Product Description
Left foot, red! Right hand, yellow! Twist and turn your body to win in the most challenging game ever! Turn the spinner and make your move, but be careful not to end up flat on the mat. The last person standing wins!
Twister is great for teaching children their right from left, colour recognition and balance.
Amazon.co.uk Review
Twister is a very simple game that can become very complicated as the players can easily get tied up in knots. The mat that forms the playing surf ace is decorated with six circles each of red, yellow, green and blue. The mat is durable, waterproof with a wipe-clean surface but it can also be a little slippery so care must be taken. The spinner arrow is easy to assemble and to use. An appointed person spins the spinner and calls out instructions for the players to follow, such as: "left hand blue, right foot red". The players follow the directions, moving their hands and feet to the relevant circles and try not to fall over--a knee or an elbow on the ground and they're out. For young children the challenge is not only not to fall over but also to remember left from right and colour recognition. As well as the perfect ice-breaker for children's parties, Twister is also very popular with adults as the challenge to reach all the circles and remain upright becomes harder the less supple you are (or the more you've had to drink...) This is a game to suit all ages--children with adults, children with children or adults with adults. Whichever the combination the end result will be plenty of family fun. Six years up, two or more players. --Phillippa Reece

We bought this game for my boyfriends daughter at christmas, and much fun was spent on boxing day with various members of our families tangled around each other. A great laugh was had by all, and we also have some fantastic photos - which may be useful for bribery further along the line!!

I (as a child) had many a happy time playing Twister with my siblings, we all got in a real mess with it, and found it great fun. I wouldn't hesitate in buying it for my children.
Silly fun for everyone! (Over 2ft 6in) March 17, 2006

Ok, If you've been on Mars for the last few decades Twister is the game where have a large plastic sheet with big coloured dots on it and a board with a spinny pointy thing. Realistically you need at least three people to play, but you can just about manage with two. Especially if one is a contortionist!Spread the sheet on the floor and give the board to the third player. He spins the arm which dictates which limb the other players have to place on which coloured dot. Easy-peasy. Until about the third move. We have nine kids. We have had Twister for about 16 years. We have had, what must add up to, months of enormous and ridiculous fun with it. It just is one of the simplest and most fun games on the market. The other stuff: Well, don't pay too much attention to the blurb. It has absolutly no educational value at all. Any child that doesn't know it's left from right and it's colours is almost certainly too short to play - though that shouldn't stop them from trying. And anyway, in the middle of the chaos that is Twister, they are not going to have time to worry about it. In this house when short people play they always end up getting lots of help, and cheating is standard. I've given it 2 stars anyway, because it seems to be a contemporary fixation that everything must be educational. My only complaint is on the durability side. The 'arm' comes off the board too easily. In 16 years we've had three Twisters.Then again, given the amount of use they've had maybe that's not such bad going.

My son aged five loves this game, I know that the age range is from 6 years on the actual box, but five is an ideal age to start trying it out.
It really gets small children to recognise colours and the shape of a circle without even thinking that they are learning something, you know what they say if they enjoy playing with something and it also teaches them something then it cann't be too bad a toy. (Cann't remember who said that, but from somewhere in my distant memory I can remember that being said when I was a child).
The game is quite robust even when five year old and 15 year old daughter and friends join in, it doesn't tear or rip and best of all it can be used outside in the summer, so instead of the children being couch potatoes, especially during the summer hols, get them outside with this, whilst you can have some peace inside without them!
The game can also be played with just two people, both of mine also play together and wear themselves out.
Great to take on a camping or caravanning holiday, small to pack but endless fun.
Good for adults too after a barbie, but not too much alchol though as could be a trip to casualty needed.
Glad I bought it as it did produce a good many laughs and gymnastics at the same time.
Quite a good priced game, if you think of the amount of times and people who can play it, without loosing lots of little pieces, great for a birthday present, as then when it comes to a quiet moment and prizes have run out, you know when younger ones want more and more prizes let them play this.
Have noticed that as of 5/5/07 when I was in Toysarus that they were doing a deal of buy any MB Game and get a free 12.99 Little Pets Tomagoche, or free football DVD (cann't remember exact title sorry) but well worth it as the Little Pets free gift is worth 12.99. I bought the Operation game for 9.99 and was amazed that my free gift was worth more than actual game I bought. (Could be worth putting away for present for someone for Birthday or Christmas).
