Wit's End — A Smart, Mind-Bending Trivia & Brain Teaser Game That Will Challenge Your Wits & Knowledge — Adult & Family Night Fun

Our family's new favorite game. We've had Wit's End for about 6 months and enjoy it thoroughly. We are two parents, both writers (60ish), and two "kids" (27 and 31), both software engineers/musicians. Age doesn't seem to give us oldsters much of an advantage, nor do the younger ones have an advantage due to younger, more agile brains. The game is consistently challenging and great for our highly competitive family. If you love developing and testing your intelligence, this is the game for you.

Best game ever!

This is a very interesting game. It is best for people who are confident in their answers right away and do not hesitate with gambling if they are right. There are some easy ones but most of them require you to use your brain to multitask your intelligence to form a logical answer. It was a lot of fun. We had a lot of laughs and we learned so much about so many things we never knew.

Great questions and the assorted ways they are asked keeps it lively. We were 4 adults and all had fun. Def worth the price.

Great game. The years are thought provoking and fun. The categories are challenging but able to figure out. Some games go quick yet others can be an achievement to get the right roll of the dice and sometimes just a bit of knowledge and common sense can make winning hypothesis

Pros:- Great for families that don't feel comfortable with more complex games.- Good for a diverse age group.- Engaging even during other people's turns, but not so much so that you couldn't take a bathroom break quickly.- The questions are diverse, many different categories are covered. It's also nice that some of the answers can be guessed (as in pick A B C or D), whereas other ones YOU must come up with the answer for. It makes it more challenging and a deterrent to auto-winning for some people who inherently are lucky and could win the game just picking answers.- Simple to learn, very straightforward rules and game play.- The game is fairly re-playable. Each card has several different categories, so even if you go through the whole stack, the next time around you may do a different section of the card, or outright not remember the answer anyway even if it's something you had before. Hopefully they come out with an expansion though.- Shipping was fast and there were no issues with damaged box/bent cards/etc.Cons:- It could be hard or frustrating for a little kid to play. An older kid or preteen could be able to play though. The game says 16 to adult, but I'm sure a bit younger person that is used to trivia games could participate.- The board is pretty simple, it's not the prettiest game in the world.Overall:The game is fun and great for a diverse group of people from all different backgrounds/different interests. I played at Christmas with family. We sometimes have a hard time playing board games together as anything more complex than this, Scrabble, Codenames, Monopoly, or generic puzzles are not liked and too complicated for them. I am a huge board game nerd and love extremely complex games, I was afraid this would be boring but I really enjoyed it. I would recommend it and may buy it again for other family members and friends.5/5 stars.

After reading all the glowing reviews, I was really excited about this game. I was very disappointed when I finally got the game and actually played it with my family, however. There are four categories of question, but these categories differ in how the question is asked, not the subject of the question. It's a nice idea, and with different subject matter might make the game interesting. The majority of the questions seem to involve history or dates in one way or another, however. If the question is about music or film, for example, it might involve placing placing releases in order from oldest to most recent. Current events questions might require the player to know which event occurred before a certain date. As someone who's more interested in the why and what than the when, I found myself bored and frustrated by this game. I like to learn something even when I get the question wrong, but I found myself not caring much about the right answer to a question if all it involved was knowing which obscure play was written before WWII, etc. Conclusion: if you're good at history and dates, you'll probably enjoy this game. Otherwise you'll probably be bored and anxious for the game to end.
