5 Second Rule

Wow! I am so happy I brought this game up to our Cousins Reunion! The game was a great ice breaker with all the Cousins! There were many that I never met or did not really know well! ! It was a hit with all the adults and kids! (Family friendly version) The game is very easy to play (especially when the adults had one too many to drink (not the kids!)) We made up our own rules: Basically, one person is the judge per round. The judge picks a card from the box of cards and reads it aloud! The person to the judges left is in the hot seat and has to give three answers under five seconds. The game comes with a five second timer that gets turned over immediately after the judge reads the card. The person on his left must answer within the allotted time. If not, the card is returned to the back of the box of cards! However, if the person gives three answers, the timer is turned over again for the next person to give three different answers from the first person. This continues until someone makes a mistakes or has a brain fart and is stomped! When that happens, the card is given to the LAST person who gave the last three different answers from anyone else. The game continues until someone accumulated six cards ! We could not stop laughing! I highly recommend this game if you want to have lots of fun!

My grandkids ages 8-19 love this game, and so do the adults! We love the fast pace and the silly timer makes us laugh. You can sit where you want and don’t need to use a table. Perfect for travel. Great purchase.

My 10-year-old loves to play this game with me and my wife, and it's surprisingly challenging to come up with 3 of anything in 5 seconds. And even though this game is pretty difficult for his 5-year-old sister, my son started coming up with categories of his own on her level. The card might say "name 3 pro soccer players" Or "name 3 sci-fi movies", but my son decided to put the card down and make up one for his little sister. He said, "name 3 Dora the Explorer characters." The intense focus on her face and she scrambled to name 3 characters from one of her favorite shows in only 5 seconds... oh, it was just fantastic. And reading the cards themselves as I play with my 10-year-old is fun too. Sometimes he comes up with things I figure he'll never be able to think of. It's a fun little game that encourages family time. I love it.

Fun for everyone.

This is a great game for groups that don't know each other super well. We have a lot of games that are fun but require you to have some kind of knowledge about the people you're playing with- this isn't that but still is very funny and fast paced and can be as long or as short as you want it to be. I also think you could do this with most age groups!

I ordered this for my daughter and family. With teenagers family game nights are important. This is a funny, fast-paced game. It’s easy to box and take on vacation, camping, for sleepovers, etc. it was a hit with the kids.

I got this as a birthday present for my son and he enjoys it. It's very simple, You get a card that has something like "name three makes of car". You turn the timer, which is provided, and you have until the last ball reaches the bottom to give 3 answers. If you fail, play passes to the next person who cannot repeat any answers. If everyone fails, you win by default. There's plenty of cards but there are a few specifics that would get older after a time, such as name books by a certain author or name movies with a certain actor. Of course if you don't know any, this is pretty useless so if playing with children you may want to pull or skip those cards to make it fair. The basis of the game is so simple, you could even make up your own cards and, if playing with adults only, could make it a little more risque with the name 3... Overall, lots of fun to be had but can be predictable after you've been through the cards a few times.

Questions too easy. For young kids.

Es un juego que vale muchísimo la pena es muy fácil de aprender, es muy divertido, y sobre todo entretenido para todo mundo, lo mejor de todo es que no requieres de nada más que lo que hay en la caja, esto fue un regalo y si hablas español, consiguete mejor esa versión ya que existen algunas cartas que son exclusivas del público estadounidense y eso hace menos divertido y dinamico el juego, pero puedes acoplarla a tu propio pais.

Great quick thinking game. Everyone was laughing and falling over themselves during this game. Knowing that you’re on the clock really adds to the pressure and excitement. The things that we forget when we are pressured, amazing. I have one for my hone and one for my trailer. One of the best games ever, you can even play online.

Very good

Good family fun game

The game is fun. Just not as fun as other games. Some questions can be odd and require specific cultural knowledge.
