About this item

Between our weird prompts and your friends’ weirder answers, this 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 try and sort those answers into the correct order. If they get it right everyone wins! This is a collaboration with Cocktail Games based on their Spiel de Jahres Game of the Year nominated title, Top Ten. ®

Best party game we own

Ariana G. · 2026-01-26

We played this with friends last weekend and it was a huge hit. The prompts are just weird enough to get everyone thinking creatively, and trying to rank everyone's answers often leads to side-splitting debates. It's quickly become a favorite for our larger gatherings, perfect for getting everyone engaged and laughing.

Bought this for a monthly game night and it was a hit. The prompts are genuinely funny and everyone gets to contribute. We had a few answers that really surprised us, making the ranking part super entertaining.

Creative and engaging

Melissa H. · 2025-10-31 · Verified purchase

This game is a breath of fresh air compared to other party games. It genuinely encourages creativity and quick thinking from everyone, rather than just relying on trivia or charades. The social deduction aspect, trying to gauge how intense someone’s answer really is, adds a fun layer of strategy. It’s definitely a crowd-pleaser that gets everyone talking and laughing. Perfect for a casual evening with friends or family.

The game's fun depends heavily on the group dynamic and how creative people are with answers.
