My family and I love to play board games together. Once every couple weeks I take my kids over to my parents house where all my siblings, their kids and our parents get together for a big family game night. We are always looking for new fun and exciting games so we were all excited when I received some games from YULU Toys for review and to include in our Holiday Gift Guide this year. The first of these games was Operation: Escape Room. This game is for ages 6 and up and for 2 to 6 players total. It comes with a timer strap, a key cage, two sticks, one quizmaster, 45 quiz cards, a lucky spinner and three keys. This game is super fun! It is a cooperative game so you must work together to solve puzzles to free your friend or family member. It is high paced and loads of fun! Break Free is another fun game. It is for ages 6 and up and for 2 to 4 players. It comes with 4 handcuffs, 12 mazes, 12 victory coins, and rules. This one is super fun as well only you are competing against each other instead of working together. You are each wearing hand cuffs and have to solve your maze first in order to break free. The person to get their hand cuff off first wins. This one has become a new favorite at game night. The last one is Safe Breaker and it is also for ages 6 and up and for 2 to 4 players. This one comes with a safe, a spy stethoscope, 18 cards, 15 coins, 4 stickers and rules. This one takes a bit of memory and luck to crack open the safe. You pick a card and turn the safe combination to what the card says. Then you use the fingerprint scanner to see if the code you entered was correct. If the light turns green, you win and the safe will open and release coins. If it is red you use your spy stethoscope to listen to a code in the safe to help determine the right combination. Each person who wins coins must return them to the safe but the first spy to collect 5 golden coins or two diamond coins first wins the game. This one is super fun too but I would say its best for ages 8 and up. It took my kids some time getting used to it, but once they did they wanted to play it again and again. All three of these games are fun, entertaining and have a bit of a challenge to them. They are extremely interactive and get your kids up and moving a bit! These games would make amazing gifts this Christmas and I highly recommend them!
Disclosure: I received these products for free, in exchange for my honest review, which may differ from yours. Regardless, I only recommend products and services I used personally, and believe will be a good fit for consumers.
