                   OUR EXPERIENCE:

                       
Are you ready for fun? Are you ready for challenge? If you answered yes to one or both of those questions you may be ready for Anagramania!

Anagramania proved to be a real treat! Even as an adult I found myself asking "What the heck??" a few times. This game is both challenging and fun for all ages 8 and above.

If you are not familiar with what an anagram is, here is a simple explanation: an•a•gram A word or phrase formed by re-arranging the letters of another word or phrase.

In this game you are presented with clues. The clues range in difficulty. The words used to form the anagram are highlighted so you are able to easily tell which letters you are working with to solve the puzzle. By using the clue given and the letters, you work to solve the puzzle.

All players work to solve the anagram at the same time. Once you have the answer, write it on your play sheet. The other players then have a limited time (1 minute) to also complete the puzzle and write their answers down. If they do not succeed, play moves on anyway. The player with the most solved anagrams wins.

Two to six players may play at a time. The game comes in the junior level and the intermediate level, so all ages will be challenged and can play together.

This game will both challenge the players and help to increase their use and knowledge of the english language. Great to implement this as a tool for learning in a homeschool or classroom setting, or use to enhance a child's educational experience at home, when playing for fun.

This is not another "no brainer" board game. This game will make you really think at times. We all found a few "stumpers" when playing. Puzzles we could not figure out, no matter how hard we tried. Though this was a rare occassion, most just took some thought, it was nice to see we could all be truly stumped from time to time.

If you are tired of the same old same old, in game play - try Anagramania! It is a great new way to have fun as a family or as a group of friends. Not many games have I found to be as enriching, engaging and captivating as I have this one. Anagramania is a true blast!



Here's an example of an Anagramania clue:

She felt it just wasn't right.

By re-arranging the letters of the highlighted word 'felt', you can make the word 'left'. In other words, 'left' is an anagram of 'felt', and it is also the correct answer to the clue because 'left' isn't 'right'!
