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

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!”

This game is so fun. It’s a must have for a family with a twisted sense of humor.

My family and I loooove this game! We play with ages 11-54. So much fun! My daughter took to college.

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.

The media could not be loaded. Love this game! Super easy for new players to learn, I love the magnet design very unique and not just another card game. I was able to take it on a plane but just be aware that TSA will probably take it out and inspect. Overall 4.5/5 my only issue is that I wish there was a storage bag for the magnets, we have been using a ziploc which has worked well so far. I also love that the time commitment varies on how long you want to play, only have time for two rounds? Totally fine! What to play all night? Just reshuffle the words in and you are good to go!

Tedious set up, but they tell you about that in the instructions and they're little magnets so it's a little involved. But it's worth it because this game is fun! The little trays are cute! I like how the instructions have you son the box to determine the judge because you can't cater an answer to a specific person. Overall great game.

This is so much fun to play! We howled with laughter. I bought another one as a gift!

Great concept. There are LOTS of tiny magnetic pieces that need to be separated and then stored. Functions along the lines of an Apples to Apples where by you use your words to try and craft a witty, funny answer that others will like. Frankly the prompts and the words didn’t always match up well in our experience playing with a group of four. It was hard to craft the answers more often than not.
