Game night is about to be a real blast.

Blast Box, from Zing Toys, is a brand new roulette style game that the entire family can get in on. Designed for two to four players ages 4 and up, Blast Box sets up in seconds. Players inflate one balloon per player, place them inside the blast box, and choose a starting player. Then, players take turns spinning the spinner and following the instructions on how many pins to hammer into the box.

Players choose where to place their pins, and you never know quite where the balloons are inside the black box. Whether you have to hammer in one, two, or three pins (or none, you lucky duck!), each one runs the risk of puncturing a balloon. The first player to pop a balloon is out, and gameplay continues until there is one player left standing.

The game includes an easy balloon inflator and reusable cardboard tie clips, so kids don’t have to struggle with blowing up and tying the balloons, allowing them to play by themselves if adults don’t want to get in on the action-packed fun. Plus, gameplay takes just a few minutes, and it comes with 100 balloons, allowing kids to play over and over again (aka their favorite way to play anything ever: “again, again, again!”).

Unlike other roulette games on the market, no one is getting wet or hit in the face with whipped cream, so this game makes a great alternative for kids who don’t enjoy getting messy (#me).

For older kids looking to mix things up, the free-to-download Blast Box app is available for iOS and Android devices, and introduces new ways to play, such as trivia challenges.

Blast Box is an easy-to-learn game that will leave players on the edge of their seats. Be sure to break this one out if your family is looking for a fun-fueled, explosive game night.
