Awesome family games from Megableu

We recently received a couple of awesome games from Megableu. Creepy Hand, which is based on the truth or dare concept, and Ghost Hunt Evolution which is one for when it’s dark! Here’s a bit about the games followed by a rather entertaining video showing how we got on!

Creepy Hand 

The Creepy Hand truth or dare game is designed for 2 or more players aged 7+. POD will be 5 on Christmas Day but she loved playing this. The cards vary in level of difficulty so it was great to be able to pick out the ones that were suitable for her. Who knew the POD Father could do the most hilarious cow impression. Or that POD would like her name to be Bernard if she had to change it!

With the Creepy Hand suitable for such a wide age group, there’s plenty to keep older children and adults entertained too. Truths include what’s your best claim to fame, have you ever done something wrong and have you ever broken wind in an embarrassing situation. Whereas a dare might be to eat a full slice of bread within a minute, pretend to be a performing seal or take off a players sock with your teeth!

PODcast - Creepy Hand

The game comes with a mechanical hand (you’ll need 3 AA batteries), a pack of 94 truth or dare cards and 6 joker cards. It’s really easy to play. The mechanical hand walks round the table in a circle raising its finger at a player when it stops. That player is then asked if they’d like a truth or dare.

If they’re successful and their answer is good enough, they get to keep their card. If not, they need to complete a forfeit. We didn’t get any forfeits but they’re just as good as the truths and dares. From spelling backwards to removing a piece of clothing to touching your toes without bending your knees! I can see this being one of those games you get out at a dinner party as well as being great for families! The winner of the game is the first person to collect 6 cards.

Ghost Hunt Evolution 

Ghost Hunt Evolution is for 1 or more players aged 5+. The pack includes Billy Bones (the electronic protector), an electric gun and a pair of multi-vision glasses. You’ll need 4 AA batteries for Billy Bones and 3 AAA batteries for the gun. All you need to do then set-up wise is attach Billy Bones’ feet to his body.

The object of the game is to shoot any ghosts and bats that appear in your darkened room. They’re about the size of an adult hand and can pop up anywhere including on your own body! The gun has 10 shots and a digital reader to show how many ghosts and bats you’ve shot. You get 1 point for ghosts and 3 points for bats.

PODcast - Ghost Hunt EvolutionThere are 3 difficulty levels (easy, average and difficult) and for each game you need to sync the gun with Billy by pressing the level you require and pointing the fire trigger at Billy. If you wear the glasses the number of ghouls you see is multiplied – 9 instead of 1. We discovered POD is very good at this game scoring 10 in the last round compared to the POD Father’s 8 and my 5!

You’ll see from the video below we had far too much fun with these games, they’re brilliant!

Creepy Hand and Ghost Hunt Evolution are available from Argos, Smyths, Firebox, Toys R Us, Toymaster, Amazon, Debenhams and Tobar.

We received Creepy Hand and Ghost Hunt Evolution from Megableu Games for the purpose of this review. Opinions are as always our own.

    They both look really good fun, and I know the creepy themes would appeal to my boys!

    I think my boys would really enjoy the Ghost Hunt game. It’s all about the war games and catching the bad guys around here these days, so I guess this will be right up their alley. I found the creepy hand one a bit too creepy, so I am guessing this one will be hilarious for my boys 🙂

    I think the creepy hand would go down well with my two 😉
