I received this product in exchange for an honest review. The game was a lot of fun and easy for kids ages 10, 12, 14, and 16 along with two parents to quickly get the hang of. A lot of laughs and good competition. Can easily be played with families or among a group of adults. One daughter was reluctant to play but heard the fun from the other room and decided to join in.

Very fun family game!
I received this product in exchange for an honest review. My family loves board games of all kinds. We enjoy playing a game together after dinner time before the kids go to bed. This is our new game and it’s a blast!! It’s straightforward and easy to understand the rules. We usually play the yellow side because they tend to be easier. This game causes a lot of laughter since we say wacky answers sometimes. When you have 5 seconds to answer and no time to think, you blurt out hilarious answers! This is such a fun game. We’ve already brought it over to a friend’s house and played with them. I love the timer, it’s unique and cool! Highly recommend!!

A Game For Everyone!
We received this game in exchange for our honest review. My 9 year old daughter especially loved it! I did too except for some of the cards I was clueless on. She also had no idea what some were, but it was fine because they are double sided and the game comes with plenty!! It is fast paced and keeps the attention of those that get bored easily.

Lots of Fun and Laughter
I received this product in exchange for an honest review. My husband and I played this with my grandsons 9 and 13 and had a lot of laughs and fun. There are so many topics that it was easy for all of us to play. You have the option of choosing another card if you don’t think the younger players will know the topic. It gets them thinking though. I like that you can play any where because you don’t have to set up a board or anything else.

Fun fast paced family game
I received this product in exchange for an honest review. We played this game with 2 adults and our 11 year old granddaughter. The 5 second timer made it a fun challenge to try to quickly name three items. I feel like the fast pace made it equally easy for the adults and child. It moved quickly enough that no one got bored. I can see adding this to the games we play on road trips. We'll definitely play this again.

Fast Family Fun
I received this product in exchange for an honest review. This is a perfect game to start conversations. With minimal setup, you'll be diving into fun! The wide variety of cards to pick from had endless options for all. The fun timer had everyone giggling with the answers that were and weren't shared just in time. This game really helps everyone think on their feet. As the rounds went on, everyone started to think faster. It's the perfect game to bring with and play while waiting at a restaurant or traveling in the car.

Perfect for quality time
Our Family game nights just got way more fun with this 5 Second Rule board game! My husband, our 12 year old, and I couldn’t stop laughing the entire time. The pressure of having only five seconds to answer sounds easy… until you’re put on the spot! It’s the perfect mix of silly, fast paced, and surprisingly challenging. We loved how it got everyone thinking (and cracking up) at the same time. Definitely a new favorite in our family game rotation it is easy to learn, fun for most ages, and guaranteed to bring lots of smiles and friendly chaos!

The pressure was real but lots of fun.
Oh my, we had a time. It was so fun seeing everyone guessing in under 5 seconds. When you think you know the answers, they do not come right away. My boys enjoyed trying to figure out every little card. This game was very easy to understand, easy to set up, and even easier to clean up. It has so many cards that everyone can literally guess a number of times and win a card or 2. When we thought we were smart, it actually challenged us to even greater levels of thinking. 5 seconds didn’t seem enough. We absolutely also loved taking turned flipping the bead timer.

Great for a group with broad age range
We played this game at a family gathering of 3 generations. It was completely appropriate for all ages, no illicit content. There was a lot of laughing and fun. I’m still mad I couldn’t name 3 Elvis songs in 5 seconds- but it won’t happen again!!!

Fun for the Family
I was sent this product to test with my family in exchange for my honest review. Most of my family enjoyed playing this game together for family night. The quick timer definitely adds to the excitement, but my child with anxiety said that it was too much pressure. My 9 year old and 12 year old got almost as many cards as my husband and I did. Many of the newer cards about TikTokers and Actors were not geared toward my family as we don’t spend much time with social media or the latest movies. If you have a small group, this is an easy and fun game to introduce. We also played it with a bigger group, but split into teams. It worked well. The quality of the pieces is great and it seems like the game will last a long time.

Great games for the family
I received this game for free in an exchange for a honest review. My kids and I loved this game. The rules are very simple and clear. The cards are a mix of fun questions that work for kids and adults. It is very easy for a game to last several rounds because it’s so much fun to shout answers and sometimes hear ridiculous stuff come out.

Fun for variety of ages
We received this game for testing and an honest review. My 10 yr old and i thoroughly enjoyed this game. Simple enough that we can easily play, but with the time crunch thrown in, makes it competitive. With the time limit it makes the playing field a little more even with the age difference. I froze a few times trying to think fast. We've played this a few times now and with all the choices of questions we haven't repeated anything yet. A great game to take along when traveling and going to be added to our stack to take camping with us. Looks like it will also be a lot of fun when we add more players when we are out camping.

3 words: Fun, Quick, Challenging
We received this game to sample in exchange for our honest review. As a mom and teacher I really enjoyed this game. We played with ages 8-grandma and everyone had a blast. I love that even if the topic was too tricky for some they could still end up winning the card if others were unsuccessful. The game play has simple rules, but hours of fun. Attention can be hard for my kids, but this game has everyone paying attention with little wait time between turns because you can't repeat answers already said. The timer is exciting and I love that there are no batteries required. My kids have asked to bring this game along to play with friends and especially like bringing it when we go to places we might need to wait like restaurants. I am already brainstorming ways I could utilize this in my classroom and might even add a few education related cards, like "name 3 factors of 42" or "3 words with the prefix un-". This game will definitely stay front and center in the game cabinet as a family favorite.

Excellent Game
Nice edition to family game night. We had a lot of fun playing this game. It is easy to set up and cleanup. Plenty of cards so that the game can be played over and over without repeating cards. Fun to watch everyone try to come up with answers in such a short time . The more people that do the same card the harder it gets because you can’t repeat words. Will definitely be adding this to our game night rotation.

Great family fun!
This game is so much fun! I love that it's easy to follow, and easy to play. My eight year old especially liked that the timer has little balls that roll down a ramp rather than the traditional sand timer. She also liked that it made a "silly" noise when you flip the timer over. The cards are easy for children to understand and it's a great thinking game for both children and adults. I really like that you can easily play with 2 people or a lot more. There are plenty of cards so the game doesn't get repetitive at all. It keeps us on our toes, we laugh, and we have a lot of fun! I would definitely recommend this game to others.

Great game for 2 or more people
We received this game to sample in exchange for our honest review. There are only two of us in the household- an adult and a 15 year old. This game was great for just two people and we plan to bring it with us to a game night we have monthly with a bunch of friends. It is a super fun game and easy to learn quick. The questions on the card are good for a wide age range. I even think you could easily have this in the car for road trips. Great game for families or group of friends.
