This game offers a fun twist on the classic hangman concept, engaging families in a playful way. While the magnetic pieces provide an interactive experience, many guests have noted issues with stability, as the figure tends to fall apart during gameplay. Despite these challenges, the game encourages creativity and spelling practice, making it a great addition to family game nights. Guests appreciate the innovative design but suggest improvements for better durability.

Don't buy
He falls before can put on the final piece. Then you have to stop and put it back together before you can continue the game.

This works if used correctly.
We took our girls to buy board games to occupy our summer time and they begged for this. So we gave in, to only be extremely annoyed with it not working. It prompted me to read the reviews here to see if it was an us problem or the game. Which obviously everyone’s complaints here were the same as ours. Annoying right? So we decided we would return it for another item. In the meantime we decided to give it another chance my daughter said instead of putting the legs first after the body I’m going to try the arms. To our surprise the game works!!!!! You are literally supposed to go lightest to heaviest. Head first, arms, then legs. There is even a leg that is literally heavier and states this on the bottom to go last. This not working is user error, not that the game itself. After we figured this out, we have had no issues! My only reason for giving four stars is the box in which we store the game i wish that was better designed so items don’t fall out and get lost. Other than that, great game.

What all the others are saying—great idea, poor execution as you cannot hang the man as the plastic piece cannot hold up the magnetic pieces. Falls apart. My son was super disappointed.

Do not purchase if tou want to play a fun game
My son and I just bought this from the store. He was so excited to play it literally setting it up. Everything falls apart. It doesn’t hang because it’s too heavy for the plastic hanging piece. Definitely do not buy it. Great idea horrible execution.

The pieces do NOT hold when you hang them. Defeats the purpose of the whole game and very frustrating.

I would give this 0 or negative stars of if I could. Very poorly designed. It won't hold together. You can't even play it. Do not buy this. Target should not even sell this.

Dont buy this game-waste of money
Worst game ever. Falls apart, impossible to play. 6 year old very disappointed. This going back. They should not sell a game that doesn't work. Where is any accountability for what they put on the shelves.?

Terrible design, does not work well
Terrible quality. The man doesn’t hold together during game and falls apart. Packaging is not thought out. All around a bad product and design. We found ourselves not being able to make words because of the lack of letters. We played one time and took it back.

"hank" is very fragile and falls apart sometimes- dont we all. Wish there was a better way to sort through the letters too. Still a good game that we enjoy

It works yalll! You have to read the bottom of the right foot that’s the final piece. If you put the right foot on before the left it will fall. The bottom of the right foot literally says final piece.

fun, could use more letters
Fun to play but do wish there were more letters. Some words can't be used due to no letter or not enough of a single letter. With that said it's still very playable and we enjoy it. Wish I could buy more letters, sold separately from the original game, but it would be best to update the game and include more letters

Very disappointed
Does not work as intended. Falls apart prior to last piece being added. Supposed to fall when 7th piece added but instead falls apart on 6th piece, sometimes even sooner. Also, not enough letters included. For example, only one “P”.

Great Game. Ridiculous Packaging.
The game itself is great! However, the packaging, and therefore storage of the game, is so atrocious I am bothering to write this as a review. The box has two cutouts on the sides to create a window to what the game pieces look like, with clear plastic trays as part of the packaging. It’s difficult to realign the pieces in the plastic trays, but the box is unusable for storage without them as there’s just two holes in the box. Currently our game is stored in a shoebox. Again, great game, but the original box needs to be redesigned to just a plain old enclosed box.
