Fun show but bonus points at end of show before the last round are rigged
verycherryrain31 May 2019
Show is great have 3 challenges the adult and child vs other adult and child when they win the round they get a prize and 2 bonus scrabble tiles. Repeat 3 times rounds are not connected to each other of the over all score except getting a head start in the final round for the main prize

Bonus round is easy here scrabble board we give a hint you guess the scrambled you get the points first to 100 wins but your get bonus tiles and before the game starts teams press the button and stop the lights which they get the points for the scrabble tile they have the light one what I hate about this is that regardless of how many one team has the other team given they at least have one tile (can get one tile if they tie in a round) will 95% of the time get a score that close the the other team for example one team has 4 tiles they stop at a total of 21 points the other team only has 2 tiles....WOW they magically got X for 8 and Q for 10 giving them 18 points....like ya that happen 95% of the time

Best family oriented game show in a long time
sbutler07275 December 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This is the best family oriented game show that I have seen in a long, long time. This is a straight forward old-fashioned game show. This show pits two teams each featuring a parent and a teenage son or daughter against each other. There are four games they have to complete. One is very similar to Camouflage (GSN), another is very similar to Pyramid, another is based on the computer game Text Twist, and another is clearly based on the old Scrabble game show hosted by Chuck Woolery. This is not to say this show does not have its problems. It does. The game they call Scrabble Slam is terrible. It is just too easy for the weakest player to win this game. Scrabble Slam should be ditched. Also the host, Justin Willman (a.k.a. magician Justin Incredible), is a little too goofy for my taste. Despite these problems, I like this show a great deal. It is the best family oriented game show that I have seen in a long, long time. It is this kind of show that GSN should be doing (cough!! cough!!). Enough said.
