Description Edit | History

GiftTRAP was voted "Best Party Game of the Year 2008" by Games Magazine, proving that while buying real gifts can be traumatic; giving virtual gifts to find out how people really feel is heaps of fun. Be prepared for some surprises!

It's the hilarious social conversation starter that will get you and your friends talking about things that matter.

Despite there being hundreds of party games, it's rare to find one that adults and children both LOVE playing.

Unlike other party games you don't need skills in drawing, acting or trivia so it works well when you have a crowd of mixed ages/skills.

For ages 8 and up.

GiftTRAP is played over a series of rounds. Each round has the following steps;

  • DEAL - deal random gifts from one of the packs of gifts.
  • SHOP - think about how you match these gifts to the players.
  • GIVE - give one of these gifts to each player (using gift tokens).
  • GET - choose which gifts you want yourself (using get tokens Ok, Good, Great & No Way).
  • REVEAL - show people what you wanted and what your were given by each player.
  • SCORE - the giver and the receiver score for each gift (the giver gets GIVING points, the receiver gets GETTING points).
