"When we start playing, no one wants to stop"
- Chelsey H.
Why is it rated 15+?
Some prompts mention adult themes, but you can easily remove about 20% of the cards to make it completely family-friendly for all ages.
How long does each round take?
Individual rounds take 1-2 minutes to create responses. Full games run 30-90 minutes, or until you run out of energy from laughing.
Do the magnets really work?
Yes! They work exactly like refrigerator magnets, sticking perfectly to the metal trays but easy to remove after each round.
Is setup really that easy?
The only "setup" is breaking apart the word magnets the first time (takes about 20 minutes). After that, you're playing in under a minute every time.
