Educational Insights Blurt! The Think Fast, Shout-it-Out Party Game - Family Games for Kids and Adults, Board Games for Family Night, Fun Word Game for Ages 7+

Played this game at an event and had to order it for my young grandkids, great game to expose them to various words describing things.

this was a gift for my grandson who is 8. This is a really fun game. I reccomend it to anyone that likes board games.

I love this game.....as an educational game, for now. As another reviewer said, if you're playing with a mixed age group, the older players will be able to win pretty easily. We usually play it with our 8 year old, and we often pretend that we're still searching for the word in order to give him a better chance at winning. While we adults don't mind holding back like that, a group of mixed age children would probably be different. So if you have younger and older children, you might want to team them up with an adult each to level the playing field. Apart from that (which in our case isn't a problem), the game is awesome. It makes the kids listen and focus, and is great for vocabulary studies. I think the recommendation said 10 and up, but my son is playing it pretty well at 8. So if you're willing to give some assistance, younger children can play it, too. It's fun to play, but for it to be REALLY fun and competitive, the playing field must be pretty level. I would love to try it out as a party game with a group of adults, but for now, I'm very happy that my son is enjoying the game and learning at the same time ;-)

I love this game for my older language therapy students. It’s great for vocabulary and word retrieval. You can modify the rules based on the players.

My family enjoyed this game. It is simple to play and could be a good way to improve vocabulary. But it wasn't loud and funny like I expected. Usually it was just a matter of who could say the word the quickest. The questions are pretty basic so that my 7-yr-old could answer all the "easy" questions and many of the others.

This is the second time I've reviewed this game and nothing's changed.... I still love it. We bought the newest set because we burned through all of the cards of the first game. If you like party games and if you like shouting and laughing, this is the perfect game. The game is extremely simple. It is a multi-player game, meaning 4 or more. If you have many people, let's say 20, no problem, just break them into teams. The last time we played we had five teams of three people. Each team rotates being the reader while the other teams answer. The reader reads a definition on the card and the first person/team to blurt out the right answer wins that round. In this game it pays to have a good vocabulary and to be LOUD!! You may know every word in the dictionary but if no one can hear you give the answer then you will lose every time. Now, of course there are the occasional arguments to determine who said the answer first, but it all boils down to who did the reader hear. We had so much fun with this game and we had ages 10 up to 65. The definitions aren't incredibly hard, it is just the pressure to be the first to yell out the answer. We love love love the game, only if they'd make refills!!!

This is a good game for middle school and highschool students. Maybe even higher level elementary students. Hell, maybe even for adults too! It comes with a "difficult" set or an "easy" set. I use the easy side for my students and scaffold up or down depending on their language needs. I've yet to have any of my students answer correctly to a "hard" card, but then again---many of them have language delays and disorders. Experience may be different with a typically developed child. It targets a great deal of expressive and receptive language skills as it is very vocabulary based. The kids enjoy not having to wait their turn and just blurting out the answer and being loud. Good game for speech pathologists to incorporate into their game days.

I bought this game for my kids (5 and 7). While it is a good way to practice reading for my 5 year old, that was about it. It's basically the game Taboo, but without any creativity or thought, because the clue is provided. The fact that the clue is provided also makes it not fun for adults and kids to play together, since the adults will almost always be able to guess the word first. I suppose it could be a vocabulary builder but if you want a game that requires any thought (and creates a more level playing field so you can play with your kids), get Taboo instead.
