"I bought it as a birthday present for my twin grandchildren. They told me it is fun. It is playful, easy to set up. One of the twins told me he won the gold during play. As long as it keeps them occupied and happy, grandma is also happy."
Abbie
"This game was a real winner over christmas, we all enjoyed it. Great fun for all the family."
Susan
"Good game for children's parties or adult entertainment with friends. Can be adapted to either or!!"
James
"Love this. One person reviewing it here (negatively) hasn't realised that the drop down part needs to be firmly pressed down into the platform, otherwise the tokens on the moving platform will slide under the vertical wall. Set it up right, and it works brilliant. Lots of fun."
Chris
"Our Grand children (aged 6 to 8) loved playing this game with us. We changed the rules slightly and wrote some of our own questions as well as the ones that come with it to make it easier for everyone to play. The game itself works very well, not as large as you might expect but still lots of fun. Great buy."
Chris H.
"Bought this for my son, who is an avid fan of the show. He loves playing with it, pretending to win real money :)"

About Tipping Point: The Board Game
Tipping Point began as a simple but gripping idea: combine general knowledge with real, visible risk and reward. When the show first aired on British television, it stood out instantly. The moving machine, sliding drop zones and dramatic "cashcades" turned every correct answer into a moment of tension, luck and excitement.
Building on the success of the TV format, Ideal brought Tipping Point from the studio into homes across the UK. The goal was clear: recreate the same suspense, unpredictability and family-friendly competition in a tabletop game that anyone could enjoy.
The Game
The Tipping Point board game stays true to what made the show a hit. Knowledge matters, but timing and chance can change everything. Players answer trivia questions to earn tokens, then decide where and when to drop them into the electronic Tipping Point machine. One well-placed counter can trigger a chain reaction and completely shift the game.
Designed for families, friends and quiz fans alike, the game supports individual play or teams, making it equally suited to quiet evenings or lively group gatherings. With over 650 questions, every session feels different, rewarding both quick thinking and bold decisions.
