Product Description
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 surface 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
Manufacturer's Description
You're sure to get yourself in a twist! Spin the spinner and make your move, placing the correct part of your body on one of the circles of the colour demanded by the spinner. Twist yourself around all the other players to make sure you reach your circle. The last person standing wins.

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.

A good fun game for all the family. Everyone joined in at Christmas, although, the kids found it easier than the adults. We all had a laugh but it's not a game to play for a great length of time; the amusement wears off after about half an hour.

The quality is really good, but I think that at some point the nylon will break. If they can make one from cotton tissue, it will be the best. Because of the dog we have, the whole nylon got in dog hair and it is hard to remove. But despite that, it is a great game :) Would recommend it.

Not fun as I twisted my ankle.
You decide if you like the education or not, I say it's OK.
It's very durable.
Overall, a difficult five.
