Description:


Name a restaurant, fruit, toy, Halloween costume, and weapon. And make sure all your answers begin with the same initial letter. If "C" is the letter, you might answer Chinese, Cantaloupe, Cap Gun, Clown, and Catapult. But be unique. If your response is the same as an opponent's, you score nothing! Dozens of different categories to answer, too... 144 of them. Everything from kinds of pizza toppings to fictional characters. Which answer will win the game? Will it be Cantonese instead of Chinese; Cranberry instead of Cantaloupe; or Choo Choo Train instead of Cap Gun? Play Scattergories, the fast-thinking categories game and find out!

Our Review:

This is a great game for groups, but the level of interaction is quite low, and that takes away from some of the fun. If you're into words and quick-thinking, on the other hand, it is fabulous.

Scattergories rating: 5/5 stars Question!

I love this game, it is a favorite among friends. I do have a question that has made my friends and I argue (hahaa, competitively, of course). I know that you aren't supposed to use "the, and and an" before answers as a filler. What if the letter is "T" and the catagory is "Book Titles". Could you use "The Cat in the Hat" (that is the name of the book...) Someone please answer this! :)

Scattergories rating: 5/5 stars Family Fun

I bought tis game 15 years ago and played with my family off and on but somehow we got away from playing games. I picked it up again a couple of months ago. Wow, what a treat. We played yesterday after Easter Dinner, ages 6-60 played, loads and loads of family fun. It is sooooooooooo much fun. I recommend it to anyone who like to play games New catergories would be nice.

Scattergories rating: 5/5 stars We Love This Game

My family loves this game. We play it all the time. The only down fall..... it needs new categories!

by Terri  (Feb 04 2008)


Scattergories rating: 4/5 stars Need More Categories

We love this game. The problem is that we play it so often that we have done every category at least 5 times. There should be an update every few years with new categories, just like Trivial Pursuit.

Scattergories rating: 5/5 stars Family favorite

A must-have game. This has been a family tradition for years and we still enjoy it as much as the first time we played it.

Scattergories rating: 5/5 stars All time favorite!!

This game is awesome. While you're writing down your answers there's not a ton of interaction but as soon as you start reading them aloud it can get hilarious. My favorite game of this type!!

by Ally  (Nov 30 2007)


Scattergories rating: 5/5 stars Very Fun!!

If you have never played this game,you have got to play it sometime! IT IS FUN!!!

Scattergories rating: 5/5 stars hands down best game

It doesn't matter what games your are used to playing or what games you are better at, there is no right way to prepare yourself for this game. I underestimated it and when I played it I was blown away.
