Unnecessary Inventions Game

Back to the Drawing Board

Creativity conquers all in this gadget-making family game-night challenge. With more than 70 prompts, the problem-solving competition asks up to six players to think outside the box while developing new inventions to tackle everyday situations. What gizmo could protect a car's hood from becoming a bird outhouse? What device would help block out the sounds from a neighbor's late-night house party? Set the timer and let everyone's inner inventors run wild. After drawing ideas on a dry-erase board, you'll score points when players vote for the best concept. Who knows? You may wind up with a patent-worthy product. Made in China.
