Editors’ Rankings
TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!

Assembly & Instructions
Teams of two or three players each compete against one another. The team going first rolls the die and moves the team token the number of spaces rolled on the die. A player from that team picks a card and reads the Name 5 challenge corresponding to the color of the space on which the token has landed. Another member of the team starts the timer. The team then has 30 seconds to answer the Name 5 challenge. Team members may yell out answers as they think of them, so there will be a lot of yelling going in this game. (But make sure you only yell out answers when it's your team's turn. You don't want to get so excited that you help out the other team.) Keep track of all the answers, and if the team comes up with five answers, they roll again for another Name 5 challenge. If the team can't get five answers, it's the next team's turn. The team that moves their token to the Name 5 space in the center of the board and completes all the Name 5 challenges on one card in 90 seconds wins. Special spaces on the game board change up gameplay, such as the Double Down space, which means the team must choose two Name 5 challenges and answer them successfully in 30 seconds. The questions in this fast-paced party game may seem easy, but even if you know all the answers, how well do you perform under pressure?
This is a great new party game that is easy to learn, something you want to play again, and is different every time you play it. Best of all, since it draws on information you most likely already know, it's not intimidating. Truly, the challenging (and hilarious) part of this game is trying to get your mind to access information you already know under time pressure.
