Get ready to reach and stretch your way around the other players in this wacky party classic! Listen to the body part and color that the referee calls out. When you hear “Left Foot… Yellow!” put your left foot on the yellow circle on the mat. Sounds easy, but soon enough you’ll find yourself reaching around the other players to follow the ref’s directions. Don’t fall over and be the last player standing to win!Over forty years old and going strong! Soon after its release in 1966, Twister was made instantly popular when Johnny Carson and Eva Gabor played it on The Tonight Show. Such a simple concept, with so much potential for hilarity. The game includes a plastic mat with red, blue, yellow, and green spots; a spinner; and instructions. To play (as if you didn’t already know…), two to four players face each other, with the plastic mat in the center. A referee spins the spinner, then calls out the body part and the color the arrow points to (“Left foot, blue,” “Right hand, yellow”). All players, at the same time, follow the directions, placing the appropriate body part on a vacant circle. Players become increasingly entangled, until someone (or everyone) finally topples, and is eliminated. The last person standing—er, crouching—wins. If this doesn’t bring families and friends (and celebrities) closer together, we don’t know what does! Out-and-out fun. –Emilie Coulter
Even more fun than when I was a kid! Twister was one of our favorite games when we were kids in the 1960’s & 1970’s, so I thought it might make a good gift for young boy. He and his sister love it!It has all of the simplicity of the version we played as kids, but also a few additional twists that add laughs to the game. Rather than simple “left foot red” movements only, some spots call for putting a foot or hand in the air, which sometimes adds imbalance. There is also an additional set of commands that combine…
Fun fun fun I bought this as a gift for my niece and nephew (they are 6) and they love it. I gave it to them about 6 months ago and they wanted to play it all weekend. This past weekend I went to their house for the first time in months and they whipped the game out to play again! A lot of times, I give them a present and it’s fun for a while but doesn’t last – this does. It’s also made of a much more heavy duty plastic than when the game first came out when I was young so it’s much more durable. The…
just as fun for grown ups got this for a ‘kids birthday’ themed keg party. Super funny watching 24 year olds play this. You forget the natural athletic ability that we all had as kids. It reminded everyone how out of shape,fat and non flexible we all are.
