The drawing can really be frustrating as you’re given a prompt to draw a specific weapon using the letter you are given. This is a mix of a drawing game and a social deduction game which will not be everyone’s cup of tea. With each murder, the group will try to guess who murdered who. Then, you invite a guest to the party, and try to murder other guests. You will have to draw weapons that incorporate (and hopefully hide) a designated letter from your name.
In this game, you play the role of both detective and murderer. Not a deal breaker, but something to consider.įinally, we get to Weapons Drawn. Mix it up a little! Also, it was kind of weird because you have to discuss with your teammates, but then that can give additional clues to the other team. Have me guess the bottom 3 or 1, 4, and 8. Overall, this is a fun game, but I wish that it would mix up what exactly you’re trying to guess. Then, the teams take turns guessing the top 3 second, third, and fourth highest or all of them from the bottom up to score points. Players are divided into two teams and then everyone playing is asked to choose their top 3, 4, or 5 items on a list in order. It was not really explained well and it’s one that you really have to play to get, but I’ll try my best. This is a game that really confused me when I saw the original trailer. The key is to make sure that everyone knows to use a lot of words in the icebreaker sections so you have a large word bank for your answers.įourth is The Poll Mine. You then score points by getting other players and audience members to vote for yours. Then, everyone’s answers are scrambled up and spread across all the players who then have to use those words (plus other words on the screen) to answer “hard-hitting” interview questions. Here, players are asked questions about themselves that are like icebreaker questions for a job interview. The first time I played this game, I wasn’t sold on it, but as we played and saw how it should be played, it became more fun. If it weren’t for the wheel portion of this game, I’d like it a lot more. You can influence it very slightly by how well you do in the trivia rounds, but even then, anyone can win the game depending on the wheel. This part sucks because it determines the winner and is 95% random. The other half sees the players taking turns spinning the titular wheel to gain additional points. This can be a lot of fun despite the fact that several questions will have you guessing and praying. Sometimes you have to select all of the items in a category, other times you have to input something, and others you have to quickly choose between two options based on the question. This is a trivia game that does a great job of mixing things up.
Next, we have The Wheel of Enormous Proportions. This was a lot of fun with the limitations merely being that drawing on your phone with a finger can be clumsy. The big difference for this game is that you actually draw two images that are combined to create a 2-frame animation. Others create their own titles and try to trick others into guessing their title. This is like the classic game Drawful where you’re given a prompt and have to draw a picture to get people to guess the correct answer. The game retails for $29.99 and you can find my thoughts on each game below.įirst, we have Drawful: Animate. As a whole, this isn’t my favorite Party Pack, but there are some really fun games to play with friends and family.
