The catch? You can only use a handful of randomly drawn word magnets. Let the weirdness begin.

Perfect for ages 15+

How would you answer the question “how are babies made?” if you only had a handful of random words to do it? Let your wit shine with outlandish metaphors and creative word association.

In Ransom Notes, the more absurd the better.

The Party Game So Addictively Funny That Phones Go Unchecked for Hours

Get hilariously creative (without getting stuck)

In Ransom Notes, there’s no getting put on-the-spot. You don’t even need to be naturally funny! All you have to do is answer the prompt with whatever words you have available… and let laughs ensue.

Your #1 source for new inside jokes

Will people stare when your friends refer to alcohol as “commotion juice?” Yes. Will it be worth it? Absolutely.

Fresh material every single round.

With other party games, you can only play so many times before you learn all the response cards. With Ransom Notes, there are no repeats. Ever.

No complicated directions, no long explanations. In fact, if you made it this far, you probably already know the rules!

“Instant inside joke generator”

“We all find this game absolutely hysterical and love how low-pressure it is. Family members drop in and out throughout the game and keeping score is completely out of mind. It takes less than 1 minute to teach someone how to play.”

Vee S.

“Had us all literally crying laughing”

‘It sounds cliche at this point, but it was true: this game had us all laughing so hard we cried. I was skeptical that the game would be this funny, but almost every round was hilarious. Four adults and four teens, and we all had a fantastic time.”

Sharon G.
