Pic-Tato
on November 7, 2026
Posted by: LisaD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is fun to play. You draw and people guess what it is, if time runs out you lose. You can only set it at 3 or more players, not sure why you can't list it at 2 or more also the music does get a little annoying with no volume adjustments.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fun addition to game night!
on November 6, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our family loves a good game night, and Pic-Tato is such a fun addition to our current games. The instructions are easy to understand, and it’s very nostalgic but with a “hot potato” twist on original Pictionary. We did feel that it could use a few changes to make it even better though. It only comes with two boards to draw on, and should include three at minimum since you have to keep erasing. Speaking of erasing, it could’ve come with a cute potato shaped eraser! We also found that sometimes the cards would get stuck when you tried to remove them and move on to the next clue. Overall, we really enjoyed playing this game, and it made us all laugh. I love that the boards and markers store right inside the game, making it easy to put away!

Lots of fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a great game for family fun nights. We had so much fun playing. It does require battery so make sure you have that and also use dry erase marker or have extra papers as backup . Great value for the price it retails for. Cute game.

New family favorite!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The game is easy to play. We had a 7yo, 12yo and two adults. The words are easy enough for the 7yo to read and draw.
We altered the rules a bit because it didn't make sense to skip the person who guessed, because then that person never got to draw if they were a good guesser. Maybe I misunderstood that though. There's almost no assembly so that was great. Really you just open and play. And all the pieces are stored inside the potato so that was great, I threw away the box.
Over all we really loved this game and will be playing it a ton.

Not as enjoyable as it looks
on November 3, 2026
Posted by: KatherineC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product itself it’s great in quality, the volume level for the music and voice is good as well, it just didn’t grab our attention and enjoyment. Getting through the clues felt awkward and messy as theres a timer and not enough white boards to go around, clean and begin the next clue to draw. Not a game we will be playing often.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great game for larger families
on November 3, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I played this game with my spouse and our five kids ranging in age from 8 to 12 years old. I appreciate that this game can have up to 8 players at one time as we have often struggled with finding games that our whole family can participate in. Each of my children could read the cue cards but the youngest struggled occasionally so I would agree with the 8 and up recommendation for playing. My only complaint was that the cue cards would shift and be unable to pop up the next word if the potato was passed aggressively so I would recommend for kids that are able to control their excitement. The game comes with two cards to draw on but it would have been nice to have one per player.

Fun high paced game for all ages
on November 1, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is extremely fun and fast paced. It kept my 10 year olds entertained. Once we figured out how to play it we could keep the game running smoothly. A few things to know is it requires 3 AAA batteries to play and you should have a means to wipe the dry erase boards clean in between turns. We used a damp paper towel. It would be nice to have more than two dry erase boards as it was a little chaotic to clean boards and play the next turn. The upside is using dry erase means you won’t run out of paper. Overall this was a fun game.
