From the brand

We're game people.

Nice to meet you!

We're Evan and Josh, the two guys behind all this. We're so happy you've stumbled across our Very Special Games!

How did we get our start?

We were tired of games that were just reading pre-written jokes off cards. Instead, we wanted to make a new style of party game that gives people opportunities to be as hilariously creative as they can.

What makes our products unique?

Our games are designed to help both the shyest folks and master comedians create fresh, totally original humor every time they play.

Clever or Crass?

Most of our games are meant for adults but are usually as clean or as dirty as your group wants to make them.

Lifelong quirky board gamers.

We're dedicated to making creative, different, and tears-streaming-down-your-face funny games.

Ransom Notes

Players use word magnets to respond to outlandish prompts. This party game has infinite hilarious combinations!

Puns of Anarchy

Turn your favorite bands, movies, and celebrities into puns — change just one letter or whole words on reusable dry erase cards!

Abducktion

A weirdly strategic duck kidnapping game, 15 minutes of light strategy of ducks, a UFO, and mind-bending, shape-finding logic!

Founded in Memphis, TN in 2019

We started playing our first prototype game on sticky notes during lunchbreak and a few months later launched our first game!

RANSOM NOTES: The game of hilariously terrible sentences! Players use word magnets to respond to outlandish prompts like “Tell someone you’ve clogged their toilet at a party” with just their limited pool of words
WHAT’S INCLUDED: 840 high quality word magnets, 6 metal submission cards, 250 prompt cards, and instructions. With 250 absurd prompt cards and a new pool of words every time, this party game has infinite hilarious combinations and feels fresh every time you play
EASY TO PLAY: Learn to play in under one minute, and even the shyest players will be creating laugh-out-loud word magnet responses right away. Just take a few handfuls of word magnets, flip over a prompt card, and start playing — no long instructions to explain!
3-6+ PLAYERS: While the game is made for 3-6 players, it’s equally hilarious when larger groups team up together. 30-90 min play time. Is it appropriate for everyone? Not really. While a majority of prompt cards are certainly suitable for all audiences, there are quite a few that are definitely not. BUT, if you do want to make it family friendly, pulling about 15-30% of the cards should make the game totally PG and playable for all!
THE PERFECT GIFT: For birthdays, Christmas, Father's Day, or an anytime present for creative people. Bring it to Thanksgiving or your family / friend’s game night.
Now with higher quality word magnets that break apart easily and quickly

Title: Fun party game
Review: Punching out all the words is tedious, but we had our friends help. The game itself is clever and great for large groups. The prompts led to hysterical results!

Title: Fun
Review: Fun game to play... How much can really depend on the group, and of course what words and questions you end up with. Once you get going it's good. But getting set up is so tedious. The initial set up where you have to separate all the words sucks. And then when you play and select your words, getting that set up is also annoying... But if you're not well organized, good luck answering a prompt within the time limit. Not sure if they have them, but expansion packs with more words or themed packs would be cool. Some of the prompts are completely awful and ended up in the trash

Title: So much fun!
Review: This game is really fun. It has very quickly become a favorite among my family and my friends. I would 100% buy it again. The pieces are quality, so far they are holding up well even after a lot of use. The game can be as family friendly (or not, lol) as you decide you want it to be.FYI: I also bought the expansion pack, thinking it contained more words pieces and more little metal trays for the players but it only contains cards. Don't worry - the game comes with more than enough for the recommended max number of players but it would be cool to be able to have the option to buy more of the word strips, enough to play with a very large group. I could by a 2nd game but then I have duplicates of all the cards and don't want that.

Title: Love It
Review: Really fun game. Pick a card & choose response tiles. Judge decides who wins. Made some hilarious nonsensical sentences & paragraphs. Definitely recommend for a good belly laugh.Simple game that anyone can play. We didn't adhere to the 1-minute for responses rule and still finished a game within 45 minutes (we had 4 players; person with 5 cards wins). It's pretty face pace when we aren't laughing.Ages: It's for all ages. I removed the adult content cards & tiles, and our 9 & 12 y/o played. We've done the same with other adult content card games; it's a mature game that helps develop language, critical thinking, & wit. Creators encourage adding own tiles; we probably will, eventually.If my review seems off, I'm still laughing at our responses.Recommend? Yes. Need a sense of humor, though.Good value for money; the laughs are worth it.

Title: Pricey but fun
Review: Thankfully I sat down to watch a movie while pulling the words apart. It took the whole time and my fingers were black. This game also takes time to prep before playing. Make sure you play with a similar age range.Take those elements out and the fact that it's a bit overpriced, and it's a fun game.

Review: Great game to play with friends. I bought the expansion pack which is good for a bigger group. If you wanted to have a family orientated game, you can just pull out the tiles that you think should not be in there.

Review: Such a simple idea but with a clever selection of magnet words. It says 3+ players, but we played with two of us and have not laughed so much in ages. While you might want to edit the large word bank for younger players, you can moderate your answers easily enough in terms of adult humour and innuendo. As there is no spelling and grammar goes out of the window with the word limitations, it is great for people with dyslexia or just not as confident with their spelling. The playing boards a bit flimsy and irritating how the words catch in the edge, but otherwise awesome. Will play it a lot.
