SpokaneMan says "Electronic Catch Phrase is an Awesome Handheld Game" about Hasbro Catch Phrase

Catch Phrase is a game of quick wits, that tests people's abilities to associate words or phrases with descriptions. The game is hand-held, making it extremely portable, and very easy to store when you aren't using it. In addition, this is an electronic game, which keeps it very compact, and keeps it easy to play with. The basic premise of the game is to take a word or phrase that comes up on the digital screen, and get your partner or team to guess it without saying the word itself. This can be done with motions or words, and an internal timer helps to insure that you move along quickly. The trick is to pass the device (after a correct guess) to the next player or team before the buzzer goes off, and then they try to guess the next word.

As a game, Catch Phrase is relatively easy to play, and extremely easy to learn for a first-timer. The trick becomes learning how to associate the word you are given with clues that you know your teammate(s) will be able to guess in a short...

imokay66 says "Fun Party Game" about Hasbro Catch Phrase

This game is so much fun to play with friends and family. It does get kind of nerve racking because the timer goes faster when you are close to running out of time. It is east to get people into playing. We usually have a weekly game night and this game is usually one of the games we always come back to. The rules are easy and quick. You seperate into teams and get your team to guess the word on screen. ONce they get it you pass the device to the other team. Sort of like hot potato. You do this until the time has run out and whoever is stuck with it at the end loses. If there is only 2 people I got the onther person to guess as many words as possible and counted them up . Whoever has the most words wins....

This is the all time favorite of group/party games. This game is always requested. It is a fun, crazy, fast paced game that gets your adrenaline going! It can get loud (shouting out clues and answers) but it is so much fun. You play on teams & try to get your team to guess your word. The electronic timer beeps faster and faster (like a bomb about to go off) as time winds down. Pass it to the other team before time is up! Have some friends over & play. It gets everybody laughing....

Buggheart says "This game makes me laugh til it hurts." about Hasbro Catch Phrase

One of the games my friends and I always play when we get together is Catch Phrase. It's fast, fun, and always makes me laugh until it hurts or I cry.

Catch Phrase is like that pyramid game that used to be on TV where you have a word and you have to get your partner to guess the word without using the word or any derivation of it. If your partner guesses correctly you have to quickly push the button on the side to display the next word and then hand the Catch Phrase game to the next person who has to get their partner to guess the next word displayed. The object is to not get stuck with the game in your hand when the buzzer sounds or you lose the turn. It's a lot harder than it sounds as some of the words are harder than others. When my partner is shouting out the different words they think I am trying to describe it can get super hilarious and I end up laughing so hard that I can't talk anymore and the thing buzzes in my hand. And that always scares me and I scream.

Rachel says "Fast-paced, fun-filled game. Great for big groups!" about Hasbro Catch Phrase

Catch Phrase is a blast no matter what age you are. As long as you have a team of four, you are good to go. I have the electronic version - you get a word and have to describe it to your teammates without actually saying the word.

The game is great because it's interactive and gets really heated. It's exciting as you pass the game piece from player to player because nobody wants to get caught with the game piece when the buzzer goes off. It's frantic.

FYI - This game is even funner when drinks are involved.
