[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Classic childhood toy. Ask it a yes or no question and say a little prayer the answer you want shows when you turn it over. Tap at it to get the air bubbles down a bit. Not for too young, they tend to drop or throw it and it can crack or leak.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Rating this product based on our office having one as it was misdelivered and never received at my home. This is a fun, whimsical item that is best used for yes/no type of questions. The inky liquid around the answers provides an air of mystery to the toy providing "answers" to your most burning questions. Quality construction, I have found they last for years with gentle use. Not a toy to play catch with as it can break when dropped.
Magical

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 8 ball is something I loved as a kid, and being able to play this again as an adult brings back so many memories. Now my four kiddos get to enjoy it as I did. It’s made well and getting answers from it is so much fun. It totally keeps the kids engaged and hearing them giggle while playing with it makes me so happy.
Oldie but goodie !

I thought this was so nostalgic and great as a birthday gift for a 6 year old who had a magic themed party. We add a little cash in a cute envelope and it was perfect!

Didn’t work very well. You had to hold it a certain way for the “answers” to appear and also it was hard to read. Save your money.

So this thing is fun all that stuff BUT I do know that this can’t actually predict the future or something it is just something you shake and it gives you a answer but my child asked questions that she knew and some answers were wrong she said is my favorite color purple? And it said no and purple is her favorite color so just to tell you that this doesn’t actually predict the future or the question you’re asking I mean I kinda recommend it but ask a question you know and see if it lies

Is it fun? Reply hazy, ask again Is it classic? It is certain. Does it belong in every kid's toy collection, to gather dust and eventually get tossed into the Goodwill bag? Yes, definitely
