Between our weird prompts and your friends’ weirder answers, this might be our funniest game yet!

First, read out a simple question (ex. I’m locked in a tiny room. What else is locked in here with me from cutest to scariest). Then everyone is assigned a secret number from one to ten. Next, each player gives an answer to the question, and the intensity of that answer is based on their secret number (ex. 1= a bunny, 10= a grizzly bear with chainsaw arms.) Finally, the person who read the question has to try and sort those answers into the correct order. If they get it right everyone wins!

This is a collaboration with Cocktail Games based on their Spiel de Jahres Game of the Year nominated title, Top Ten. ®


What's In the Box?

Fun & easy!

Super fun even though my family doesn't understand a REAL scale of 1-10. E.g. demolishing a building: they say a 10 is dynamite and hydrogen gas. WHAT!? I say we take off a nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure...and THAT is probably just a 9, folks.

Get to know EVERYONE

It was one of the easiest games to teach/learn/play ever. The cooperative nature of the game made people who didn't normally like to play for long REALLY enjoy playing with us. I loved listening to the wild and weird answers that were given, and learn that what a 5 is to me is a 9 to someone else. All in all, great game, good for close friends, ice breaker groups, and large age gaps. Will totally add to our travel bag to play more often.

Even my Mom could play!

Every week a motley group gets together for Souper Tuesday (because we have soup and we are super and it's on a Tuesday). I finally got a chance to bust out this game and play it - It was great! Fairly easy set up - a fairly quick start and even though we had a wide range of ages, humor, and game-playing experience - by round 3 we were really having fun. It took us a few rounds to get the hang of it, but it's worth it. A little clunky to word the Least to Best scale each time, but not terrible to figure out. It's great for all kinds of people to be able to play - we have a range of over the top show monkeys to pretty quiet folks and we were all able to collaborate and have a great time.
