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. ®

Reviews Summary
Customers say this game sparks creativity and laughter with its quick, easy-to-learn format. Many reviews mention it works great for all ages, from kids to grandparents. The cooperative gameplay gets groups giggling as players rank silly scenarios on a scale. While some note it works best with creative players who know each other well, most find it perfect for both family game nights and party settings. Common feedback includes praise for its short rounds and simple rules, though a few mention it can be challenging to come up with mid-range answers.

    DIFFICULT !

    Funny listening to other peoples answers, but l found it difficult understanding the questions.

    This is good for people who want to improve their English

    Lots of Fun

    I enjoyed seeing the order of answers . It was funny. Not for young children as it is difficult.

    I would recommend this game for people the same age as you.

    Game with potential

    Good game with potential, it relies on creativity so if people aren't creative with answers it becomes challenging or boring.

    Kid-Friendly Fun

    This game is quick to learn and good for a wide range of ages (we've played with 8-70 year olds, and everyone enjoyed it). Rounds are short, so it can easily be played at times when other games are too long. We've enjoyed playing it while waiting for dinner to finish cooking or for more guests to arrive at a gathering. It would also make

    a really good icebreaker. I'll definitely be gifting this one to other families.

    The more, the sillier

    This game only gets better when played with a bigger handful of friends! It’s best when the group knows one another pretty well, so the answers are even more hilariously tailored to those playing.
