Played Christmas night and at stephens’ night with the family, fantastic craic and plenty of laughs! Good variety of questions
Purchased for Christmas as my husband loves watching tipping point.
Not used yet so unable to comment but other reviews read well, so hopefully won’t be disappointed.
My boy loves this gamegood value for money and easy to set up
My nephew adores Tipping point and it’s my 3rd purchase. Value for money.
I bought the game for my 2 yr grandson, he is obsessed by it on tv. It is just like the TV game, he puts the counters in then goes mental when he wins jackpot. The older kids love the questions so entertaining for everyone. Very sturdy made too.
Bought for my tipping point obsessed son. He says it is perfect, he loves it.no complaints
Bought this for my tipping point obsessed son! He absolutely loves it.
Packaging for game was severely damaged (despite delivery box being fully intact) so would not have been great as a gift for someone else but the game was still working well despite this.
The questions are great for adults and children- a great family game.
We love tipping point as a family and this game has brought some fun games. The actual tipping point machine is a bit pathetic. It’s tiny and fiddly with the counters and noisy. Shame because if this was better made I’d have give it 5 stars
Would definitely recommend as the game is good fun. Huge variety of questions within the contents of the box which is always good for a game with this calibre.
Actual tipping point machine isn’t exactly phenomenal but it does the job! Me and the family had a good giggle at the creaking noise it makes but it still does the job!
Instructions are slightly confusing. The way it tries to get you to play the game is confusing and not like the TV show, would definitely recommend just playing the way you want to once you have the hang of it!
Not a bad game at all. The family played it over Christmas lockdown. Its a good quality game. They try to follow the TV format bit its not exact as its a board game. It killed some time and caused some arguments lol. Good for the money
All game pieces there so I’m not going to moan about the game or write a bad review about it as such!
But I was so disappointed with the state of the box and the actual box it was packaged in was perfectly fine which means the damage was done before it got put in the delivery box! There was clear damage and shouldn’t have been sent like that, the game isn’t cheap so you expect it to be in a better condition, especially when it’s a present for someone else.
The game is brilliant (hence the review stars) but I’m gutted about the box as it was a present for my nan.
We’ve played it once so far and we had a great time playing it! The rounds are well done and good fun.
A couple of cons though:
The motor is loud, which can be annoying so we just turned it off until we needed to drop a coin and it didn’t affect the gameplay at all.
The coins are a bit too light so they can jump around a lot more than they do in real-life. Personally we think it added to the fun as we laughed about it but if you’re a stickler for how it should be, this may annoy you. Someone in another review suggested a way of creating zones to block it off so we may try tha
After a quick delivery, it took a reasonable amount of time to set up. The machine requires 2 AA batteries (alkaline preferred for top performance) and the canopy must be unscrewed beforehand. We found this to be no problem at all. When switched on, a circular mechanism rotates to move the red sliding tray (it really isn’t loud at all). The counters are made of cardboard, but despite this material, they do slide and push each other very nicely. They may occasionally get stuck in the vertical wall but a little knock on the side of the machine will get them fling down again. Once all the counters are punched out of the cardboard tray and the machine is assembled, all that’s left are stickers to decorate the machine. I didn’t stick them on terribly well but they look pretty cool. I’d say a pretty well-designed machine, even though I found I had to make sure the vertical wall was pushed down fully to prevent the counters from sliding underneath it. There were also occasions where the tray stop moving due to the rotator getting caught, but it only took a few seconds to get it going again; just switch it off, remove the tray and give the blue shelf a little sweep (make sure there’s no debris on it throughout for fun gameplay). A couple of blips but it works more than well enough of the time to keep the game flowing nicely.
The game requires a least 3 players or teams and everyone takes it in turns being the question master. When playing by the rules correctly, everyone would have answered the same number of questions (unless in Round 2 players have passed a question to an opponent of if a ‘Freeze’ counter emerges from the machine, which is a loss of the next answering turn). This worked very well. Counters won by an individual player or team should be stacked in a separate pile to prevent them from being mixed with the draw pile or the three counters given in Round 1. There is no round where players have 30 seconds to answer questions, but you can easily slot that round in if you fancy a longer game. The player with the most counters goes on to try and eject the jackpot counter out of the machine.
I found I needed buzzers for Round 1 (they’re not included in the game, unfortunately). I use a multiple buzzer app om my tablet to add to the fun so that we know who buzzed first and that no one needs to slam their hands on the table.
There are over 650 questions in total and are in blue and red piles (the red are optional choice and are used for the final round) I would’ve liked more to improve the mix, considering The Chase board game has over 1,000, and we had a slight overdose of fashion and soap questions… we didn’t get enough Sports ones!! But that’s just us and we still prefer random questions rather than just picking them. Each question has a category attached so you have an idea what might be good, and what might be impossible to answer, for your friends and family. There are 6 on each card.
More questions and a few adjustments to the machine to improve reliability would be nice, but this is definitely a game for everyone to play. Recommended!
My Mum and Dad love watching this on TV so I bought this as part of Dad’s birthday pressies for a bit of fun. It seemed to work better with four teams as it says in the instructions. When one of the teenagers got a bit bored she decided to be quizmaster and read the questions – that worked really well.
I found when I put the little cardboard coins in they occasionally got stuck. (We added a new word to the list of “wedgie” LOL) We easily solved this problem by replacing the cardboard coins with pennies. I don’t watch the Tipping Point program so I don’t know why you would need grey tokens and black tokens – if this is a problem with using pennies you could always put a spot of coloured nail varnish on them or something. It’s much more satisfying with real money!
We had a lot of fun playing it and I would buy it again.
