Find It Games Review {Giveaway too!!}

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Please review my disclosure policy.
When I was contacted by Find It Games I was very excited. I knew right away that my kids would love having a Find It Game.

What exactly are Find It Games? They are contained adventures; creative games that never needs to be put away. Find It Games are ideal to play anywhere: at home, in the office, in your car. People of all ages can enjoy the hunt for the hidden objects buried within the layer of recycled plastic pellets. Alone or with friends, everyone will enjoy spinning it, shaking it, and twisting the game until all the objects are found.

Since we are trying to play more games together as a family, I opted for the Find It Games Deluxe Edition. The Deluxe Edition has over 70 hidden items. The game also includes a deck of cards with the hidden objects, a spinner, a timer, a hidden object check pad, and instructions for 6 ways to play and variations to adapt for younger players.


Our experience with Find It:  This game is a HUGE hit in our home! We adjusted one of the variations so that even our almost 3 year olds can play along! The kids ask to play almost every night! I leave the game out throughout the day so that the kids play with it. On numerous occasions I have seen them shaking, twisting, and turning the game and then I hear them enthusiastically yell out that they have found something new. Needless to say, my kids love this game!

What is surprising, is that I love this game as much, if not more that they do! My husband often catches ME shaking, twisting, and turning the game trying to find the few objects I have yet to discover. For the record, I have found everything except the screw and the infamous penny! Our Find It Game has, without a doubt, become our current game of choice for family night. So, if you happen to hear us chanting "find it, find it," you know what we are doing!!!
