Toys and Games Reviews of Twister
Customer Review: A classic for all ages really
Summary: 4 Stars
Surely everyone knows Twister? My first encounter was when my sister got the game for her birthday in 1976.
She and her friends had a ball with it at her party, then the adults had a go; or rather the Dads.
The Mums all seemed to wear frocks in those days and they didn't want to disgrace themselves at my Sister's party! The Dads on the other hand, would be really dumb at the drop of a hat to make us kids laugh.
I remember it being fun whatever age I was (I played a lot of games at college and we were all pretty giddy with wine then, much like the Dads back in 76!).
You can't fail to enjoy it, just be careful if your back is troubled or you have any injuries that are healing. Oh and be careful if you play with someone with stinky feet! the game really is a "shoes off" number, This is a fine idea but I remember back in 76 one of the Dads was not so sweet and one of my college buddies was rank! This means the mat needs a wipe down occassionally, otherwise there is a unfortunate lasting pong every time you open the box!!
Customer Review: Just a whole lot of laughs!

This is a game that has been around for a lot of years that can get a good belly laugh from any age group young or old. This is a wonderful game to pull out on unsuspecting guests! Ha Ha HA!! It is even more hilarious to play after you have conned the reluctant player into participating. It is a great way for even the stiffest of the stiffs to learn to laugh at themselves in a healthy way that will leave them with funnybone memories for years to come. I love it when the adults play this with the kids because it lets the kids see that adults don't always have to be prim and proper and that they love to have fun too. When it gets clumsy is the best time because you really are able to bond with others when you see them unable to keep an impossible reach and learn that nobody is perfect and that is what is great about everyone as an individual.Customer Review: Twist N' Shout For Twister

Hello! It's Nessie :).
Come on, we have another classic game here. How can you deny it?
Twister is game where someone spins a cardboard spinner and calls out right foot blue, left hand green etc. In the end, the 2 players end up in a really funny position.
This game is great for a rainy Saturday. Play some nice, upbeat music, and you got yourself a cheaper and more active alternative to the movies.
Or, make Twister a lively party game. Twister tournaments work wonders as a party attraction!
There are may differnt possibilties and MORe funny positions you can find yourself in! Kids love it and grownups to. Sometimes it's fun to have a wacky position competition. I suggest you buy this toy 100%!
Good Luck!
Nessie!!
Customer Review: Contortionism for the Masses
Summary: 4 Stars
This game is probably one of the simplest, but also most difficult games to play well. It requires a level of dexterity that can easily become unmanageable, though it is extremely entertaining to see people try.
The game mat is pretty strong, made of thick plastic sheeting that can stand up to most punishment a crowd can dish out. It is recommended that one should play without shoes, as instructed, as this will preserve the playing mat for longer.
The game is great at parties, if you want something fun for everyone, (including adults). However, those with flexibility or joint problems might want to exercise caution.
In short, "Twister" is a fun game for just about anywhere that a group of people are. It is simple, hard, and lots of fun, (even for the spectators).
Customer Review: Classic!

This is just like I remember it! Spinner spins the arrow and around it goes...Great for young and old. We play this game at just about every birthday party and the grown ups love to have a turn!
Has some great educational value. This game has helped my DD's learn colors and lefts and rights. Though they are small and can't reach all the spots across the board. They have a blast! For adults you need to think about how you move. Because it could effect your next move.
Durable: So far so good! Even with 3 young kids who use it for other purposes. Cape...dance mat...house
