Games come and go but the Hasbro Game Perfection is a game that has been around for 50 years. A simple game that sparks the basic competitor in all of us. The competition is the timer, fellow competitors or both. There are different ways to play but the result is always fun and laughs!
Finding ways for us all to play and have fun together can be a challenge sometimes. Auntie time with my nephews ages 4,7 &9 requires some thought to ensure everyone’s included and having fun.
I find that the most difficult challlenge is maintaining interest. I bought 2 of the newer versions of the Original Hasbro Game Perfection and this one. This way everyone could play simultaneously.
I set all the timers, turn them on and the boys race to get all the pieces in place before the timer goes off and out they pop. It’s exciting and fun for all of them!
MY GENUINE REVIEW!! I received no compensation for this review and this game was purchased by me!

Keep in mind, this is a much smaller version of the original perfection. This is most likely geared toward a 3 or 4 year-old to start out with. I like the idea of it, being that my son was 3 when I purchased it. He mastered it quite easily and we enjoyed playing it. We still take it out to play from time. A couple of cons I encountered have to do with the box and storage compartment. I tend to like storing our games in the original box and that has become impossible with this game as the box was very flimsy and fell apart soon. At least the pieces can be stored in the on-board compartment. However, the compartment is very small and the pieces must be carefully placed and arranged inside in order to get all of them in there and close the door. So, take into consideration the age of your child and how you like to store your games. It may be worth it to you to upgrade to the original.

I had this game when I was a little girl, roughly 20 years ago. I bought this for my daughter thinking she would get a kick out of it when it pops up. First of all, its really hard to push the blue part down. Secondly, when it pops up it is sort of a soft and slow rise rather than the kind of pop that startles you, which is what the game used to be. Very cheaply made. Wish the classic games would stop being updated/re-released if all they’re going to do is make it a cheaper garbage version.

It’s my mistake…but I thought I was getting the “real” Perfection at a great sale price. I should have read the reviews! (I usually do, but was in a big hurry.) All the negative comments about this version are true. It should be called Perfection Junior! It must have been intended for toddlers. Way too few pieces, way too long timer, and the board is sometimes hard to get to lock down. And I was getting it for a 10 year old. For all it is, $10 is over-priced. Now I’ll have to fork over the 40 bucks to get the real thing so he won’t be so disappointed. Arrrgh.

The description contradicts itself. In one place it says 25 pieces and another it says 9. There are only 9 pieces in this mini version of a favorite childhood game. It would only be challenging for a child 2 or 3 years old.

The game took almost a month to arrive. We played this for the first time today and the timer continually stops on it’s own. We can’t even play it correctly because the timer’s not accurate due to the fact that it randomly stops and never at the same place or time. We have to continue to tap the game during play so the timer starts up again. Also the pieces don’t all fit in the storage drawer. We got them in there once, but it’s a lot of moving around, arranging and pure luck. We couldn’t get them to fit again after that. The timer is pretty long and the pieces are pretty easy place. It would be a better game for younger children. I have a 10 year old and he was pretty bored after the first couple times of playing.

I bought this for my three-year-old because I thought it would be fun to play a simpler version of the original. It’s honestly way too easy for him…he got it first try with about a third of the time left. He was disappointed, because he wanted it to “pop.” He’s never done daycare or been in any sort of childhood education classes, yet, so I imagine kids who have would be even more disappointed. Honestly, the number and style of shapes to match would probably be better suited to a kid around 2. The game itself is clearly cheaply made – it’s darn near impossible to get the bird to press down right so it does eventually “pop” if you decide to run out the timer. Speaking of the timer, ours gets stuck at about the halfway point every third time or so. And the in-board storage is a great idea but way too small. You have to lay everything perfectly and turn a couple upside down and stick their removal sticks in between other pieces to get it to close. Overall, Im glad I didn’t pay more than $7 for it, but it’s not even worth that.

This was a huge disappointment. I was remembering the Perfection game when I was a child and I guess I should have known better. This is so cheaply made and should be on a dollar store shelf. The timer stops 4 or 5 times during each cycle so it is pointless. Don’t waste your money.
