Mattel Games Interrogation Trivia Slime Game with Crane, Bag of Slime and 112 Cards, Team Quiz for Adults and Teens, Makes a Great Game for 14 Year Olds and up

In the world of family/party games (not EVER to be confused with video games) each generation gets the games that seem to reflect their times, the best ones covering generations.Thus, in the 1930s there were a lot of games the winner of which got great financial, physical, rewards. "Monopoly" is the best known.Later generations had role-playing war games (starting with "Dungeons & Dragons"), intellectually stimulating "I know more than you do" knowledege games ("Trivial Pursuit", "Jeopardy"), etc.I'm not sure exactly what it tells us about our current times, but the last few years have been about "How disgusting can we make this one?"We've had games involving (fake) snot and games involving the fling of (again, fake) poop.This year's offering is the above offering (REAL) slimeAnd, if you bring the proper mind set, it's a LOT of fun even with the annoying set-up needed (not really that much, but it can...um... annoy)If you DON'T bring the proper mind set: Fooey on you-ey!

A game where you answer trivia questions as quick as you can to avoid getting slimed. Can be played with two teams, one is the interrogator and one is the subject. You put together the crane, have the people lay under it . Slime is inside the syringe that comes with it. Beaker hangs from crane. When asking questions you can decide if you want to ask the easy or hard questions on the card. Goal is to answer as fast as possible so you don't get slimed. Whoever gets three rounds wins. Comes with a beaker/syringe and a few parts for the crane. Crane was easy to assemble and took a few seconds-minutes to get up and working. Comes with a bunch of cards with different questions on them from easy to hard. For example "What Breed Of Dog Is Snoopy?", and "Who Is Spider Man's Alter Ego"?... questions range from easy to more difficult. The questions are on the front and back of the card. You also get a green bag of slime in the box. Overall, fun game for age 14 and up.

Honestly slime is super thin and comes out so fast you only have time for one question it's a great idea just not well executed.

I'm a member of a board game group. We meet twice a month and rotate who hosts. All in my group are over 50. We probably aren't the demographic this game was made for, but we love trivia games, having fun and being silly.Here's the problem....this game requires enough open floor space for two people to lay down side by side on the floor. There must be a table edge overhanging the place they lay down. You clamp the crane thing that holds the slime onto the edge of the table and it has to hover over the heads of the two people on the floor.First house--had enough open space, with a table overhanging it, but floor was cold, hard, ceramic tile and no one was thrilled about having to lay on it. So we decided not to play this game and use it next time.Second house-had nice warm carpet to lay on, but there was no open area large enough for two adults with a table edge near by.Third house-had an open area big enough for two, had a table edge and was carpeted! We all gathered and I started to read the directions out loud. Then I came to the part that said that the slime might stain carpet. Hostess immediately had reservations so we decided not to try it if she wasn't comfortable with it.Fourth house...The last house actually has a game room, all done up in 1950's Elvis theme. There was enough floor space, though it was on a laminate, but desperate to finally play this we decided to lay towels/blankets on the floor to lay on. There was a table with an edge. We were set to go, finally! But when we went to clamp on the crane we realized the table was a 1950's style table with a drop edge that was about 5" and had nothing behind it to clamp on to.So, we have officially given up on playing this game with the crane and slime. We took the question cards, and a timer from another game, and made up our own game. The questions are good, some are deliberately misleading and if you had slime dripping towards you and you were trying to answer quickly I see how they would trip you up.Despite our ages, we did like the concept of this game. But it would be better if the threat/slime was something you could put on a table top and the slime would not stain carpet.

Got this game for rainy days at the cabin. Played several times over the weekend. Everyone had a blast. Turned into a drinking game.

Need a little hand? Try this game out lol. The little hands are the highlight of this game and you can do all kinds of funny stuff with them. This game is super fun and has lots of laughs included and all ages will like to play this game so it is a true family night game. You can play this game 3 different ways so it comes with lots of options and you can also customize it to your own liking like we did. If you don't have this one in your game collection you are really missing out. 4 BIG stars.

I gave it two stars because it did come with everything it said it would.My problems with it were;The slime is too wet. It leaves a residue on everything and stinks. I would NEVER drop this on someone's face/head. I didn't even want to touch it.Too much setup and the pieces were a bit difficult to fit together.The questions are far too easy, even for children.All in all it's a waste, I ended up throwing it out.

Song slime to traditional game play is a great idea. Interesting and fun to play for many ages.Great way to add a modern touch to an ancient pastime.
