Scrutineyes: The Game of Closer Looks

This is the EBST GAME EVER. NObody agrees with me except my sister, but that is because nobody I have not encountered any able-minded challengers. This game includes amazing complex colorful illustrations printed on giant cards. Each card is assigned a letter, and it is like...alphabet "Eye-Spy." The solutions manual is CRAZY!!!!! there are words in there that nobody would ever know- crazy animal species and ancient cauliflowers and weird stuff that describes everything possible in the picture in fifteen ways. But it is just as fun to play like a normal person and name things like "dog" and "MAN" I don't know why this game is no longer is production. There are cartoons on the flip-side that is some other game, but I don't like that side.I bought this game used from some seller and it is exactly the same as the version that my mom lost in her attic.

Anytime my kids friends come over they always want to play this. You have several different boards to choose from with pictures of all kinds of different things on them. There are two sides to each board with different topics. The side we play the most has letters on it. You also have covers to cover parts of the board, for example, the top half, left half, right half, or bottom half. This means you will not get to use that side of the board. The way this is determined is by rolling a dice. This makes it so the game is different even if you use the same board over and over. The other thing is you only have like 1 minute to find as many things with the particular letter that you can. Once done, everyone passes their board to the person beside you and you do a minute with theirs. Once everyone has played each others boards, you go through all of the items you found. You get points for finding items no one else found. We have had many laughs with this game. Even the 5 year old helps.

We played this in groups at a family gathering and all ages had fun - from 8-10 yr olds to the grammas and papas. This game was suggested by a special needs teacher to help focus a child's attention and participate in a fun social interaction. So glad we found it here as it is now out of print!We didn't follow the included rules, but rather passed selected cards around to each group for a limited time. Each group identified and wrote down as many items as possible in the alloted time. Then the cards were passed to the next group. After all the cards made the rounds we shared our finds; as well as surprise and laughter! The ultimate game of "I spy, with my little eye."This will definitely be included at all the future family gatherings, and maybe an adult game night. We could even try playing by "the rules"....

I played this game 20 years ago with my family. Now I have a family of my own and was looking for games to play with them. I loved this game then and I love it now. It was never a really popular game. I never saw advertisements for it. But, everyone who I play it with has fun. Too bad that I had to look so hard to find it. But, it was worth the money and time looking for it.

I remember playing this as a child and was so sad when our copy became lost in a move. I'm so happy I found this out of manufacture game. Each picture is beautifully illustrated on two sides and contains a letter or theme for which you scour the photo for an alloted time and write down everything you see pertaining to the given topic. Then you switch pictures until everyone has had a go with each, then you compare answers. It's great for all ages that can write, the older you get the more items you will recognize.

Even my grandkids love to play this game; the art work is amazing on the cards and you can play it over and over and never get all of the items on your list; there is always something new to see! Fun for the entire family. I bought one for each of my kids and their families and since they are no longer available in stores, Amazon is a great place to find them.

It was in a little rougher shape than I expected. All pieces were there. Arrived quickly.

This is one of my favorite games. If you’re searching this, it’s probably one of your favorite games, too.
