Honestly, I didn’t think this game was going to be the hit that it was. However, I went to a gathering of people and I brought it along, and we ended up playing it for hours straight.
I would recommend playing it with either 4 or 6 people, and following the rules (which are incredibly simple). This game would be fun for any age range– my friends and I are all in our 20s, but this could be fun regardless of age.

This game is great because it takes hardly any time to learn how to play it, and it’s a lot of fun. Some of the clues are hard, but there’s stuff in there for all generations. We bought this after hearing it being played on a local radio station. Great party or family game (probably teenage and up).

This was truly one of the funnest games we have ever played.
The beauty of this game is that the entire family from the grandparents on down will really enjoy this.

The fun doesn’t end. Buzz word is high pressure, high fun, and our new go to game. It is very similar to Outburst, and if you like Outburst you’ll love Buzz Word.
It’s a team game and the teams can be as big as you like. I would suggest at least 4 players per team to make it interesting. The game consists of about 500 cards with a “Buzz Word” and 10 clues. Each team has a reader (everyone takes turn being the reader) while the others guess. The reader first announces the buzz word (e.g. “ball”), then he proceeds to read the clues on the card (e.g. “On top of spaghetti”), then the team shouts out the answers bearing in mind that the answer must contain the buzz word (e.g. meatball). There is a timer, so the quicker and clearer the reader can give clues and the quicker the team guesses the better chance they have of getting all 10 words.
It is loads of fun. Having a team makes it especially great because there is usually gonna be someone that comes through in the clutch when everyone else is stumped. This game can be played over and over again and you will never tire of it.

I won’t repeat what others have said, but what I will say is two things:
1. Use an electronic kitchen timer. This will save squabbling and gives the cluegiver a better judge on time
2. This game would be easy without a time limit. It’s the 45-second limit which makes this game so hard. Having to decide when to give up the ghost on a clue and go on to the next is part of the fun. I highly recommend this!
