Bananagrams

“The anagram game that will drive you bananas!”

Requiring no pencil, paper or board, Bananagrams comes in a small portable banana shaped pouch and is perfect fun for kids from 7 – 97 years-old, at home or on the go. Created by a word game-obsessed family of three generations (National Geographic Kids - A Family Goes Bananas and Creates Their Own Game!), Bananagrams is a labor of love that that has quickly become an international phenomenon. Bananagrams is available online as a free Facebook Application and on the iPad™, iPhone™ and iTouch™ as well as in a series of books.

Appletters

“An apple a day for us all to play!”

Appletters is a strategic game of lettered tiles, packed in an apple pouch. Originally designed with younger players in mind, Appletters features three levels of play to amuse children and challenge adults. Players take turns building a “snake” of words that stretches across the table. New words are added to the first or last letter of the “snake”, and the first player to use all their tiles wins. It’s an addictive, intense, and exhilarating game, but the fun doesn’t end there. You can use the same tiles to play Applescore, with bonus points for big words, and Apple Turnover, where words can be replaced— but only with longer words. One game, three levels of play.  6+, 3 levels of play

ZIP-IT is an exhilarating, high-speed, two-player game played with 24 lettered cubes and colored scoring zippers that come built into the pouch.

Playable on an airplane or train tray, ZIP-IT is the ultimate travel game. Each pouch includes a WEORDS dictionary of weird words that win word games!  7+, literally can play anywhere - a travel must-have!
