Google Review
★★★★ Todd North I ran the game online as a virtual happy hour for my team with great success. There were a few hiccups at the beginning not related to the product, but once we got over that it was good. The team did struggle with the concept of swapping clues in the first round, but it became obvious to them after the first reveal of their theories. We will be looking for another one to do in the future.
