact! The games were entertaining and had us laughing.There are challenge cards with a QR code where the challenge is randomized. The younger kids don't have phones but we were able to use the QR codes on adult phones and all five players completed their bonus challenges! Mine was to get another player to use a roll of toilet paper as a telescope. Mission accomplished!This game can be played indoors or out, as long as you've got some space. The cards are written in metric (meters), but they include a measuring tape so those of us who use imperial measurements (yards, feet, and inches) can still play. A note here - one meter is just over three feet.The game comes in a triangle box, which makes it unique from the start. The box is actually a part of the game, which is something new and different. My eldest child, having watched the game and the chaos and laughter, joked "it's the second best way to start a family feud, behind Monopoly." We had so much fun that we're looking forward to bringing this game with us on our next trip to visit grandparents so we can include them too. Already a family favorite, the kids are asking for another game night to play again!

I like that this game gets everyone up and moving around. It’s easy to follow, fun and creative

This game or set of activities was pretty fun for us. We like things that helps us all interact physically. This did the trick and was fun!

OVERALL:$40 for this box (from the description) seems reasonably priced. I couldn’t check out the product quality as I gifted it as a present, but I’ll update if I ever got a change to play the game as well! Very neat packaging and good price range as a gift for young adults.USER EXPERIENCE:I didn’t participate in the game itself as I got it to be a Christmas gift for my cell-group friend. I thought we’d have a change to play together but didn’t in the end. He played it with another group of friends just recently and messaged me back saying they had a blast together. So guess it worked! (The group of friends are 22-27 yrs-old)Quote from friend after 2 months of receiving the gift:“Thanks for your Christmas gift, we played the game at our fellowship tonight, everyone had a lot of fun! 🙃🙃🙃🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻” [transcribed from another language]

I bought this for a holiday with three generations, in case we had rainy days. I’m so glad I did. We all enjoyed it and I laughed so much I cried. The grandparents, my teen daughter and my son, who is 16 and has very low vision, were all able to play and enjoyed it. The challenges are all easily adaptable and accessible for most, I was so pleased. We got some great photos and video footage, but it is all a little too embarrassing to share.

It is great as a group activity, if you invite 5-10 people over and want to have a little fun, maybe after a dinner or group activity, this is perfect. It could also be used as a bonding activity for work mates or students in a group. The games are a bit jokesy and rely on everyone being willing to commit to having fun, but once you have everyone wanting to play it can be quite enjoyable. I enjoyed playing with my friends, and the challenges weren't too difficult, but they were fun to do, and also watch other people do, without making a fool out of themselves. Overall, it was really nice, and I was happy to participate!

Bought on a deal for kids during the summer holidays. Looks like lots of fun!

This is a game of challenges, I'd say kids will have a blast as long as they want to play, and for adults, unless you are super competitive bunch that does games and challenges on a regular basis, this might take a bit of alcohol to become fun. This is a game that can be played so many times and each time it will be different, which is nice.
