electronic game of Scattergories Customer Review: Fun game with a solvable glitch
What a fun game! I loved the original version, and really like the options you have on this electronic version. It’s got a lot of variety, and you can play with youngsters too. You feel the pressure of a game show, which is fun if you have enthusiastic teams. You can really be crative and come up with creative answers that match the categories.
THERE IS AN UNFORTUNATE GLITCH- like another reviewer stated – team A and B each have a timer that is stopped as they complete their set of answers, and they take turns until the first team runs out of time. However, team A is often the loser because they start first…and it’s most logical that their time will end first.
The manufacturer really didnt think this through.
BUT- THERE IS A WAY AROUND IT! THIS IS WHAT WE DO:
If my team was Team A in the first round, then we call ourselves Team B for the second round….at least this way we are equally disadvantaged. Also, once team A’s time runs out, we record the time remaining of Team B and add it up in the end to declare the real winner.

I know this sounds confusing, but it will all fall into the place if you buy the game…which I DO recommend! It’s Scattegories to the MAX!
Customer Review: Wow what a great toy
the man who reviewed this toy before obviously wasnt a scattergories fan!!! this game allows soo many more catogories and different levals….its technology is growing with this world and if it were to stay as a board game it probably wouldnt be as popular, for 20 dollars why wouldnt any one buy it!! its hours of fun and easy to take anywhere!!! if you buy this game over the regular scattergories you’ll be pleased with your descison just remember were growing up in this world and we cant just stay with the plain board games!!
