Fun for NYE
We used the game on NYE with adult and teens. It was fun and quite interactive. It gave a fun focus to the evening. There was a lot of preparation for the host.

Great game for NYE!
Bought this game to play on NYE and it was a lot of fun! We had eight players of all age ranges and the game flowed well. When the victim was revealed it was hilarious. If you are looking for something interactive to do that gets everyone engaged then look no more!
