My middle school students LOVE this game. We play every other test review (so about twice a semester). I've been playing a homemade PPT version, so I'm super excited for this Mario themed one! My students play in teams of 5-6 players. We almost always finish in 40 minutes with about 5 minutes to spare for awarding prizes and clean up. The surprise/random element of mystery points makes it a new adventure each time. I also edit to include "steal" or "trade" points. Thanks for the excellent formatting and fun theme! - Anon

AMAZING game. The class was extremely excited to open the Mystery Box. And it allowed for all students to participate and not worry about the points based on ability. - Anon

Played with both older and younger elementary students, older usually finishes the game, younger usually has a few questions left. - Anon

My Japanese students loved this. Created grade 3 through 6 versions. Every class had a blast trying to give the other team bombs. - Anon

Played in 5-6 teams. Material was fairly easy, so the game went pretty fast. They start out much faster, but once they see how the points work, they spend more time deciding to keep or pass. - Anon

Played this today with the 6th grade, they loved it! At one point they got the boo two turns in a row so switched between 0 and 4000 points back and forth. There was a lot of...excitement haha. Thanks for making these quality games, I'll definitely be checking out more. - Anon
