Product reviews...
I had seen this game in the shops and put it in the trolley while continuing to shop and then thinking that I will never play the game so put it back on the shelf to do the same thing the next time I was in the shop so I finally decided to get the game and see how it went.
Not sure what I was expecting but the board almost had me thinking that we would only play this game once, it was easy enough to learn the rules and know how to move around the board. The question cards are bound in four bundles and I thought I would only open one and see how it goes, so far we haven't gone through all the cards so have yet to open the other bundles. The first few questions caused some confusion as we were finding out where the clues were, some were pictures on the back of the card and the questions on the front (so the other players can't read the answers) and some were just questions.
It is amazing how much the kids can ignore the advertising and slogans and things on TV, I did mention it and my boys told me that they press skip advert as soon as they can as they watch mainly on YouTube but then there was a lot that I couldn't answer (mainly due to not growing up in New Zealand so I wouldn't have a clue what the slogan was before it was changed ... )
I'm keeping this in the games as there are heaps of cards we haven't used yet and this might encourage the kids to pay attention to the advertising, I knew that there was some that I knew but couldn't quite put my finger on it.
The Logo Game is awesome! Not only does it teach you more about New Zealand's most iconic brands, there's a laugh to be had at the one's you get wrong that you should have known!
I do not think this is a children's game at all. Not all cards have pictures for you to guess on the back of the card. Some of the questions are about dates of companies or products and you really take a wild guess. I played with my 15 year old brother and a few other adults and he struggled quite a bit with most of the questions.
Because they are 400 logo question cards it is very hard to come across the same question twice and this keeps you on your toes, there a several different types of cards to have a twist to the game and you only move by answering correct questions and you move by colour, this is another twist to the game that makes it absolutely fun as people can answer four questions right but depending on the colour they got right or wrong the next person may answer one right and get ahead.
This game has a bit of tactic with it and answering the question right becomes key to winning!
The Logo Game is lots of fun, it includes lots of Logo's you will instantly recognize and probably a few you wont. I think its a bit confusing being called the "Logo Game" where some questions represent the brand more than the actual logo but with a bit of clever thinking you get there in the end. The kids love to get involved as well so its a game for all ages.
The aim of the game is to be the first one to get to the end, there are four questions on a card each one has a corresponding colour if you get the question correct you move your game piece to the questions corresponding colour. Its fun to see who knows what and some are so easy you seem to get mind blank.
There are a few questions that made me question the "New Zealand Edition" such as questions about EBay. But there are plenty that are very kiwi such as Marmite, The Edge, Edmonds and many more! A great game to get to know fun facts about your favourite brands and refresh stuff that you already knew. Fun to spend time with the family and not to competitive. This is a game I could play over and over!
