Ransom Notes - The Ridiculous Word Magnet Party Game, 3+ Players

It's a fun, think out of the box kind of game that is group friend, the topics are hilarious and witty. The game itself is fantastic quality and has the best storage bag for all of the magnets. I am really happy that I purchased this game for my ladies weekend away, we laughed so hard over what we came up with. Ransom Notes came with a cute card from the creators, which to me, made it extra perfect!

Cards against humanity meets mad libs. My 24 year old son and I adapted the game for 2 players and had a great holiday afternoon playing. There are several suggestions for game adaptations and it's very easy and hilarious to play. Our favorite responses came together like a short, two chapter tale following the single prompt: "describe the history of humanity": "UFO releases rogue beast. Darkness." "We grunt bro." The only negatives are that the word magnets are challenging for a person with joint pain or hand related mobility issues to take apart, and they are kinda low quality with just an unprotected paper front that wants to separate from the magnet backing as you separate them from each other, and that I predict will fade very quickly with use. The good news is that the words can easily be replaced with adhesive printer labels. But it would be nice (especially for the price of this game) if they were just made better and if you didn't have to spend a painful laborious hour to separate them in the first place. Now that the words are all apart, I think we will play this game quite often and I look forward to playing with a larger group as well. Edit to add that we have since played the game with a larger group, including my 13 year old nephew and would like to add that while the structure of the game play is similar to cards against humanity, my sister pointed out that this game is better because it is suitable for younger players as well. There are a few prompts that might be iffy, but you can always skip or exclude them easily and without reducing your game quality.

Oh my word!! This can be SUCH a hilarious game!! I end up crying with laughter!! It can take a couple of rounds for people to get comfortable being silly, but it is great for your mental health, and can be an ice breaker. It is easy to understand, and I love that the whole game packs up into a smallish box!! You could even make your own cards to use as a review game in school. We do bend they rules a bit (re: how many word tiles you can have, and sometimes we play in teams to add more people). I recommend putting the magnets on the "back" of the tray-- so the pieces can slide right off. Be prepared to have fun!!

This game is genuinely funny once you get going. We had a wide age range playing, from 12 to over 60, and everyone was able to participate and laugh. It works well for mixed groups and different personalities. The biggest downside is setup. It takes a while to separate and organize everything before you can actually start playing. If someone wants to sort or arrange the pieces in a certain way, it adds even more time. Because of that, we do not pull it out as often as we probably would otherwise. If you do not mind a longer setup, it is a fun group activity. Just plan for the extra time before gameplay actually begins.

Great game, great fun. We end up taking pics of our results and the prompt cards bc they are so out there and funny. Enjoy a game where winning is not the point as everyone's answers are unique.

I picked up Ransom Notes for game nights with friends. We were looking for something quick, easy to play, and guaranteed to get laughs when people are tired of the same old card games. We played with 5 of us on a Friday night: players pull random magnets, draw a prompt (like “Tell someone you've clogged their toilet at a party”), and scramble to build the funniest sentence. It took under a minute for everyone to get the hang of it. Pros Instantly funny, even with people who don’t consider themselves “game-night kind of people.” Incredibly easy to learn; there are no complicated rules or long instructions. Endless replayability thanks to 840 magnets + 250 prompts. Great for group settings or parties; works well even with larger groups if you team up. Compact packaging: very easy to store or throw in a bag for travel. Cons / what to know Humor leans toward absurd and sometimes crass. If you’re playing with kids or more conservative folks, you might want to pre-screen / skip certain prompts. Some magnets feel a little small if you prefer larger print / words. This could be tricky under dim lighting or for folks with large hands. For a tight group of 2–3 people, the game is less fun; best with 4–6+ players. Especially good for game nights, holiday get-togethers, or just killing time with friends. Definitely recommend!

This is a super fun game. You make up the craziest phrases! Fun for parties and game nights. Good for most ages that can read. The game isn't one that goes on for hours either.

We like this game because it's easy to play and you never know how it's going to go. It's a lot of fun!

Fun game

I bought Ransom Notes for family game nights, and it's been a great addition to our collection. My kids absolutely loved creating silly sentences with the word magnets. How It Works: Players use word magnets to answer prompts by creating ransom note-style responses. The limitation of available words forces creative (and often hilarious) solutions. It's simple enough that everyone grasps it immediately. Family Appeal: This worked brilliantly across different ages in our household. The kids enjoyed the silliness and freedom to be creative, while the adults appreciated the clever wordplay and unexpected combinations that emerged. Everyone was laughing, which is really all you want from a family game. Replayability: With different word magnets each round and various prompts, games feel fresh each time we play. We've brought it out multiple times since purchasing, and it hasn't gotten stale yet. Player Count: Works well with 3+ players as advertised. We've played with anywhere from 4 to 7 people, and it's been engaging at all group sizes. The more players, the more variety in responses. Easy to Understand: No complicated rules to learn or teach. Set up is quick, explanations take minutes, and you're playing almost immediately. Perfect for when you just want to jump into something fun without lengthy instructions. Quality: The magnets are decent quality and the board works well. Everything feels sturdy enough to withstand regular family use, including enthusiastic kids handling the pieces. The Laughter Factor: Watching my kids craft absurd sentences within the constraints of the available words was genuinely entertaining. There's something about the limitation that brings out creativity and humor in unexpected ways. Overall: A genuinely fun party game that delivered family entertainment and lots of laughs. If you want something lighthearted that gets everyone involved and giggling, this is an excellent choice. My kids keep asking to play it again, which is the best recommendation I can give.

Unterhaltsames Spiel, wenn Sie Cards Against Humanity oder Ähnliches mögen. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass dieses Spiel meiner Meinung nach viel langsamer und weniger lustig ist.

Lots of fun for family game night. Everyone enjoys it.
