 Fun gameMay 12, 2010
We used it for the first time at a Christmas party with friends. We had a hoot. There were about 12 of us and we used teams. It was great.

Good choice for family game night!Sep 15, 2009
This was on my sister's wish list and after reading the description, I was a little skeptical. I wasn't sure how much fun this would be but I figured I'd give it a shot. It would be a good break from our usual favorite, Cranium.
It was a little slow at first since it takes some time to get used to giving commands, but once you play for a little while, it gets easier. The same goes for the person doing the drawing. Once you get the hang of it though, it is pretty close to Pictionary. One of the differences is that sometimes you can do a better job of guessing by listening to the person giving the directions than actually looking at the drawing. Sometimes it just doesn't translate well from spoken word to drawing, so listening helps.
One of the funniest parts is seeing what the other teams' drawings look like after the round is over. It usually gives us some of the biggest laughs of the night. Let's just say some people are much better direction givers than others. :)
All in all, it is a fun concept for a game. It is a good change of pace from some of the games in our normal rotation, but it didn't jump to the top of the list of favorites. It can be frustrating for someone who doesn't do a good job of verbalizing what is in their head, but we'll definitely play it again.
Greatest Party Game Ever!!!!Sep 09, 2009
I'm the organizer for the Orlando Game Night Meetup Group and we LOVE this game. Our game nights are not complete without it. It's a great game to learn (or relearn) communication skills. It does not matter if you are young or old, I think you will enjoy this game. It is just an overall great game and we appreicate Out ofthe Box games for supporting our Meetup Group.

Backseat Drawing... like Pictionary with a twist!Jun 30, 2009
Though not a winner of the coveted Mensa Select seal, Out of the Box Publishing Backseat Drawing Game was an entry at the 2009 Mensa Mind Games. Of all the games I reviewed that weekend, this is one of the ones I knew my family would enjoy the most. Once I got home, I bought Out of the Box Publishing Backseat Drawing Game and it has been a BIG hit with the family! So far those playing here at home have been two guys (ages 19 and 47) and three girls (ages 13, 19 and 38).
Out of the Box Publishing Backseat Drawing Game is somewhat on the order of Pictionary, but with a definite twist... The person drawing has no clue what the answer is! One player from each team gets to see the answer and then has to instruct their partner on what to draw, without using words to make it obvious what the answer is. The artist and any other team members then have to decipher the drawing and come up with the correct answer. This game is a LOT of fun and definitely a challenge!
Back Seat Drawing is awesome!May 19, 2009
Back Seat Drawing has been enjoyed by both my 9 year old son and my 91 year old grandmother at family parties!
