FAQ
-
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 word 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.
-
Are the word magnets sheets hard get apart at first?
During our first print run, we got some feedback that the "sheets" the word magnets came in took a while to separate. So, we've upgraded our materials so the magnets come apart faster and easier when you first get the game. Science!
-
How many players?
Ransom Notes is officially for 3-6 players, but if you want to play with more, we recommend getting the expansion pack as well, which includes enough trays and new words to expand the game up to 10 players!
-
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!
