Hi Ken Okay I kind of get the idea but what do the balls have to do with it? Sorry if this is dense. Had the in-laws over and some wine. *grin*

I got the Say What game for Christmas--early! It's a great game, and totally accessible. It has three skill levels (easy, medium, and hard,) and four games--timed mode, guess mode, timed extreme mode and guess extreme mode. When you start, you can select up to four players (I think it's four,) and the skill level and game. Then, you press start--a big round button very easy to differentiate from the rest. There are hundreds of phrases, and depending on how well you do the difficulty increases. On the easy skill level it gives you more time in the next round if you missed one. Usually, there are five rounds unless there's a tie between two players. In timed mode, the time starts at 30 and goes down 5 seconds per round. In guess mode, you get 5 guesses and they decrease by 1 per round. That's not a whole lot of time and guesses to unscramble that phrase. Yeah, I know, you're just dying to ask me, "How do you play it!" There are five balls--well, half balls anyway. You have to keep the game put up in a safe place so you don't lose any of them. Anyway, when you start a scrambled phrase is spoken--and if it comes from a song it is often sung. Then, you rearrange the balls until you get them in the right order. I don't mean that you simply press ball-shaped buttons, you physically take balls off and put them in new places until you've got it right. It takes time, but if you're stuck there's a hint button you can press a s well. The hints tell you where the phrase came from--music, pop culture, movies and so on. This game is a great game to play alone, but an even better party game provided you can keep all the balls together and on the game. The only thing I would change is that the quicker you solve the puzzle, the more points you would get. In the game, you always get one point per unscrambled phrase. My seven-year-old daughter hates hand-held electronic games. I guess they bore her, but she asked my wife to get this for her for Christmas before I ever told her about it, so it's sure to be something you can share with the whole family. You can get it at just about anywhere in the states, and there's a sight called firebox.com that sells it too--just google it. You can put this in the mag if you want too--I know there are lots of readers who aren't on the mailing list, and I want everybody to know about all the games that are accessible. Enjoy the game!
