Candygrams

Candygrams game. “The colorful crossword game.” The white box looks like a stamped envelope. It has pink, yellow, and blue dashes that border the lid of the box, with a stamp illustration in the top-right. The title in the middle is in alternating colored blocks. In front of the box are 2 large dice with colored dots on each side in pink, yellow, and blue. To the right are letter game tiles spelling out candy, down, and grams, across. To the right of the spelled words is a pile of more colored letter tiles.

Candygrams

Enjoy a mental reboot while gaining spelling and vocabulary skills with the all-new Candygrams. Simply roll the dice, match the colors, and create words. Each player builds their own crossword in this original word game, matching the colors rolled by the dice. Simple yet strategic, Candygrams is designed to develop word skills while sharpening minds.


The color restrictions of the dice add a surprise twist to this Scrabble-type game. The instructions for play are clear and concise, with two alternatives, so getting started is a snap. The gameplay is relatively short, about 15 minutes. With no turn-taking and minimal waiting on other players, this is the perfect game for young players. Candygrams comes with 111 hefty tiles in three bright colors, two large six-sided dice with colored faces that match the tiles, and complete instructions. Recommended for ages 7 and up, however, Candygrams is challenging even for teens and adults.



Contains no edible materials.

From the Manufacturer:
Candygrams is as simple as rolling the dice, matching colors, and making words. But to win, you’ll need just the right combination of skill, strategy…and luck! Why should a word game be played for points? Or why should the fastest player win every time? Our family set out to build a word game that young and old - kids and adults - could play together. One that encourages longer, more interesting words and rewards strategic thinking. Not based on math. Not based on speed. A word game based on…words!

    ”Candygrams is a fun new game. It reminds me of the very popular Bananagrams game but with a twist that makes the playing field a little more even for younger wordsmiths especially.”

    A nice change from Bananagrams!

    We love Bananagrams, so I thought we could give this game a try… and we all enjoyed! I think it is a “level up” from Bananagrams. It seemed a bit more challenging with the dice rolling and having to utilize particular colors, but that challenge is just what my middle grade student needed! My younger kids played with it and made some of their own rules, which was also fun. Lots of replay value. Small and compact.

    Kind of reminds me of scrabble and dominoes. Definitely a game that gets you thinking!

    Great game!

    We are big fans of Bananagrams at our house and this game was the perfect addition. The added element of using the color coded dice makes it extra fun and a bit more complicated for my older one.

    Lots of replay value

    This is such a great game.
    The quality of the game itself is excellent.
    It's easy to learn so you'll be able to play right away.
    It's like building your own scrabble board, but with the unique twist of only being able to play letters that the colors shown on the dice rolled.
    I've been playing with my 8 year old,
    But also using it to help my 4 year old learn colors, and letter recognition and spelling sight words.
