Exploding Kittens & Kitten Games Tryazon Party!!

 

    


  We began our "Gameschooling" Journey in December of 2019 and it has been such a joy!  One of our favorite brands has been Exploding Kittens!  Our first Exploding Kittens game was the original, namesake and we love it! It's an awesome family friendly party game!  Then Lucas got Throw Throw Burrito, after he GAVE it as a Secret Santa gift.  We had so much fun playing those two originals with our friends and family, that when Tryazon offered an opportunity for the new Kitten Games line I knew we wanted to be a part of that!  

    We received "Hurry Up Chicken Butt", "A Hot-Potato game with jumping, laughing, and lots of animal noises! (And secretly...a little bit of exercise)."

This game encourages:

▪ Physical activity ▪ Quick thinking ▪ Creativity ▪ Family bonding

How to Play

Each player has a "nest" for the chicken to land on.  When it comes to you, shake the Chicken to reveal your activity, then quickly perform it before passing the Chicken Shaker to the next player. Don’t get caught holding the Chicken when the timer goes off! 

Some activities include, singing the ABCs, clapping your feet together, hopping on one foot, and other silliness.  If you roll a pink you have to find the chicken butt and touch it!  

This game is fast, funny and it’s different every time. Plus, everyone has an equal chance to win...especially the little ones! It's perfect for family game night or encouraging groups of kids to play together. You’ll laugh your butt off!

AGE 4+ ● 2-6 players ● 2 Min


We also received, "The Best Worst Ice Cream", a logic and matching game where you match delightfully DISGUSTING ice cream flavors (and secretly...learn a little bit of strategy)!"

Encourages:
▪ Reasoning skills. ▪ Flexible thinking. ▪ Pattern recognition ▪ Family bonding

How to Play

Each player will use reasoning and creative thinking to match flavors and fill their IceCream Cone.   Parents and older siblings will have fun playing along. It’s easy to learn and fast to play with funky flavors that spark creative conversations.  Each card has three potential ice cream flavors on it, the clues to the flavor are shown on the back.  Players guess which flavor they think the card will reveal based on the cards already played and how many cards are left in the game.  If they guess correctly, players add all of the exposed cards in that flavor to their ice cream cone card.  If they guess wrong, the flavor goes on the tabletop for someone else to collect later!  

AGE 4+ ● 2-5 players ● 10 Min



After opening these two new Kitten Games and checking them out, I ran out to Target and bought "I Want My Teeth Back" too!  I knew these games would all be a hit with our family and friends!  

Even though the box says for ages 4 and up, my big kids really enjoyed this game a lot!  






The way Tryazon works is that they send you products and then you host an event with your friends and family to share that product!  You get to keep the product in exchange for your HONEST reviews and promotion!  I've never had a product that I didn't truly love and I will happily share about things that work for our family!  

We decided to theme our party around The Best Worst Ice Cream game, and hosted an ice cream sundae party!  I found gummy worms, gummy hot dogs, gummy pizzas, and candy eyes to use as toppings to coordinate with the "disgusting" flavors found in the game.  We also made green slime as snail slime!  
















    After everybody had enjoyed their ice cream sundaes, we broke out the games and took turns trying them out!  

    The boys were a little rowdy with the Hurry Up Chicken Butt game, but they had a lot of fun.  We played round after round until only 2 players remained!  

















I liked that we could choose the 3 activities that the colors represented or leave it up to chance and just flip a card.  The children enjoyed being silly and racing to sing their ABCs or hop around the circle on one foot.  The many options will make this game a winner time and time again, because the game play won't ever be exactly the same!  Even the adults got in on the silly actions and stretched their creative muscles!  

Another thing that I appreciated was that the chicken's cluck and "scream" aren't too loud.  With kids on the autism spectrum and with sensory processing disorder that is a definite concern for us!  

After that, we moved to the table to play some "Best Worst Ice Cream".  

This game is so cute and easy for the kids to pick up.  They can play with as much or as little attempt at strategy as they are able and still have just as much chance at winning.  Our four year old players did great with minimal help.  










As the pictures show the kids really did have a great time playing!  All three of the Kitten Games that we tried out will be regulars in our household.
