Review on Pressman 5562 Jeopardy Travel Edition by David Will

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poorly designed games and accessories

Jeopardy is a great family game, but this travel version isn't worth the money. I bought it to use in my car when traveling. For that it is a big disappointment. The font on the cards is very small, the special red prompt and answer reading window is difficult to hold, the card frame is just an overlay and thin, and the overlay needs to be adjusted up and down for each prompt. and answer. The bezel doesn't lay flat on the chart, so it either requires a large hand to hold it flush, or tries to find another method of holding it. This makes it very difficult to hold the map properly, use a poorly designed viewer, adjust the map between clues and answers, use the viewer again, and on top of that try to read very fine print while juggling the above. The tiny viewer (about an inch wide and three quarters tall) was difficult to handle. The many components (all parts separate) for this game make it difficult to use in a car, we found just sitting on the couch let alone using it in a car.

Pros
  • Toys and games
Cons
  • Some difficulties
