Product Details

Your bed is floating in an ocean! Your dog turned into a zombie! How will you survive? To play, the judge for the round draw a scenario card and reads the ridiculous scenario out loud. The other players race to grab object chips! Will that toilet bowl help you? What about the pogo stick? Once you have your chips, you’ll have to stretch your imagination to create your own survival plan. Practice improvisation and make your plan clever, creative or funny – whatever it takes to convince the judge to award you survival rations. How will you defeat a giant llama with hot sauce? Or will you survive lunch-lady ninjas with a bucket of worms? This wild and weird think-on-your-feet game will have your kids in fits of giggles! And whoever has the most survival rations at the end of the game wins!

• Create your best survival plan with only your brain power and whatever 3 wacky objects you manage to grab!
• Kids practice creative thinking, problem-solving and improvisation
• Fun party game for kids and adults
• For 4 or more players
• Includes 55 double-sided object chips, 80 survival scenario cards, 75 scoring rations, 30-second timer and instructions

Creative and fun game
Played this with my family and loved it, but, after a round we changed the rules to blind scoring so you can't see your score until the end. We were definitely starting to retaliate against each other! I got this from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I think it's going to be a favorite, it's designed for 8+ but I think even a 5 year old can play and enjoy themselves. It's a great mix of creativity, problem solving, with the added fun of trying to persuade someone to see things your way.

Great family game!
We got to try out this game thanks to the Stellar Product Testing panel. We have two kids ages 9 and 5 and they thought it was great to come up with funny responses to all fit what scenarios. It took a few rounds to really get the hang of it, but that is to be expected with kids! We are always looking for fun games to get everyone out from in front of screens and this one definitely helps does that. The set up was easy to understand and we love how easy it is to store away in the little box.

Creativity and Laughter!!
From my family to yours, this game is a great time! I’m glad we got to test it out thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel because it will be in the rotation for a long time. Perfect timing too because my family always plays games together on the holidays. It’s some of my favorite memories from being a kid and I want my boys to get that too. The harder we all laugh, the more we will all remember. I enjoy the creativity it brings out in my boys and it’s awesome to see their senses of humor.

Great Game--New Family Favorite!
We loved playing The How I Survived Game! This is definitely a new favorite for our family and my 8-year-old is OBSESSED! It was super engaging for him. He loved the wacky and wired scenarios and loved coming up with funny things that he could use to survive! The quality of the game was great, and we loved the packaging. The best part about this game is that it allowed my son to use his imagination and get really creative. We loved being able to see him think and laugh!

Think Outside the Box - Play Online with Friends!
Hesitating to purchase this game because the global pandemic has you less social than usual? Don’t! This is an amazing, creative game that is sure to spark inspiration and out-of-the-box thinking and tons of giggles. As an added bonus, the case has a magnetic lock and looks beautiful on our game shelf. While this game is geared for players 8+, my 5yo loved imagining his own responses to scenarios. This game was provided by Stellar Product Testing Panel, but all opinions are my own.

Fun game for the Imagination!
My kids played this game right away. I have a 9, 8, 6, & 3 year old and they were able to set the game up & read the directions independently. The game says ages 8+ but my 6 year old was able to keep up and play just fine. The game is more of a creative fun game than competitive. It sparks the imagination to be silly. It made us laugh&was a good change to game night. It’s a quality game. I would recommend it.I received this from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review
