Editorial Review
Ever play "Hot Potato" with a spud that ticks and talks? Welcome to Electronic Catch Phrase, the battery-powered (three AAA, not included) blend of clue deduction and race against the clock. Two teams of two or more players each alternate turns, guessing the answers to clues in 11 categories, from Food & Drink to Tech & Inventions. Set the timer on the discus-like game unit, and the clue-giving countdown begins; if a team's guess matches the response on the game's readout, pass the unit to the opponents. Just don't get caught holding this potato when the buzzer sounds (after about a minute of increasingly insistent beating), as the other team will score a point, possession being nine- tenths of the "Awww!" With its infectious mix of fast, nerve-wracking, high- pressure passing the buck, Electronic Catch Phrase spreads a serious case of fun. --Tony Mason

 Fun, , simple, portable game February 15, 2010
H. Winters (CA)
This is a fun game. Good with a group that doesn't know each other well. There isn't much to it and it's easy to carry around as it's all inclusive. If you play it a lot, you may start to notice repeats, but overall it's a good purchase.
 Catch Catch Phrase Fever February 7, 2010
Stuart Stewart (Baton Rouge, LA.)
This is one of the most delightful games I've played as an adult. It's like the old TV game "You Don't Say" in that you get to describe a person, place or thing and try to get your partner to say the exact word or phrase. It's all timed, and you don't want to get caught with the device when the final buzzer goes off. You learn quickly about others players in the game - their competitive nature REALLY shines through (or not)!

 Fun for the first hour but... December 30, 2009

Great fun for the first hour of play, second game was almost all repeated words, by the third game we knew every word/phrase. Not worth the money.
Lots of fun November 27, 2009
Cielo Azul (Chicago, IL USA)
My family really loves playing this game. First off, we don't play hot-potato style only because we kept dropping the game. Instead we split up into teams and each person on the team takes a turn doing all the phrases until time runs out then we pass it off to the next team. We keep score based on how many phrases are correctly guessed by the team vs. who is still holding the game when the timer goes off. This game is a lot of fun, but does have it's flaws. As many other reviewers have pointed out, there's no "off" switch, which would help out when traveling with it. Also, Hasbro would make a lot more money if they had a version that could be updated with new phrases (like on a memory card). After a while the phrases start to repeat.
My last recommendation is to buy it at Wal-Mart for the lowest price. I have no idea why Amazon has it priced so high.
