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. ®

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.

Just good fun

This game can work for multiple audiences, like family or friends, since it relies on individual creativity. I've been playing this with my family and we like each other more than when we try to play monopoly.
