Twister

An absolutely hilarious game! Great for parties, as an ice breaker, for kids, for families..ok lets cut this short.. great for everyone!Spin the pointer see where it lands and thats where you have to put you hand/foot etc.It is really fun to play and will have you all in stitches by the end. Bonus for small children here, learning left from right ( i guess some adults too, you know who you are still making an L with your left hand to check :P) and colours etc.When i play i like to put a small ( very small or it is too hard) amount of washing up liquid to make it more slippy ( obviously watch for the health and safety here guys! Padding and removal of dangerous items e.g. painful chair legs is required).The only bad things i can think about this is that the circles do fade after a while ( all those sweaty feet don't help i guess!)Finally the hardest thing about this game....fitting it back into the box, once you've got it out...thats it i'm afraid, no matter how much you fold it, it will always be that little bit too big, its nothing that an elastic band and some squashing skills cant fix though.Pretty inexpensive for such a famous game, so what are you waiting for..click buy :P

...oh dear, what a misery I must be. I really don't like Twister. I don't want to play contortionist games with my children, so my heart sinks whenever Twister comes out of the cupboard. Our spinning board is slightly warped so the arrow ALWAYS finishes on the same direction - LH Yellow - which is fine on the rare occasions when I get to be the spinner because I just lie and make up my own fiendish directions, but it sure makes for a dull game in the hands of a 5 year old spinner - "Left hand, yellow, AGAIN, mum", she cries as my back spasms worsen and I sob softly, gazing at my rioja and "Heat!" sitting temptingly by the sofa. I'm sure so many others find this brilliant fun, but I can always find something funnier to do.

Great toy bought for my son now 8, he loves it...I bought as I used to play with this when I was a child, not half as well made as it used to be, a little tricky to put together would need an adult to do it. Great family fun though. A shame it is only 4 player, only 4 sections to balls to fall into.Arrived very quickly in mint condition

I use this game for occupational therapy. It is great fun and the children are practicing balance, co ordination, spacial awareness and planning without even realising. My only critisism is that the mat is made of thin plastic. As the children twist around the mat is becoming distorted. It also slips on both carpet and flooring. Would have been happier to pay a little more for a higher quality mat.

The quality is really good, but I think that at some point the nylon will break. If they can make one from cotton tissue, it will be the best. Because of the dog we have, the whole nylon got in dog hair and it is hard to remove. But despite that, it is a great game :) Would recommend it.

I loved twister when I was a girl, and loved it when I played it with my Uncle after my wedding! This was bought for my 7 year old Godson and his 9 year old brother and they both love it now. My girls (ages 4 & 5) love trying to join in for an extra challenge! Perfect for a bit of indoor exercise when it's raining or as a BBQ/picnic game in the summer. A timeless classic for the whole family :)

I have adapted the game for use in a primary school. The children I work with have lots of fun learning their times tables whilst playing Twister. In fact, they have so much fun, that they don't actually realise they are learning. As they are tested at the end of their game, I have proof that they are learning while they are playing. A great game on its own and a wonderful learning resource for those who sometimes struggle to keep pace with their peers.

Great fun party game. Exactly as you'd expect it to be. We could only get a max of 3 of us playing! that's because we're all tall!Good quality mat and spinner board.
