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

Product Information

A creative party game for making hilariously terrible sentences. Players respond to outlandish situations like "Tell someone you've clogged their toilet at a party" with just their limited pool of word magnets, leaving even master wordsmiths no choice but to create awesomely horrendous phrases. With hundreds of word magnets included, every round is always fresh, wildly creative, and tears-streaming-down-your-face funny.

I love this game! I bought it randomly and now it’s one of my friends favorite game for me to bring to all our gatherings. You get to be creative but silly and it’s so much fun with a group of friends or people you just met. We've designed this Ransom Notes expansion to bring a whole new level of terrible sentence making to your table.

There are also some prefixes and suffixes in the mix, that didn’t happen to make it into this collection. Protected: Podcast 27: My interview with Destiny Herndon-De La Rosa of New Wave Feminists July 14, 2017

Individual rounds usually take about 1-2 minutes to make a response (feel free to set a 90 second timer if you like). The whole game takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes. After a player wins the current round, it is time to prepare for the next round. Take all of the magnets off each players’ submission card. Return all of these word magnets to the top of the box.

Customer reviews

Ransom notes are perfect for adult game nights, quirky holiday gifts, and hilarious birthday gifts for smart people. The game is rated 17+ for mature content, but can easily be made family-friendly by removing some of the prompt cards. Rated 14+, but make your responses as clean or dirty as you like — it all depends on who you play with!

When we start playing this game in my family, no one wants to stop. We just keep saying, "Let's do one more," after playing for hours. The game has almost no rules, and no learning curve. It has our family in absolute stitches, and in amazement at the cleverness of people's responses. It's a bonding experience for the whole family (kids in their 20s). I've never laughed so dang hard at a game as I did playing this. Tears rolling down my face! It's a must have at any gathering." The winner takes the ransom card and the first person to win 5 cards is the winner. It really is that simple. Components Make the best answer to an outrageous prompt... but you can only use your own pool of word magnets!

It's always an excellent service with brilliant products at a very competitive price - will use again! Drug use, personal demons, wild episodes, and more. Side Effects is a "take that" card game where players race to treat all the diseases in their psyche with medication and therapy.

Rated 15+, but make your responses as clean or dirty as you like — it all depends on who you play with! The game ends once one of the players have acquired five Prompt Cards due to providing the best response in the round. The first player to acquire five Prompt Cards wins the game. This player has acquired five Prompt Cards. They have won the game. Alternative Ransom Notes Modes Party Gamer Not really. While a majority of prompt cards are certainly suitable for all audiences, there are quite a few that are definitely not. BUT, if you do want to make it family friendly, pulling about 15-30% of the cards should make the game totally PG and playable for all! I love family games, but I’m horrible at learning new rules. Here are a few other games I’ve reviewed: The game lists itself as 17+, and after a thorough inspection, I can see why. Even the most innocuous words can become hilarious and/or twisted around, but they’ve also included a handful of body parts (“butt”, “booty,” “boob,” “ass,” “genital”), activities (“murder,” “sex,” “seduce”), and other words in the magnets that one may or may not want to set aside (“bitchy,” “sexy”). Also about 20 of the prompt cards (less than a sixth) could be considered somewhere on a scale of silly (“Why is cocaine illegal?”) to direct references to sex acts and porn. And one weird Bernie Sanders reference. You can easily remove these and still have a lot of cards to play with. ReviewEach player should randomly grab a bunch of magnet tiles. The game recommends taking around 75. This does not have to be an exact amount unless all of the players agree that it should be. WHAT’S INCLUDED: 660 high quality word magnets, 6 metal submission cards, 100 prompt cards, storage bag, and instructions. With tons of absurd prompt cards and a new pool of words every time, this party game has infinite hilarious combinations and feels fresh every time you play AGE 15+: Ransom Notes: House Party Edition is designed to be perfect for both family groups and adult game nights alike — the prompt cards are appropriate for most teen family groups, but players can decide how clean or inappropriate to make the game depending on their answers.
