# A Game-Changer for Family Gatherings! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

**Family Face-Off by Devon Glenn** has completely transformed our family get-togethers, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

As someone who regularly hosts gatherings with my own kids plus my 8 grown siblings and all their children, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to find activities that engage everyone from toddlers to grandparents. Our reunions have always been wonderfully chaotic affairs, but this book gave us the perfect structure to channel all that energy into pure, concentrated fun.

The games in this collection are absolutely brilliant. Devon Glenn clearly understands family dynamics and has crafted activities that bring out everyone’s competitive spirit while keeping things light-hearted and inclusive. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, even when you’re trying to explain rules over the excited chatter of a couple dozen family members.

**Candy Cane Scoop** alone was worth the price of admission! Watching my dignified older brother and my teenage nephew both crawling around trying to scoop up items with candy canes tied to their waists had us all in stitches. It’s the kind of ridiculous, joy-filled chaos that creates those precious family memories we’ll be laughing about for years to come.

What I love most about this book is how it strikes the perfect balance between organized fun and spontaneous silliness. These aren’t overly complicated games that require tons of setup or expensive materials – they’re cleverly designed activities that use everyday items to create extraordinary entertainment.

If you’re looking to add some fresh energy to your family gatherings, whether it’s holidays, reunions, or just a regular weekend hangout, **Family Face-Off** is an absolute must-have. It’s turned our already rowdy family nights into legendary events that everyone looks forward to.

Trust me, your family will thank you for this one!

**Highly recommended for families of all sizes and ages!**

This collection of 150+ family challenges is a go-to guide for laughter-filled game nights and memorable gatherings. Using everyday items, these quick and creative contests are fun for all ages and require little to no prep. From cup-flipping tic-tac-toe to condiment cookie roulette, every challenge brings the fun. It’s perfect for holidays, parties, or just a regular night in. Whether you're playing with kids, grandparents, or the whole crew, this book makes it easy to turn any hangout into a hilarious competition.

Fun games to play with family and friends, summer camp groups, or with library programs. I did wish more of the games had drawings for set-up. I’m a very visual person, so I struggled to fully understand the text descriptions a lot of the time.

I love that this has games for all ages and mobility levels. We are a huge family game night family and love that we can now get creative with our game nights. We have played a few of the games before but there is so many new ones to try and with summer coming the outdoor games will be fun.

Thank you Chronicle books via Netgalley for the ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.

As a certified family life educator (CFLE), this is truly a fantastic resource.

The book breaks down a variety of activities that are age appropriate, engaging, interesting, and geared toward social and emotional growth.

I especially liked the animal Olympics and the ways you could have a lot of fun with that. Fortunately, unfortunately is a favorite of mine and a great way to teach cause and affect, opposites, and learning about pros and cons in a fun way.

This book definitely helps engaging as a family take center stage and provides creative ideas for parents that aren’t Chili and Bandit Bluey! Excellent!

150 ways to best my relatives? SAY NO MORE. I am always on the lookout for new ways to assert my dominance, and this book delivered.

I appreciated the thoughtful organization, offering a variety of game types, including some that cleverly use only items commonly found at holiday gatherings. How convenient! These games can be played anywhere, even in the car. Some require simple supplies (most of which you’ll already have at home), while others demand nothing more than your wits and competitive drive.

I also loved that the book includes games designed with accessibility in mind—for folks with mobility concerns or, like me, those who simply prefer not to move. Perfect for all ages and all fitness levels.

This would make a great gift—for yourself or for that one family member you’re always low-key competing with. Lay down the gauntlet early.

Also, can I just say? My knowledge of the height of a giraffe lying down has finally paid off.

Thank you to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for the privilege of receiving this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

SO MANY GAMES! Perfect for families, get together, parties, any of the sort. There are some easier and harder games to master but they all will put smiles on everyone’s faces.
