How to Play Ransom Notes
Any Questions?
Why is the game rated 15+?
Some of the prompt cards mention themes that are a bit adult, i.e. "Where do babies come from?" or "Write a commercial for cocaine." BUT, if you do want to make it entirely family friendly, pulling about 20% of the Prompt Cards should make the game totally PG and playable for all!
How long is each round?
Individual rounds usually take about 1-2 minutes to make a response (feel free to set a 90 second timer if you like). The whole game takes anywhere from 30-90 minutes, or until you run out of beer.
How do the magnets work?
The word magnets in Ransom Notes work just like refrigerator magnets. They’ll stick right to the metal cards included in the game, but are easy to wipe off at the end of each round.
Does Ransom Notes: House Party Edition at Target stores have separate content?
Yes! The Ransom Notes: House Party Edition found at Target Stores has completely fresh prompt cards. and works seamlessly as an add-on game to both the Original Ransom Notes game and the Ransom Notes Expansion Pack. Enjoy!
