Twister Review

Twister Feature

• Uproarious classic game of physical skill
• A spinner tells players where on the mat to place their hand or foot
• Develops skills in balance, coordination, and color identification
• Twister is the game that ties you up in knots. Spin the dial and move a hand or foot to the colored circle on the floor mat.
• Players become increasingly entangled, until someone (or everyone) finally topples, and is eliminated. The last person standing or crouching wins.

Over forty years old and going strong! Soon after its release in 1966, Twister was made instantly popular when Johnny Carson and Eva Gabor played it on The Tonight Show. Such a simple concept, with so much potential for hilarity. The game includes a plastic mat with red, blue, yellow, and green spots; a spinner; and instructions. To play (as if you didn’t already know…), two to four players face each other, with the plastic mat in the center. A referee spins the spinner, then calls out the body part and the color the arrow points to ("Left foot, blue," "Right hand, yellow"). All players, at the same time, follow the directions, placing the appropriate body part on a vacant circle. Players become increasingly entangled, until someone (or everyone) finally topples, and is eliminated. The last person standing—er, crouching—wins. If this doesn’t bring families and friends (and celebrities) closer together, we don’t know what does! Out-and-out fun. --Emilie Coulter Twister is the game that ties you up in knots.
