Title: Hilarious Game, Especially if You’re Not from Philly
Review: I bought this as a gift for a friend that I thought was from Philadelphia. Nope, they’re from Pittsburg, but that made the game even more fun and silly, resulting in lots of laughter as we would look at the cards and say, “?” And then Google the answer.This would be an actually fun game for folks from Philadelphia, or for friends that are moving to the area. I find value in it as a fun, random stocking stuffer or white elephant gift for someone who loves game nights but isn’t super familiar with Philly. Definitely worth the cost, just for the laughter some of the questions produce.

Title: a mix of fun and cerebral, with a lot of challenging questions to stump you
Review: So this is definitely an enjoyable game, although the questions are fairly difficult so it is by no means easy, and I would not say its a great drinking type game either. Its better for a chill get together to see who knows more about Philadelphia...but many of the questions are sortof like Jeapardy type specific questions...so no one is going to be able to answer many of them correctly, as I had to guess just to get about 1/2 of them correct. and I had no clue on about 1/4 of them, and was left guessing on the other 1/4. and I am a lifelong Philadelphia area resident...and fairly smart.So this is great for those who really like trivia, or who like being stumped. Its also good becaause it has a variety of questions and some that are easy but many that are hard, so say a family of different ages...could all do equally well on this and equally bad...which makes it interesting. Some questions are current pop-culture, many are sports related, but some are about the history of the city, whether the 70's-90's, the 1930's, and even stuff from the 1700+1800's. So while I was clueless on some of the questions, I knew some, but another age group might be converse of that.So in terms of how challenging this game is and how much it makes you think...I give it a 9/10. Many many interesting questions and things I never even knew about Philadelphia despite being a life long resident. The learning value is great. In terms of pure "fun" however, I would give it a about a 6/10, as the level "1" cards are a little easier and often have 1 funny or vaguely humourous question about the city or the quirks of philadelphian life, but the level 2 + 3 cards get more difficult, and they dont have the easier or funnier questions so much on them. So ultimately most of the questions are rather by-the-book and asking interesting historical or other factual questions about the city.It almost feels like a different game just playing with the 1 point cards, vs the 2+3's, so for more "fun", you could just play with the 1 point cards mostly and that is a more laid back fun experience. But if you play with all the cards randomly...you will end up with a majority tough questions so it depends what you like. Overall: its a really interesting amount of knowledge in these cards, and if you are from Philly...you will be humbled with how many you get wrong...and if you are not....you can learn a lot about the city. (and even if you are - as again I had no clue on 1/4 - 1/2 of the questions.) Very interesting game, and I can definitely recommend it...as a lifelong Philly area resident.

Review: My brother loves trivia and went to school in Philly, so this was such a good game for him! We've particularly loved playing it in car rides to pass the time. Very interesting knowledge about Philadelphia!

Title: Challenging -Even For Philadelphians!
Review: I was so excited to find this game as I grew up in Philadelphia and have friends still living there. I brought it as a surprise on a recent shared getaway weekend, and the surprise ended up at the game being more challenging than we thought! So fun to actually not know all of the answers and learn new things. Especially when challenged by self-proclaimed experts with fact checks!

Title: Great for Game Nights!
Review: I got this to play with a friend from Philly. If you aren't from Philly, you may not find this super exciting, but if you ARE, like my friend, you should enjoy not only confirming what you already know but learning a few new things. Fun way to pass time or to play at family game night.
