The game sharpens vocabularies, boosts test-taking skills and fosters a love of language in a fun ad competitive format. Players use facts from four categories — word origin, fill-in-the-blank, definition and synonyms — and gain an intensive knowledge of each word. The game also includes vibrant visual reminders to heighten vocabulary retention. "The unique game mechanic of asking for specific word clues causes players to scan and remember clues (accompanied by stimulating images) takes vocabulary building to a higher level!" McNeill Designs for Brighter Minds LLC President Martin Uniacke told TDmonthly. This product is a 2008 iParenting Media Award winner. Launch date: November 2007.

The add-on decks are 80-card expansions that enhance, personalize and modify the original game. Available add-on decks include the Reader’s Digest Word Power Challenge Pack, the Gourmet/Cuisine Deck, the Pop Culture Deck, the Sci-fi/Fantasy Deck and the Sports Highlights Deck. Launch date: October 2007.

Using a deck of cards containing conjugations of funny words, famous names, places and wild cards, players make grammatically correct, justifiable sentences. They then read these aloud and explain their meaning to the jury (other players). The jury votes on whether the sentence and justification stand and then scores. The 540 cards, with more than 2,500 words, insure billions of possible sentences and laughs. “This is truly the first patented game in history to turn language into a seriously hilarious game,” Chairman Don McNeill of McNeill Designs for Brighter Minds told TDmonthly. The game received the 2006 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal and the iParenting Media “HOT” Award, and was a winner of the FAO Schwarz Inventors Toy Audition. Launch date: May 5, 2005. Read Review

Twisted Fish takes the traditional “Go Fish” and casts it into the 21st century. Challenging game play requires strategy, deception and bluffing skills, plus an intact sense of humor. Five suits add an extra element of difficulty. Watch out for tricky “Zinger” Cards like the “Dead Scuba Diver” or the “Two Fisted Fisherman.” Rendered in colorful, original comic illustrations by Hollywood special-effects artist Jody Fedele, these funny fish provide a unique glimpse of what's really going on under the sea. The game includes 65 Playing Cards, 8 "Zinger" Cards, Quick Reference Cards, and a Rules Sheet. It is for 3 to 6 players, and was an FAO Schwarz Inventors Toy Audition winner.
