GAME SUMMARY
Outburst is a fast-action, fast-talking word-guessing team game in which two teams go head to head to score points by guessing answers to a given topic. Each team gets a topic card, and for one minute, they have to shout out as many answers as possible that may appear on the list. For every correct answer matching one of the 10 items on the card, a team earns a point. This makes for an exciting and thrilling race to the end because the team that has the most points at the end of the game wins it.

The fast pace keeps everybody on their toes to try and come up with instantaneous answers. The ticking of the clock is a race against it, adding thrills to this vibrant atmosphere; surely all are talking, laughing, and thinking fast. Knowing the right answers is not what matters here, but it's the art of being fast and getting your answers out before the minute runs out.

Reading through the instructions before playing will help you understand the rules better and thus enjoy the game more. It gets you used to the format of the game and gets everybody on the same page for easy, smooth play, which in turn is fun for all players. Outburst has a variety of topics, so there's always something new and interesting to guess.

If you're looking for a game that really has your team work together, communicates, and is quick-witted, this would be the one. You might also want to try the varieties, such as Outburst Jr., for playing with younger competitors, which offers a wide reach for family participants. Try the Outburst game today and be the one coming up with an answer in the loudest and fastest-paced name-it game out there!
