Really wanted to love this game. It was fun for what it was, but the hangman kept falling off and we never made it past the 1st foot. It fall every time the first foot would attach.

I was worried after seeing so many reviews saying the magnet wasnt strong enough but it works perfectly. Everything holds until you add the last leg, then he falls. Even comes with a spinner to make the game more interesting. Item is exactly as described and works as intended.
Exciting concept but worst game ever!

Game sounded fun and was excited for a word game where the whole family could be involved. As others stated the hang man does not stay on the hook longer than 1-2 pieces added and if it is pulled to side the magnets don’t work and it falls. My kids tried several times ages 9 and 6 and could not get it to work. I am returning this tomorrow. Do not buy! Use paper and pencil instead.
Not enough letters

The game is fun and Hankman stays put together if you are very careful. The only issue is there are not enough of some letters to make common words. For example, there is only one B and only one P. I emailed the company about a week ago regarding this issue, but have not gotten a response from them.
Too much

The cowboy figure is fun but it ends there. All other parts aren’t great. Just stick with paper or wipe board.

Please ignore any of the good reviews, if you are thinking of buying this game “DONT”!! The stand where the hangman goes isn’t sturdy enough to hold the hangman up. The hat part does not stay on the hook that is used to hang on. The head and body parts of the hangman are so heavy that they dont stay attached long enough to even start to play a game.
Disappointed

We were so excited to play this as a family, it looked like such a fun, reimagined concept. But quickly realized that he doesn't stay together. The magnets aren't strong enough to hold all the pieces on throughout game play. He falls apart once you place more than an arm on the body. Waste of money.

It’s a fun concept however once you place more than one piece Hank falls apart. Therefore making this game somewhat useless. My 7 year old was quite disappointed that he kept falling apart before all his pieces were added. Only 3 pieces added before it falls apart.
Hank isn't worth the buy

The game is fun, yes, but Hank is not worth the buy. You’re better off sticking to the old fashioned way of pen and paper. Hank is made of poor quality. Hank does not stay on the pole for very long and if you connect another body part to Hank while he is hanging - good luck he will fall before all the pieces even get connected. Also, there are not enough letter pieces. For example, the game only came with 1 letter “B” so again good luck picking a word with more than that letter; and that’s not the only letter that comes with 1 or 2 pieces either.
Isnt buimt well.

My kid wants this game so bad, but the magnetic pieces don’t hold very well. Hank falls with just a little touch. It’s just not strong enough. I wish I would have read the reviews and now I can’t return it because my kid was too excited he tore the box up opening it.
Fun idea, BAD DESIGN

Hank falls apart on off of the gallow. Magnetic body parts or quick release mechanism DOES NOT WORK… What a bummer.

I think we all recall playing this with nothing more than a notepad and time in days long gone. When i saw the option for a new and reimagined version I absolutely had to have it to play with my own sixth grade son. Ohhhh my goodness the fun we had with this! It's everything you wanted the notepad to be and more
Fun for the whole family

We weren’t quite sure what to expect out of this version of the game but we had fun figuring it out. The pieces were fairly easy to pack up, with some work but a fully enclosed box would’ve made it much easier. For that reason I also wish there was some sort of storage sleeve for the letters. Pay close attention to the order in which you add the pieces to the stand, and you’ll get that intended collapse. We had a lot of fun playing this version and will be enjoying it for game nights!
Okay game, but need more than 3 people to play

Okay game, but a little difficult to set up and play. Really requires 3 or more players. One person has to be the “judge”and they can see the word and say if the letter guessed is present or not. So for 2 people to guess and play, there really needs to be 3 people. The magnetic hangman tends to fall off before the last piece is put on. Overall, it’s a tangible game over the old way we played hangman back in the day on a piece of paper.
Love it

I absolutely love this game. My kids spent hours playing and rebuilding. This is a very modern version of the old hangman game that was played in paper. The pieces connect magnetically and it was so much playing with my kids. I highly recommend this game!
