Boggle is the 3-minute fast paced word search game that everyone in the family plays at once. It spells fast family fun for all ages! Shake up the 16 letter cubes, remove the dome, and GO! Try to find as many words of three or more letters as you can in 3 minutes. Form words by joining letters up, down, side-to-side and even diagonally. The longer and more unusual the words the higher your score. Families will learn this game in seconds, but enjoy playing for hours. For 2 or more players. Age: 8,9,10,11,12,Adult Manufacturer: Hasbro You can't beat a classic like Boggle for sheer return of fun on one's investment in a simple game. A small container holds 16 cubes, each cube marked with a different letter on each of its six sides. Give the container a good shake, and the cubes land within little pockets. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find as many words (of three-or-more letters) as you can--in three minutes. Points are tallied by word length. --Tom Keogh Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

This game is a great classic game. But what happened to Big Boggle? It provided more letters and longer words. To the reviewer wanting lights and applause for her daughter... puh-lease... :p

Great for competitive types looking to keep their brain exercised, keeping a dictionary handy is suggested, to avoid disputes

This game is my all time favorite! My husband and I play this game with our children ages 16, 12 and 8. Sometimes we play as teams. It is truly fun and eductional.

My grandmother bought Boggle for the family over twenty years ago, when I was in elementary school. We loved it, both kids and adults (I still own a copy), and played it often. My grandmother and her friends continued to play it even after we grew up: her original set was with her "game night" stuff when we sorted through her estate! (And it was still in good shape, too, though obviously much-played.)
Of course, Boggle is highly educational (especially spelling and vocabulary); it's a lot like a word find puzzle. But in Boggle, the letters don't have to be in a straight line. This encourages players to look at things in different ways, which of course helps with problem-solving skills.
More than being educational, Boggle really is fun. It's suitable for families or for all-adult groups. "Grown-ups," of course, will have an easier time finding words; the scoring takes this into account, though, so kids have a fair chance. The timed rounds keep the pace up, and at three minutes per round, it's easy to play a quick game or turn it into a marathon session.
One cool feature of Boggle is that only unique words count towards your score, so it's a race to find long, unusual words or words in unusual configurations. (Adults can get QUITE competitive!) The only drawback: shaking the cubes into place is VERY noisy, so don't play it while the youngest family members are asleep.
