I have always enjoyed playing games, I remember having many monopoly battles with friends and family several years ago and I knew when I had kids I wanted to have family games afternoons when they were a bit older. Alfie is getting to the age now where he does want to play games and likes to try different ones out but it's hard to find something that captures his attention and that he'll see it through to the end.
We've recently been lucky to review Creepy Hand from Megableu. It's one of those games that is interactive and appears like it would be a whole lot of family fun and maintain Alfie's interest.
The concept of Creepy Handy is really very simple. Based on the classic 'truth or dare' the game centres around the gruesome green hand (with delightful blood drip!). The life size mechanical hand moves around the table in circles (for quite a while I may add) and slowly the finger randomly points to a player. The chosen one then must decide whether to do a truth or dare question. If this is not completed successfully then an extra forfeit is to be faced!
The game includes the creepy hand itself and 100 cards with a variety of questions and dares. Some of them are hilarious, very family orientated (but could be totally spiced up if you add adults and some alcohol, ha!). I've featured a very small selection below, but only a small selection mind you as I wouldn't want to give away too many spoilers.....
It was fun to play, Alfie was interested to a point but some of the dares and questions were a little old for him. That being said the recommended age for the game is 7+ so it's no surprise really. I think the most exciting part of the game is watching the hand move around and wondering who it's going to pick, it's actually quite creepy to watch it slowly moving around and watching it slowly raise its finger and point.
Overall this is a fab family game, it's alot of fun, very interactive and you never know what you're going to have to answer or do or act out. It's such a simple concept and I think that's the appeal of this game and just why it's great for the whole family. Also, because of the nature of the game it means that alot of people can play so you can get the whole family involved. What a great game for Christmas!
Would you like to play Creepy Hand??
* Please note I was kindly sent the game free of charge in exchange for an honest review, all thoughts and opinions are that of my own.
I love games. Such a nice way to all do something together and turn the tv off! me and husband quite often have gaming date nights. The Boy is just getting in to games more, so i'm really enjoying the old faves coming back out (hungry hippos is still awesome!) He's absolutely love this! #marvmondays
ReplyDeleteHa megableu do some random ones! This looks fun and a bit spooky. Just glad something keeps them busy for a while eh? #marvmondays
ReplyDeleteOoh that looks fun! Thanks for joining us for #marvmndays
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fab game but you're right it does sound a bit creepy! #MarvMondays
ReplyDeleteThis would have been perfect for Halloween! May look into getting one for next year :) #MarvMondays
ReplyDeleteBased upon the week I'm having, I'd love to let the Creepy Hand lose it work, giving people the finger, haha. But that wouldn't be very big of me :0) #bestandworst x
ReplyDeleteIt looks a little erm, creepy lol. I'm not sure my kids would like this but they are still only 2 and 4 so maybe in a few years. I did used to love a good game of truth or dear when I was younger. Must definately try it again with friends. Maybe at Christmas when lots of alcohol has been consumed. I agree that could be a lot of fun ;-)

This looks like so much fun! Great review #bestandworst
ReplyDeleteWe played endless games of Monopoly and Risk when I was a kid. My daughter currently likes all things "spooky" She'd probably love this #bestandworst
ReplyDeleteThis looks fun. I love a good game with the family. Especially coming up to Christmas when family visit. Without a doubt every year we end up with games like Taboo being pulled out.

Ha Ha...what a novel concept. Don't need to play favorites or scream of cheating. Let the mighty hand decide. So cool. #bestandworst
ReplyDeleteWe bought this last Christmas and had a great time playing it with all the family gathered round the table after dinner. The fact the wine was flowing by then probably made it all the funnier!
