PARENT/TEACHER COMMENTS
"Thank you very much for offering
the Team Blink Challenge! My Girl Scout troop
has enjoyed it tremendously. It was fascinating
to watch the girls achieve a new level and then
encourage the others to try also. The game really
brought the girls closer together and taught
them how to work as a team to improve the individual
as well as the team. I'm happy we took advantage
of the Challenge!"

from Learning Magazine's Teachers' Choice Awards
Program 2003
Learning Magazine,
Teachers' Choice Awards, July 2003
"BLINK was introduced
to me by a friend. We had such a great time playing
it, that I went out & bought it the next day.
:-) Since then I have taught at least 5 of my
friends to play, and they have bought it too!
It is such a fun game. It is easy to learn and
doesn't take long to play. :-) I am an avid gamer,
and this one is climbing to the top of my list!
Keep up the great work. I look forward to trying
some of your other games as well."
Toni, Ft. Worth Texas
"Thank you so much for

so fantastic to work with. We are telling everybody
we know about you!"

Fun was also the name of
the game with two products from Out of the
Box Publishing. Jim Van De Riet raved about
Apples to Apples and Blink. "Blink looks like
a fun game. It is a very fast-paced matching
game where you must match colors, designs
or numbers. It keeps you constantly thinking
quickly. It is a great game for all ages." Ricki
Block agreed, "Blink
is just a great attribute game."
Bethany Broida, NSSEA Tidings Magazine, May/June
2001
"Thank you for sending
us the new games so quickly. I took them to a
school game night yesterday, and sold them all.
Everyone loved them. I'll be ordering more soon."
