Unnecessary Invention: The Game — video

Unnecessary Inventions: The Game is a creativity party game that turns everyone at the table into a deeply unqualified product designer. Draw an invention prompt, flip the 2-minute timer, and race to create the most ridiculous, oddly convincing, completely unnecessary invention you can think of.

Name it.
Describe it.
Draw it badly.
Pitch it like it belongs on a shelf.

Each round starts with a very important first-world problem and ends with a table full of terrible ideas that somehow feel one prototype away from being real.

Inside the box is everything you need for over 70 rounds of bad ideas and suspiciously good drawings: 74 invention cards, 6 dry-erase boards, 6 dry-erase pens, and a 2-minute sand timer.

Perfect for game night, family gatherings, design nerds, chaotic friends, and anyone who has ever looked at a normal object and thought, “What if this was worse, but on purpose?”
