This looks great fun, nice size box as most games come with boxes that are huge and oversized. Great idea and totally different to most other games. Instructions were in two separate books made it more difficult and English wasn’t the first language. Would’ve been easier to merge the instructions into one book. Once I explained what they had to do for each card they were happy to go along with it and found easy to play. They did find the tasks challenging and lots of laughing from both kids. Really did keep them entertained, especially the 7 year old who was winning at all the challenges! They became very competitive playing this game.  Both boys loved trying to complete the challenges, even after the timer was up. This game was played with friends and family and lots of fun and giggles. We have played this game about 4 times now.  My 7 year old loved the funny glasses. 11 year old loved attempting to draw the challenges. I loved that is kept the kids entertained for longer than 5 minutes. Age suitability was ideal. Definitely great game to play at Christmas.  All ages could play the game as there is an easier option and a harder option on each card. Contents for the game good quality and love that it uses items which we always have in the house! Reasonable value but feel it would’ve been better if some additional “props” were included. The game is fab quality and hard wearing…..even after being bounced off the floor when a challenge was lost! We would buy this as fun game and totally different from the usual games. Would recommend for all the same reasons and because it is ideal for all ages. This is a fantastic game which is suitable for all ages thanks to the cards having options for those younger and older. Kids loved trying the different challenges! There aren’t many games which the two kids will happily play together but this is definitely one of their favourites.

The UpsideDown Challenge looked and sounded fun, like a good game the whole family could join in on. The game sounded very interesting, especially when you have challenges to complete while wearing glasses that turn everything upside down. The Instructions were easy to follow and listed everything you needed before starting the challenges which I thought was good as we didn’t have to go and fetch the items when we turned the card over. There are difficulty ratings on each card so my children could choose the easier option, both my 5 year old and 11 year old enjoyed the challenges. My Children were definitely entertained during the challenges, the game had them laughing during their turn and at others. Some are more challenging than others. Both enjoyed playing and were disappointed when it was time to finish, I think it will become one of their favourites and will come out the box again for sure. My children were not very competitive during the game as they were having too much fun. So far we have played as a family but I’m sure they will want to play again with friends when they get a chance. It is a great family game and kept us entertained for a while. We’ve only played a couple of times so far but we will be playing again. My Children enjoyed wearing the glasses to turn everything upside down. It is something different to other games out there which is good to see. They enjoyed the action challenges the most. My favourite thing about the game is that it’s a game for the whole family. The game has a age rating of 7+ which is about right I think but my 5 year old also had no problem joining in. I do think this is an ideal family game for Christmas as it is fun and exciting. On set up of the game we did need to collect a few extra items we might need during play. These items were listed in the instructions and were easy enough to get but it would have been nice if they could have been included. I think the price is average for a game so it fits in well with others. I’m not sure I would want to pay full price for it even though it is a good game. The quality of the glasses and cards is great. The glasses seem quite robust and are easy to wear on your head. I would consider buying the product if I saw it in store. I would recommend the game to friends if they were looking for something fun to play.  Overall it is a good fun game and is good quality. The challenges are funny, and kept the family entertained for a while. The instructions could be a bit clearer in regards to the extra super challenges and star chips as I couldn’t find much information about these. We will be playing the game again soon and will be happy to recommend to others. Katie Roberts – Logan & Aria – 11 & 5 Years

Colourful box and interesting concept for a game. It’s a different concept and is interesting using our own bodies against us and tricking our mind. The instructions are clear but I find the whole book which contains the instructions in many different languages a pain to navigate and I kept losing my place. The game has a simple concept and the rules were clear. My son did find the tasks challenging and entertaining.  There was a lot of laughter when you realise that even the simplest pictures suddenly become very hard to draw. I had said let’s play a few quick rounds however the children got very involved and asked to play for longer. They also then wore the goggles around the house setting themselves their own challenges. This game definitely makes you feel you can do better than the person playing and your eager to have a go yourself to see what the fuss is about. We played this game as a family and my two kids did get competitive and laughed whilst it’s their turn and at the other players. We played as a family and it kept us entertained. We have only had a chance to play this game a few times, however we look forward to playing it again over the festive season. I guess how much you rely on your eye sight, as an adult playing this game I just tried to not look and draw from memory but as a child trying to get your hand to follow your brain was fun. I liked how the most simple of tasks can be made difficult when your eyesight tricks your brain. I agree 7+ is ideal for this game. I feel any age range below this would struggle and get frustrated by the concept. Definitely ideal game to play over Christmas.  The rules and concept are quick to understand so it would be easy to explain to first time players. I did find it annoying that I had to find some many extra bits before we could start playing. The loo rolls are not something we had immediately to hand. Good value as most games are around this price. Quality is really good and the goggles are easy to put on and comfortable to wear. I like to try new games that come to the market, this one is a different game to play and got all of us giggling. I would recommend due to its ease of playing and different concept to all other games on the market. This new game has an interesting new concept, fun for all ages and easy for anyone of any age to play. I do think the time limit is too restricted and we didn’t end up using the sand timer as it can take a while to get your bearings before you even start drawing. Also having to find other resources to play the game means it would be difficult to play in an unfamiliar setting for example on holiday. The children had great fun playing this game there was lots of laughter and they stayed engaged throughout. Lucy Lowe – Zak 8 Years
