Under The Radar Top Secret Talking Game | Party Game | For Adults And Families (Dinner Party Edition)

Of all the games we played at Christmas this one was the most fun. Kids and Grandparents all got involved. Created a highly suspicious and amusing atmosphere for the day!

It's a simple but fun game. Requires a group of very willing participants because you play while going about normal activities. If people aren't willing or too shy then they'll just take their cards then ignore them resulting in a lot of players getting 0 points by default.My group was willing though and over the course of about 4 hours at a BBQ there were various moments where people got suspicious of each other and had a laugh at the dumb scenarios people were trying to create so they could talk about their card topics.The cards themselves are well made, there's plenty of variety and nobody had any difficulty understanding the prompts.

I love games like this! I've seen a few variations and some people tend to let the game run for a lot longer than an evening, especially when the task is a little more obscure and requires catching others when they least suspect.The game is really easy to play and takes place over a set period of time. Everyone is gven a card which has a task they must complete within that amount of time. The task may be verbal or physical. If you complete your task, you start another. The more tasks each person completes, the more points they get. This game has tasks that fall into 2 categories: easy and hard. You get more points for completing the hard ones. The easy ones are far more subtle and conspicuous so you can fly well under the radar when executing those. The hard ones are a bit more memorable and easy to spot (eg: lie down on the floor/wear somebody else's shoes for 30 seconds). I think this is best played throughout the course of an evening rather than in a shorter period of time when everything becomes suspicious. The box has plenty of tasks with so much variety and it's a small box so very easy to take with you. It could even be played whilst on holiday. eg: everyone takes 5 cards at the start of the day and the winner is whoever finishes them first without being caught.I think this is a great ice breaker game to have running in the background and it will appeal to people of all ages. It's a great idea and well executed. This game has a good number of high quality cards in a nice sturdy box. Very impressed and looking forward to playing this with a bigger group in the summer!

Of all the games that I have got this has to be one of my favourites. This game is played over the course of several hours whilst you are doing other ordinary things. Each player is dealt 5 instruction cards- these could be a word or a task that you have to slip into the conversation without being discovered. Players score points for every word or task they spot another player doing. The winner is the first to complete their word/tasks without being discovered. Now, if you know my family you know we will commit fully to this. It was so much fun. We have played it on train journeys, days out even at work. Great fun for £13.99.

This is a nicely made set of two sets of cards (easy and hard) in a good strong drawer-style box. The 'game is that each player is dealt four cards: two easy and two hard, and each card carries a challenge to be completed during a period that's determined by the players: for example during the dinner, or the whole evening. The players try to complete the challenges without it being picked up on, while at the same time trying to spot when someone else is completing their challenges.Examples of the 'easy' challenges are 'Quote three lines from the same movie'; 'say something is 'whack' when you mean bad'; or 'use at least three puns during the course of the game'. Surprisingly, for the group I tried this game out with, that last one was the most difficult because we all enjoy wordplay and pun all the time!The 'hard' challenges similarly included things that we as a group might do anyway, such as 'pretend to be a food critic and review each dish...' or assuming a false accent. That actually makes them much harder to spot and enhances the game!A tip: we tried several variations - as a drinking game (make your own rules about when you have a drink(!) but settled on a score of 1 for a correct challenge, -1 for a wrong challenge; 1 for managing to get away without being challenged for 'easy', and 2 for getting away without being challenged for 'hard'. We also found that some scoring led to some debate - for example, if you have to do something three times and get it past everyone twice then get challenged on the third time, should you get a part score? As with many of these games, part of the fun is in this sort of squabble. We added an extra to the scoring: the two lowest scores did the washing up!Good fun and suitable for any age (perhaps with a little selection or partnering for very young). Recommended!

We really enjoyed playing this during our recent Eurovision party. We were 6 adults and 3 children. While just the adults played, it was fun to get the children involved in some of the challenges too (e.g. I had a card that asked me to make the sound of thunder, and my 2-year old had a great fun also trying this challenge!).There is meant to be a competitive nature to the game, where you get points for completing the challenges and call people if you discover they are doing a challenge, but I wouldn't really take this element too seriously. Some of the challenges are unavoidably obvious and you'll clearly get found out, but it doesn't really matter, the whole point is that it just adds a bit of silliness to the occasion. We were also fairly liberal with swapping cards if there was something we just didn't want to do, since we wanted to focus on making it fun rather than feeling too much pressure to do something you might not feel comfortable with.There are a decent number of cards so there is definitely some scope to play this on multiple different occasions. It does feel like it'll be somewhat dead when we run out of cards though since repeating the tasks won't be nearly as fun as the unexpected element first time around.
