Ransom Notes - The Ridiculous Word Magnet Party Game, 3+ Players

My family (all adults) and I love this game!! It's super easy to learn how to play, and there is a great selection words allowing a lot of creativity and hilarity. I'm typically not big on board or card games, but love playing this. And, the box is a great size for travel!

I brought this to a couples' game night and it was a hit. Playing in teams of two allowed eight of us to play easily without the need for an expansion pack. (I read and set aside a few of the spicier prompts beforehand.)

Easy and fast to learn. You get right into the playing almost immediately. Nothing complicated. Short rounds make it fast paced enough to keep interest. But not so frenzied that you can’t enjoy and laugh together. My grown family kept saying “I love this game! It’s SO FUN! This is worth every single dollar!”

Takes a while to separate the word magnets, and the word magnets can break if deformed, so be careful while separating the magnet sheets before first play. Also takes some time to set up each game. Each round is expected to be between 60 and 90 seconds according to the box, though can often take longer without a timer. Definitely an adult game, akin to "Cards Against Humanity". Though, there are a lot of prompt cards making the game a bit heavy. The response boards are metal, cards are coated, and overall average quality for a board game.

This is such a fun game. My family has had many laughs from this. Definitely a go-to game for us on the weekend.

We loved this game! So fun and hilarious!

Very fun game. I had no trouble pulling apart all the magnets. Easy travel size.

The game itself is pretty decent quality. Just wasn't our thing. Pro tip: Get a sharp knife because separating all the individual pieces takes forever. The MFG should just finish cutting the words out instead of die-pressing separation lines.We played a few rounds (eight of us) and nobody really enjoyed it. We had a few laughs, but we spent more time thinking about formulating sentences than actually enjoying the humor of them when completed. It's not bad, clearly popular, just wasn't our thing.
