Description

Between weird prompts and your friends’ absurd things and answers, That Escalated Quickly Game might be our funniest game yet. First, read out a simple question (ex., I’m locked in a tiny room. What else is locked in here with me from cutest to scariest?). Then everyone is assigned a secret number from one to ten. Next, each player gives an answer to the question, and the intensity of that answer is based on their secret number (ex. 1 = a bunny, 10 = a grizzly bear with chainsaw arms). Finally, the person who read the question has to quickly review, try and number cards into the correct order. If they get it right, everyone wins.

    This game only gets better when played with a bigger handful of friends! It’s best when the group knows one another pretty well, so the answers are even more hilariously tailored to those playing.

    This game can work for multiple audiences, like family or friends, since it relies on individual creativity. I've been playing this with my family and we like each other more than when we try to play monopoly.

    Best New Game This Season

    This has been our teens favorite new game this season! They are eager and asking US parents to play with them. It's easy to teach, quick to play, and a fun way to get to know their friends even better.

    Could be a fun game, I don’t know. Really only a game for 4 or more players. For 2-3 to play the game they have to pretend to be multiple players.

    We play-tested this game with 5 people, 3 adults and 2 teenagers. I was initially worried about the level of spontaneity and improv required, but it was not an issue at all. The questions are fun and the whole group got really creative immediately. We were laughing out loud pretty continuously throughout the several rounds that we played. We had at least one card that was really tricky to rank, but we were able to successfully rank the majority of the cards every time. This game is really fun, and very easy to play a couple quick rounds!

    It was one of the easiest games to teach/learn/play ever. The cooperative nature of the game made people who didn't normally like to play for long REALLY enjoy playing with us. I loved listening to the wild and weird answers that were given, and learn that what a 5 is to me is a 9 to someone else. All in all, great game, good for close friends, ice breaker groups, and large age gaps. Will totally add to our travel bag to play more often.

    Every week a motley group gets together for Souper Tuesday (because we have soup and we are super and it's on a Tuesday). I finally got a chance to bust out this game and play it - It was great! Fairly easy set up - a fairly quick start and even though we had a wide range of ages, humor, and game-playing experience - by round 3 we were really having fun. It took us a few rounds to get the hang of it, but it's worth it. A little clunky to word the Least to Best scale each time, but not terrible to figure out. It's great for all kinds of people to be able to play - we have a range of over the top show monkeys to pretty quiet folks and we were all able to collaborate and have a great time.

    I played it with a group of college guys and we honestly had more fun than I thought we would. We had a blast and even improved a couple of rules (acting out the response if possible with the card). It would maybe benefit from some way to compete on a more individual level, but other than that, it is a really fun game for all ages.

    We played That Escalated Quickly at our local coffee shop and had a blast!! It took us a couple of rounds to comprehend the rules (as it usually does 🤪). We loved the concept of trying to read the minds of the others in a diverse group. I’m a “the answer is right in front of me *grab*” person and my friend is a “let me consider all options from all over the multiverse” person so our rankings were quite diverse!!Minimal disappointment: it would have been nice to have a little card stand for the question card.Ultimately it was great to make our brains work and if you’re down for that THIS is your game!!

    I played with a group of teenagers so we were all a little goofy, but the game was really fun! The categories were really all over the place so trying to figure out where your "6" card would fit against someone else's "7" was maddening for some and hilarious for all of us!
