Playing Randomise {Review}

Randomise sent us this lovely card to review. My children are aged 8, 10 and 12 years old and couldn't wait to play this game! 

"Have you ever seen a confused octopus eating spaghetti? Or a disguised giraffe playing air guitar? Welcome to the world of RANDOMISE."

Randomise is a card game the whole family can enjoy! You need at least 4 players (aged 8+) split into two teams. We had Girls Vs Boys. Ellie & I were on one team, Harry and Charlie were on the opposite team. You'll need a stopwatch or timer (I used my phone) and each player will need some paper and a pen/pencil. 
Included in the pack of Randomise are cards explaining the scoring and cards explaining the timing. As well as some blank cards to make your own randomise cards!

The kids volunteered me to be the person in charge of the scoring. The team in charge of the scoring  have the first turn of Randomise.
When it is your turn, you must declare whether you are going for an easy or hard challenge You must also state whether you are going to draw, act or describe your character.

When it was our turn we picked a card from each pile (A, B, C). The opposite team (Harry abd Charlie) then selected 3 random numbers for us to act/draw or describe.
We then looked at the words that matched each number, revealing our new identities.

Card 'A' always describe you (E.G- Pretty, strong or confused)
Card 'B' will tell you what you are . (E.G - Frog, Santa, Octopus)
Card 'C' will tell you what you are doing (E.G Eating spaghetti, rock climbing sneezing)

When you're ready, the opposite team get ready to time your turn.
For Describing you have 30 seconds and for acting you have 60 seconds. For drawing you have 90 seconds.

1 point is awarded for every card your team successfully guesses.
Easy Levels - You get one bonus point if you team shouts out your full identity before your time is up (E.G Nervous mole eating spaghetti)
Hard levels - You get three bonuses points if your team shouts out your full identity.


We choose to draw our first cards.


Harry and Charlie acted there turn. Which was hilarious seeing a a hairy spider having a picnic, hahaha. Ellie and I didn't guess it all but we did guess hairy spider eating!
We couldn't stop laughing! Ellie was all "Oh my goodness this is SO much fun" And Charlie was like "Seriously this is SO cool" And even my (almost) teenager enjoyed it!
With so many different combinations (And you can make your own, using the blank cards), every game is different.
There are also alternative games you can play, which are included on the instruction leaflet. We haven't tried any of those yet as we've had so much fun playing Randomise! I don't think we will ever get bored of Randomise.


We have had so much fun with this game, it's so funny and really gets the imagination going! I think this is going to be a favourite family game forever to be honest. The kids haven't stopped wanting to play and we have had hours of fun!

This game would also be perfect for dinner parties and family gatherings. You can purcahse this game on Amazon UK and priced at just £9.99, it truly is worth the money!
