Big Potato Head Hackers: A Mind-Reading Family Party Game

Ok, so the hat isn’t that big a part of the game but it does help you remember whose “go” it is!! 😉We play as a family and actually it is quite a clever game as you are not only choosing 3 clue words for your team mate to use to guess the word on the card, you are also wanting to choose ones that the opposing team members won’t have written down as well!! Mind reading or not as the case may be! We really like it. Most ages can play but the age range is probably quite an accurate guide.

Think I would have to play this while drunk to find it amusing. Is an okay game, tinfoil hat gimmick is fun but a lot of the time you spend playing with your eyes closed while waiting for the other players to write their clues. I think I fell asleep playing quite a few times. The point scoring is a little confusing and you also feel like the board is a bit pointless.

This game caused many fits of laughter to ensue. I brought it over with a group of friends and we had so much fun trying to outwit one another. Wearing a tin foil hat made it all the funnier! This is a super easy game to learn and will be very useful for my next dinner party! The only downside is the box quality isn't up to standard compared with other Big Potato games.

Such a great fun game with friends. Makes you think out of the box. Just don’t play drunk or you’ll have your friends give you the weirdest most obscure clues to the simplest of words. The clues to the word “hand” went from fingers and arm to shake and job as in handshake and hand job... and makes you realize how differently people think of the simplest of words ...great fun night overall.

I bought Head Hackers after playing it at a friends house. We had such fun! It is incredibly easy to pick up and was interesting to explain words without my friends guessing, it got wonderfully silly. This is a magnificent addition to my games cupboard. I have played a couple of Big Potato games before and they really are the best, I don't know how they come up with them but I enjoy them so much. Unlike Monopoly, the tears everyone sheds are tears of laughter.

Success in Head Hackers is achieved by thinking up words to describe the 'secret word' you are given that your opponents won't choose themselves. It is the perfect game to play with friends/family who know each other well. We have played it with younger players too - can be very funny and there are easier secret words for younger players to use. A really funny game - ideal for Christmas get togethers!

We played as a group of adults and had a really good laugh playing this game. Good, clean, fun.

We've had loads of fun with this game. If you're competitive, make sure you pair up with someone who knows how you think, although it can be hilarious when your partner is on a totally different wave length to you. We've played it a number of times with friends and every time we get lots of laughs. Very good value and worth adding to your board game collection (if you have one)
