It’s in The Bag - Ultimate Family Game for Game Night, 3 Rounds of Wild Easy Fun! New Redesign of the Viral Party Game for Adults, Groups, and Kids - 25-30 Minutes, 4+ Players

Fun family game. Everyone who’s played it has really enjoyed it. Good for various ages.

Great game. Loads a fun for a group of four people or more

We have regular game nights with our group of friends. It can be challenging to find a fun game for larger groups that’s appealing to everyone. We play a lot of Telestrations, Code Names, King of Tokyo (with expansion pack). This game - It's in the Bag – has become the absolute favorite. It's just the right amount of pressure and hilarity. Our group often includes teens and even they love it which is saying a lot!! It's called It's in the Bag because a specific number of cards (depending on your group size) go into a secret bag and these are the cards used throughout the game. It's played in teams, three rounds - first round a clue giver describes the word or phrase on as many cards as possible for his teammates to guess before the VERY short timer runs out. Then the bag is passed to the other team where their clue giver gets a chance. The bag is passed back and forth between teams until all of the cards have been correctly guessed. During the second round the clue givers can only say one word to describe the card. Everyone has seen all of the cards in the bag from the first round so it’s not as hard as it sounds. Third round you act out the card. It’s like charades but faster and much funnier. The timer is short so the clue giver doesn’t have time to act out typical charades signals and the guessers are trying to remember a word that they’ve already seen. We feel like it greatly diminishes the stress of regular charades. Each round is scored but it really doesn’t matter who wins. It’s just that fun! As I said, even the teens vote for this game!

Played on Christmas Day with parents, grandparents, and kids from 5-14. Everyone got into it quickly-a simple concept that is easily adaptable, and can be as long or short as you wish

I bought "It's in the Bag, Junior" along with the standard "It's in the Bag" for my daughter's family for Christmas (2 adults, 5 kids ages 2-17). We used both games together and the younger children used the Junior cards and the teenagers and adults used the standard cards. It was a blast! My oldest grandchild was tasked with reading the rules before game night, so she explained the game to all of us in just a few minutes. We had so much fun and laughed a lot. The children are already asking for another game night to play "It's in the Bag." I highly recommend this fun, action-packed game for families. There are enough cards that it can be played over and over again without repeats. Here's how we played...Divide into two teams: First Round: Describe the word (or pictures for the little ones), without saying the word (like the game Taboo) Second Round: Describe the word/picture using only one word Third Round: Use charades to describe the word. At the end of each round, count how many cards your team guessed. High score wins. There were 9 of us, so it was not as easy as you might think to remember words that were guessed in a previous round. The more people that play, the more fun it is. I think it would be great for large gatherings.

We had a great time playing this game! There are 7 of us, with kids ages 5-14. Even the older kids enjoyed it! Our 5 year old was able to dive right in, and our 5th grader wants to play with friends for his birthday party. Kids can run it by themselves, too. It's charades with a twist - in round one you can only use words to describe your cards, and those same cards are used in round two, which is acting out the cards. The little kids particularly loved that, and felt awesome for remembering fast enough to win. The timer is quick, so it's a challenge, and keeps the game moving at a fast pace. Perfect for a silly fun and quick game (the first time playing only took 30 min. total). One thing we suggest: make use of the categories. The cards are divided into 3 categories (animals/ people and body/ fun and games) The youngest kiddos can describe cards from the animal category (like shark) easier than the fun and games category (like hide and seek), so stack the bag with cards from the animal category. I love that it this game includes as many people as would like to play, it's coming with us to our family Christmas party.

So fun!

Every Christmas, my family participates in a ‘game gift exchange’ and this is one of the games that was brought. We played it later that evening and had so much fun! Play is pretty simple and straightforward – you split all participants into 2 teams and then put place 4 cards from a chosen category in the bag for each player involved (for example, 4 players = 16 cards in the bag). (you can mix categories to make it harder or remain within a single category to keep it easier). Start the 30 second timer, pull out a card, and start ROUND 1-(talk to describe the words to your team). If your team guesses the card before 30 seconds, pull out another card and keep going until time is out. Round 1 is over when both teams have taken turns and all cards are guessed from the bag. Do the same for ROUND 2 (one word description-say 1 word to describe the card (still using the same cards that were in the bag so it helps if your team remembers the cards from round 1). The final round is round 3 (Act it out, only actions, no sound… still using the same cards from the bag). After all rounds are finished, you tally up your points and the winner is the team with the highest number. (Each card has a number written on it for point accumulation). There are a total of 5 different categories and the categories are VERY general (which makes it a little hard sometimes)…. The categories are as follows: PEOPLE: about people, their characteristics, and daily actions (example cards- vomit, birth, superman, hiccup, spaghetti, Shakira). RECREATION AND SPORTS about anything sport related : (example cards- guitar, baseball, protein shake, dominoes, mouth guard). ENTERTAINMENT: about movies, shows, and entertainment details (example cards - wifi, ghost, hairspray, friends, excitement, groundhog day). LOCATIONS: about places in the world (example cards - chimney, dinner table, tour, stoplight, farm). OUTDOORS: about animals, nature, or anything outdoors (example cards- meat, plant, gloves, panther, exit). Overall, a fun, family friendly game for people of all ages!

Great game ! At times like theses - we need to find some laughter and fun too...this game delivered it ! We smiled again, which hasn’t happened for a while ! Thanks you for prompt delivery too !!
