Educational Insights Wheel of Fortune Game - Handheld Electronic Game, Great for Travel, Classic Retro Party Games for Kids, Teens & Adults, Word Puzzle Challenge & Entertaining Gift, Ages 8+

This is a fun and educational word game! It’s like playing Wheel of Fortune at the convenience of your fingertips. Very nice and easy to use. When I saw this game at first online, it wasn’t clear how the money accumulated was shown, but then I learned, that you use the right arrow button to view the current round total and the game total. The sounds of the game are excellent, including the Bankrupt wedge. I checked to see if the dollar amount goes up as it should with consonants and subtract as it should with vowels, and checked to make sure the dollar amount goes to zero on Bankrupt. I have yet to land on the Million Dollar wedge. Play Classic or Toss Up mode. Great quality game, and convenient in size to take wherever or play at home, and well worth the cost. I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves Wheel of Fortune like me. Try it today!

Fun travel game! Very durable even with small kids! Enjoyable for all ages and a fun gift! Good price and it has lasted a long time.

Limited but amuses. Good road trip game.

The media could not be loaded. This is my new favorite game! I had been looking for something that was a word puzzle type of game, that didn’t require me to be on my cell phone. I love how they feature lots of different categories of puzzles and I think my favorite feature by far is the fact that I can Reduce the volume. For me, it’s a nice game to play during my lunch breaks or down time when I don’t want to be on the phone, to challenge my mind a bit. I also have a family in her 80s who loves Wheel of Fortune and I think this would be a nice gift for her upcoming birthday.A note on the batteries- When I first receive this, I put the required batteries in and it did not turn on for some reason. But I put them back in again and it has been working great ever since.

Didn't work at all!!! Came broken.

Since receiving this as a gift, it's been played every day! If not by me, then by my kids (4 & 8) or my nephew (13) or some other family member. Everyone of all ages loves it!!!What we love:1. It's a simple black and white old school digital screen, which I prefer for my children.2. It's easy to use, even my 4 year old has easily picked it up. Even if he isn't solving the puzzles, he is having fun practicing his letters.3. The voice. We love Jimmy McGuire! :)4. It's a fun and engaging way to play, without being glued to phone or television screen. This is definitely coming on the airplane with us next trip! My kids even love bringing it in the car to play. I may have to get two because someone they fight over it! Speaks well for the game.5. It's a good price point for a fun gift. Again, for all ages over 4+!6. Game has two game play modes which is fun to change up depending on who is playing. (Toss-Up or Classic)7. I'm not sure how many puzzles are loaded into the game (since we just got it this week), but hopefully there are lots, as this would impact the fun of continuous play.I do have one suggested change for future models. Please keep the category displayed during game play or make it accessible in the toggle, like the letters and $$. Maybe it's just mom brain, but I keep forgetting the category while playing! LOL!

So for years I've had the WoF game by Tiger, with cartridges that added more puzzles. Last year it got irreparably damaged, so while seeking a replacement, I came across this. I will share my thoughts, but first a note: I'm a collector of LCD games but I don't keep them packaged, I actually enjoy using them.The first thing I don't like is that it's only one player. There is no CPU competition and thus no way to lose. The only way to get what is considered a failure is to solve wrong, but there's nothing to stop you from guessing every letter of the alphabet before then.Also the manual says it is six rounds to a game. Too many, in my opinion. You're better off playing one or two at a clip, because there's a set number of built in puzzles.The "Toss-Up" feature is similar to those stitched into the actual show, but again, there is nothing stopping you from letting every letter appear.The box says it's for ages 8 to 108. But I doubt folks--like a middle-age chap such as myself—in their later years will have much fun with it. Or maybe they will! People play iphone games that are of this, or less, quality.I classify this as a "boredom toy", for me anyway. Not that my other Tiger, Radica, etc products can be called too much more.. but nothing can replace the Tiger WoF for me.I'll probably play it occasionally. Now, if Educational Insights could develop iterations of other game shows, then they'd start being of interest to me as a set, for collection purposes.I've seen several reviews that the unit is dead on arrival. I'm grateful mine wasn't.

This is such a good price and so entertaining! Honestly I’m amazed it’s not $30. Been playing for a few days and there hasn’t been any repeat games yet.
