Wow Wee What's That Smell Board Game, for 13 years to 99 years

Product Information

This is such an awesome idea. I used it with my Girl Guide group. I put the items in disposable coffee cups with lids. It worked really well and the girls had a blast. I’m reaching for the tissue, now. This is so touching. I am constantly amazed at how people use games and craft ideas from my little corner of the internet. It really validates what I’m doing. I hope the game does exactly what you are thinking it will. It does makes sense that smells could trigger memories. What a wonderful moment that will be, if it works.

I love the disposable coffee cup idea! Thank you for posting this, I didn’t, have jars to play this with our kids & grandkids on Christmas, but thanks to your suggestion we can with the reusable travel type plastic coffee cups with lids that I have. 🙂 I’m so excited. Thank you for letting me know about your plans for your high school class. What a fun teacher. They will have a blast. WowWee’s What’s That Smell? is a game for 2-6 players and challenges players to guess the smell on the scratch and sniff cards, using just their nostrils. Some smells can be nice, while others are outright disgusting! It is recommended for ages 14+ and game time is from 15 to 30 minutes. The best sniffer wins and get to choose the loser who has to smell of the stinky Stank Cards in The Whiff of Shame! I set up the jars at the table and only let one person at a time come into the room to guess *The reason for that was that I didn’t want the person guessing to persuade the next person in any way. I wanted original guesses. whatsgoodtodo.com is a trading name of Toys and Clothes Limited which is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 04638670

Here’s What You’ll Need for Guess that Smell Christmas Game for the Whole Family to Play!

There is an app associated with the game available from the App Store or Google Play but you don't need it to play. As long as you have a nose, you’re pretty much good to go. So much fun! Here’s What You’ll Need for Guess that Smell Christmas Game for the Whole Family to Play! The game finishes when every player has smelt all of the cards. If there is a tie, the tied players take part in a rapid smell-off round where each player gets 15 seconds to name the smell of a random mystery card. The scores are then added up and the player with the highest number of points is the winner. But that is not where it ends! The winner then gets to choose one of the losing players to suffer the dreaded “Whiff of Shame”. The chosen player has to take 3 big whiffs of one of the Stanky Cards (Diaper Blowout, Extra Old Toe Cheese, Smothered in B.O. and Hot Chunky Vomit) handed over by the winner, not a pleasant experience! If you are using the app you can film their reaction on the ReekCam in slow-motion and share with your friends on social media. It would be fun to throw in something stinky– like the a smell version of the jelly bean game – bean boozled. What stinks at Christmas? Hmm… When it comes to getting the whole family involved in an entertaining activity, you can't beat board games. Get your hands on all-time classics such as Jenga, Monopoly and Cluedo and get the ball rolling on some fun family time.

So, if you want your festive season to be filled with fun and the smells of more than just Christmas, then I can highly recommend What’s That Smell? Yes! That would be a great substitute. The cocoa powder should be enough to remind them of hot chocolate. Thank you. 🙂 you can turn this game into a language activity like one reader did with her young children – talk about the smells, what it reminds them of and if they like the smell Forgive me for interrupting the Halloween and Fall posts with a little Christmas fun to share with you all. Last week, I bought supplies for a fun Christmas Game and the kids couldn’t wait to play it. Everyone- kids, teens and adults had a blast trying to Guess the Christmas Smells. Come on in and I’ll share how we Played Guess that Smell Christmas Game for the Whole Family to Play!I even threw in a bonus one that made everyone gag! Who knew Nutmeg was such a strong scent? Oopsies! Not one person guessed nutmeg. Since eggnog is A) liquid and B) not in stores – I opted for nutmeg as a substitute. If you want a good laugh, you should use nutmeg too! I gave them a point if they told me what the scent reminded them of from Christmas (as long as they weren’t way off) After the end of the game, have the players share their guesses and see which team scored the most points You can store the Stank Cards in the plastic bags provided so they don't leave a stink. I don't know how long the scents on the cards will last but I think if they are stored correctly they will be good to play with again and again. My jars are see-through for the photograph. To prevent cheating (it happens)…You’ll probably want to conceal your items in a non-see through jar or container

Christmas is the time when family and friends get together, so it is a great time to play party games. We were sent a fantastic, whiffy and gross game that is lots of nostril abusing fun; What’s That Smell? to play and review. This game really stinks!

Here’s a quick video on how I set up our Guess That Smell Game Containers…

You can decide on how you want to award points and how strict you’ll be about the guesses. I’m a complete push over and say “Yes” to just about any variation of the smell. Here’s what I did… Alternative Idea for Jars – Here’s a Great Idea from a reader as jar alternative! Use disposable coffee cups with lids! They are perfect for concealing the item and they have a tiny opening for smelling I love the spiced gum drops, so I’m adding these. Also, thinking about soaking cotton ball with egg nog. Maybe some sage or poultry seasoning for a turkey? Wish I could figure out the new baby doll smell 😉 Tape paper around the jars to conceal the contents. Just to be sure, you can give the players eye masks or bandannas to cover their eyes
