Snippets - The Fast Paced Anything Goes Word Game

Created by Shaun Salzberg

Perfect for a party or family game night, Snippets is for 2-8 players and takes about 45 minutes. It can best be described as a combination of Scrabble and Scattergories, but unlike Scrabble, you don’t need a crazy vocabulary to win, unlike Scattergories there’s no ambiguity, and unlike most word games, the “smartest” player doesn’t always win.

Snippets -- The Award-Winning, Anything Goes Word Game!
almost 7 years ago – Wed, Jul 12, 2017 at 07:46:28 PM

(Try say that 5 times fast...)

 

Hello Snippets fans!

The game you helped bring to life less than a year ago has been busy! Since we last spoke, Snippets has been entertaining America's high IQ club, winning some cool awards, and putting itself out there in the wild world of retail. PLUS, we've got a BIG announcement coming up soon, so you may want to read to the end... Here's the scoop on what's been happening.

 

  

Snippets recently participated in the annual Mensa Mind Games competition in which hundreds of its high-IQ members played and judged nearly a hundred brainy games. Snippets earned the title "Recommended By Mensa Mind Games®", with Mensa members raving, "Fantastic fun for smart people!" and "This is the game for my family, my house, my life!"

 

 

Snippets also recently won a 2017 Parents' Choice Gold Award, the top honor given out and one that only 5 games received! In their review, Parents' Choice wrote, "Snippets has become a regular in our game cupboard in our home of word lovers and smiths."

 

 

Finally, we received a Top Fun award from reviewer of children's and educational products, TillyWig! TillyWig loved it, saying, "Snippets is one of the most delightful party and family games we've seen in quite some time."

 

 

Having so much fun you need to get another copy of the game? Well, Snippets can now be found in dozens of retailers around the country, including quirky product retailer UncommonGoods! Loved the game? Take a moment and write us a review on UG or Amazon!

 

  

And as promised, we have a BIG announcement coming up within the next two weeks that may very well change the game for Snippets. Curious? Stay tuned...

The Snippets Unboxing!
about 7 years ago – Tue, Apr 04, 2017 at 09:56:46 PM

 

Hello Snippets fans!

Exciting times! We just received the first, fully manufactured Snippets game... and it looks great!

As you may recall, every game box you've seen so far in the pictures and videos that we've posted (including the one above!) have just been one-off renderings or prototypes. They were simply cobbled together with cards printed at one random place, answer pads printed at another, the box at yet another, and everything taped or glued manually.

But the game box we just received is the first one made by the actual factory that will be making and shipping all of your games starting this week. Check out the unboxing video below. What you see is what you will get! 

 

Another update to come soon, but until then...
