My daughter loves this game
by Nicole (5 out of 5 stars)

This game is great for family game nights. My 5 year old daughter loves it. The game came with 6 resizable headbands, a deck of picture cards, a small hourglass timer, playing chips, 3 "�sample questions' cards, and instructions. I like that a lot of people can participate, and it's an easy game to play. I highly recommend this game for your little ones.

An actually fun game for almost all ages
by Wild Wise Woman (5 out of 5 stars)

I generally loathe board games, and when one of my in-laws drags them out I try to slip away or find an excuse not to play. But I watched a round of this, and jumped in and wanted to play! With a group of a dozen people aged 9-81 (those who didn't have headbands had to put their card face down and hold it up during their turn), we had a fantastic time playing this crazy game.

So I ordered my own set to play with the 3 children I nanny for, and while they are a little young, and only one can read, I pre-selected easily recognizable cards and they caught on very quickly! I didn't use the timer for the little ones, because everyone gets to participate in everyone else's turn, so they don't get impatient. My only complain is that the newer cards, in the edition I purchased, have much more "stylized" illustrations on them, so there were some simple words that I had to pull from the deck, because the kids weren't likely to guess the right word.

Great game for children albeit with limited replay value
by Travis Packard (4 out of 5 stars)

Purchased this game as a Christmas present for my nephew. Finally had a chance to play it for the first time a few weeks ago. I was thinking it would be pretty easy for us adults playing a kids game, I was wrong. We played with 3 adults, a teenager, and a 6 year old. The 6 year old was able to do better than half the people! I think this speaks volumes to how good of a kids game this actually is. It can be equally challenging for everyone.

The game play itself is a self guided question game. Everyone has a "hedbanz", which is just what they call their plastic headbands that are included with the game. Each player places a card on their respective hedbanz. Everyone can see your card, except you. Your card has an illustration in addition to the description of what it is. The game includes a card with sample questions, but my group of players found that most of those questions were useless on most of the cards. You begin the game with three playing chips in front of you and a timer. When the timer begins you ask yes or no questions about your card. If you guess your card correctly before the timer runs out you get to give up a playing chip and continue with a new card until the timer runs out. After that point play passes to the next player, while you keep the card that stumped you. You continue with this card until you guess it correctly. The first player to get rid of all three chips wins the game!

The only reason I knocked off a star is due to the replay value. It seems there are about 50 cards that come with the came. If you play a round with 5 people those 50 cards do not go very far at all. With my group of 5 we went through approximately 10 cards during a session of this game. That means that after approximately 5 times playing this game you will begin to repeat cards. This will obviously hurt the replay value. Perhaps this is something that can be solved with an expansion at some point.

So fun!

I'm a speech therapist and this game gets all of my students excited about speech. It targets making inferences, using descriptive words, asking questions, responding to yes/no questions and turn taking skills. Best of all, many of my students have this game at home so they can generalize their skills. Love it!

Kids love it, easy and quick to get started, with endless opportunities to INNOVATE!
by Orange Monkey (5 out of 5 stars)

How does it work?

A headband on your head, holding a card with a picture that only the others can see.

The person with the headband is to guess what's on the card.

Why get it?

Kids love it. This game is one of the first things my 8-year-old's friends pull out (and we have at least 40 board games) and want to play, every time they come over.

Replay value?

As other reviewers have pointed out, the replay value is limited due to a limited number of cards. That is if you play by the rules. There are so many ways to improvise with this game, and that includes adding different cards, making your own, attaching post-it notes to the cards.

So if that's the case, why get it all?

Because it makes you PLAY. We all have ideas about doing charades and 20-questions (Alexa makes us do that more often) but the beauty of this games is ITS SIMPLICITY. You pull it out. You get started in 2 minutes.

It reminds you to PLAY.

Anyone can play, and you can adjust for everyone's level. Great for learning how to think about sorting big amounts of data. Great for learning how to phrase questions. Great communication activity. Lots of laughters and fun.

by Amazon Customer (5 out of 5 stars)

We actually purchased this game at the recommendation of my daughter's speech therapist - she was doing great in the speech therapy office and said all of her sounds perfectly, because she was focused on it. Her problem was when she was excited about something and talking too fast; all her sounds got jumbled and she was difficult to understand. Playing this game helped her spontaneously use the proper sounds for each letter, because she was invested in playing and wanted to win AND be understood when giving clues. Worked like a charm. On top of it all, the whole family had fun playing this together.

Great fun!

I ordered the HedBanz adult edition and then went through the cards and eliminated certain cards so I could use them with my teenage youth group. The words weren't bad (one was "bra.) but I wanted to avoid silly teenage giggles as much as possible.

It is one of the most fun games the kids play. There are headbands for six, but you can use a regular head band across the forehead to hold a card and more kids can play. One boy put his cap on backwards and used the strap in the back to hold his card.

We have played this with adults too and we end up laughing until we cry.

Great game. Easy to play. Lots of fun.

Fun game for a bit
by Chris (3 out of 5 stars)

Fun game for a bit, but you better have a good attention span. After a while it can be frustrating and monotonous. I suggest alternating the rules by allowing others to give hints for the duration of the timer as opposed to playing 20 questions.

DON'T BUY THE JUNIOR VERSION
by K. Valetti (1 out of 5 stars)
August 11, 2019

My son's speech therapist had the regular version of this game it was lots of fun for my son to play so I bought the junior as my son just turned six, but it is very simple and limited to guessing 24 animals. Some r hard and the first time u play is lots of fun but after u know what animals r included it really isn't much fun as there's not much challenge. It really needs way more simple cards to b fun. It would b easy to make your own simple cards if u wanted to draw pictures or cut out things to put on note cards, but next time would definitely buy the regular version which isn't too hard for my son and lots of fun.
