Product Description
Grab it, guess it and pass it. The Electronic Catchphrase game challenges you to come up with words and then pass the game fast so you don’t get caught holding the bag. Can you give your teammates the right clues so they can guess the word or phrase on the game unit’s screen? You can’t rhyme or use first letters or parts of the word, or the other team gets a point. Once your team has guessed it, pass the unit fast to the other team. When the buzzer goes off, whoever has the unit loses a point to the other side, so move fast. When your team gets to 7 points, you win. Catchphrase and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.

This game is so much fun! It’s like a mash-up of Taboo and Hot Potato. I disliked it at first, as it doesn’t really reward skill- you could be very good at describing your word, but if the timing is against you, there’s nothing you can do. I love the game Taboo and I’m quite good at it so playing this game was frustrating at first…but after playing a few times with friends I realized it’s really not so much about winning or scoring points, but the gameplay itself is wild and hilarious. I’d rather lose and have a blast; laughing so hard till I’m crying and/or peeing my pants- than win at an intense, competitive game.
The categories are Entertainment, Everyday Life, Fun & Games, The World, and Variety- which is really the only category we ever play on since it draws content from all the other categories. Once in a while you’ll get a phrase, person, place or thing that’s a bit obscure, but overall most everyone can play on anything that comes up. (We are pretty hard-core about our “skip” policy- one per person per round, and someone on the opposing team has to “approve” your skip.)
I love that you don’t have to set up any boards, game pieces, shuffle any cards or pass out fake money- this game is so easy to just pick up and go. Easy to bring to a party or to travel with- it will fit in a normal-sized purse. The gameplay and rules are easy to explain, if you’ve never played before all you really have to do is watch one or two people go before you and you’ll know what to do.
The only thing I would change about this game is adding an on/off switch to the unit. If it’s idle for a while it turns itself off, but, if this is in your bag and something jostles one of the buttons, it starts the countdown sound and won’t go off until you hit the “stop” button at the top. Slightly annoying when you’re toting this game around, but not the worse thing ever. Just don’t bring it into a funeral or something.
Overall, awesome fun game, don’t hesitate to pick this up! Grab a beer and let’s play!

Most people probably don’t know that you can no longer send electronics containing lithium batteries to military APO/FPO addresses. That’s not a special military requirement, it’s a USPS requirement as lithium batteries are apparently potentially dangerous when being transported in airplane cargo holds. The down side to that is that it limits your choices in electronics you can send to soldiers as most newer products have rechargeable lithium batteries inside.
This handheld gaming device runs on alkaline batteries, can be sent to military addresses and this is about as good as it gets for handheld electronic games that run on alkaline batteries. It has a large color LCD screen, the games are entertaining and it has decent battery life even running on alkaline batteries, but I suggest you include a package of alkaline batteries in your order for uninterrupted game play.
This game is very popular and a great distraction. I recommend this as a terrific gift option for your to send to your soldier.

I tested it with a group of my friends who’s English is their second language, and it was a riot! It’s interesting to find out who’s more competitive than others, how couples communicate with each other, and how people extract information and communicate their thoughts.
One party, we played with 14 people until 2AM! I had this game for a couple of months now, and have played it at home with my boyfriend and in groups approximately 20 times, and I have yet to come across the same word or catch phrase.
The only complaint I have about this product, is that when in large groups and it’s loud, it’s very difficult for everyone to hear the buzzer go off. If it vibrated, that would be fantastic!
I would definitely get this game if you’re looking for fun easy games for parties, friends, and even couples. I actually think it’d also be great for people that are trying to practice their English because it makes you explain catch phrases that you might not even know the meaning of or ever heard. All in all, a fun great product.
