Adult HedBanz Game

We started out with the young people's version of this game, and it's awesome! We had to try this adult version. It is a lot more difficult which only adds to the fun! This game is great to play with old friends or family at gatherings, and it is also super to play with new friends as an ice breaker. Hedbanz is a game you want to have in your home to pull out and use whenever you can. It really is a game you can play with a wide variety of ages. There are even easy ways to modify the game if this one is too hard for the younger people in your life. You can always limit the choices to only people or only places etc. to narrow the playing field for less seasoned players. Also, I found it to be a great review/learning tool. You can make your own cards using regular index cards and then use it as a game to go over topics such as: presidents, states, vocabulary and so on. It requires some thinking which is always a good thing. We look forward to hours and hours of fun with this!

We are a game family and we're always on the lookout for a new one that we'll all enjoy. HedBanz for adults his all the marks for a good game - easy rules, a touch of silliness, and surprisingly challenging! It's basically like 20 questions where you have a word on your band that you can't see but the other players can. There is a one minute timer, and on your turn you ask yes and no questions until you are able to guess. Sometimes you get an idea in your head and it is so hard to figure out where you are going wrong. You start with three chips and get rid of one every time you get a correct guess and get one everything you give up lol. First one to get rid of their chips first wins. Some of the cards have been Bart Simpson, taco, and pajamas. Even tho it says adult, I think this is due to the difficulty of the cards, and not for any adult words, as far as I can tell after playing a few games.

This game is much more challenging - and fun - than it might appear! After my introduction to HedBanz for ages 7+ (a great family game) by my tween cousins, I bought Adult HedBanz as a gift for my 70 year old mother who enjoys playing games (Qwirkle, Mexican Train) with her girlfriends. Following an afternoon of lunch & libations, we broke out Adult HedBanz and had a blast!The objective is to guess who or what is on the picture card on your headband by asking yes-or-no questions of other players. It sounds so simple, but it's actually trickier than it seems! Suggestions for questions are provided, but remembering all the answers is up to you!As far as I'm able to tell, the adult version of HedBanz differs only from the youth edition by adding familiar personalities (real & fictional) to the animals and everyday objects found in the kids' game.Good, clean fun (with or without wine!) for any age.

I wanted something my retarded family could play all together without being grossed out or uncomfortable. This game is easy to follow and pretty fun! Although my sister got really mad after we all had gotten about 8 cards and she was STILL on her first one. She couldn't get "Milan"...a city in Italy. That's probably because she's stupid. I didn't like that they had cards that were SO obvious that after 3 hints you could guess the noun. My mom had "superwoman". She got it in 3 guesses. I think she cheated. She probably could see the reflection in my idiot uncle's glasses. I don't know why he was playing because he's partially deaf and was asking us to repeat our answers to his guesses so often I wanted to throw the vase sitting next to me at his face. All in all this game was fun and can be used to make money. We all put in five bucks and the winner won thirty dollars. Yippie! It wasn't me. So I was pissed.

I bought the adult version of HedBanz for my nephew (29) and the child's version for my great nephew (9) after reading the reviews on Amazon ( a must do before any purchase). It was Christmas Eve and so we first played the child's version. When I say "we", I mean eight family members, ages 6 to 74. We had so much fun with the kids game we quickly moved to the adult version. One thing I know about kids is this. It's not necessarily the presents you give them that make them happy, it's the time "you" spend playing with them and the present. Games bring people together and this one does exactly that. My family is not gifted at holding meaningful conversation and entertaining each other. HedBanz brought us together, gave us plenty of laughs and happy memories of our Christmas Celebration for 2012. We didn't use the timer or follow the rules perfectly. It didn't matter. We were after "fun" and that's what we had. Highly Recommend.

Fun for adults and kids. The youngest player actually won the game. It's a lot of fun, and easy to play. It's a game that any age can play, as long as they have a decent understanding of things around the house and their living environment. Some cards do refer to people or things that younger people may not know yet, but they could always pick another card. There are no inappropriate cards. Even though it's 'adult', it only refers to the amount of knowledge a person would have.***We bought Adult and original HedBanz, and then the kids could play with each other that way, and the adults could give adult clues for things like 'George Washington' or something.

I got this for a get together of a bunch of college age friends.It ended up being a little harder than I thought it would be to play for the first time. The first few rounds we didn't have many people correctly guess the word on their "bandz". After a few rounds it became a little easier and everyone was able to ask better clue questions during the question round.This is one of those games that has a rocky start getting the feel of how it works then is fun for a few rounds and then gets a little old. We did enjoy playing and will probably play again, but I think we had more fun playing Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons (Family Edition) when we got together last year.
