Chicago Tribune Ranks Quelf one of the Top 10 Cool Board Games.
Object: If you don't mind looking silly in front of your friends, you'll laugh till you cry while playing Quelf. Read each card aloud (unless it's a "Classified Card," which you'll read to yourself), then do what the card says. For instance, "You must pretend your seat is a toilet for the remainder of the game. Every time a player pays a penalty, you must flush the imaginary toilet and vocally make a `gurgling and flushing' sound." Or our judges' favorite: "Write a haiku about your armpits. Recite the haiku to your opponents." Read the entire article here.

Amazon.com Reviews Average Customer Review: 5 out of 5 stars Turn off the tube and plug into Quelf. I'm sure that once this game hits big, that it will be a household name like "Clue" or "Monopoly". Take it from a board game family who owns dozens of games in our ever-cluttered closet: Quelf is the cream of the crop and deserves an A+ rating. Click here to read all the reviews.

Daily O'Collegian "Quelf is by far the best party game the store has carried, outselling every other game 10-to-1" Sally Kellenberger of Distraction Games talked about hosting game nights at her store and how Quelf is such a versatile board game for many gamers. “Because it can be used for, you know, a fraternity or a sorority, it can be used for a bunch of drinking buddies; it can be used for a church youth group,” Sally Kellenberger said. “It’s totally diverse in that every different kind of group can find fun in it.” Click here to read the article.
GamerDad.com Matt Carlson Review on Quelf "I can honestly say I find the game activities nearly completely random, and this is coming from a fairly random kind of guy. Just look at the character names, there isn't a theme in there at all, it's completely random. For this style of game, that's perfect! The cards reflect the same sort of creative warped genius and have everyone doing quite odd actions and performances..." Click here to read the entire article.

UpBeat Magazine Wiggity Bang's 'Quelf'- Creatively Inspired Quelf has to be one of the most creatively inspired, innovative, astonishingly unique, hysterically funny, spectacularly designed family board games we have seen in a very very long time. This is a positively brilliant game that embodies all of the best aspects of board games and then some- it doesn't last too incredibly long, it's inventively exciting and amusing and it actually relies on rare elements of chance as well as good old-fashioned comedic skill. While I personally do not rush out to purchase party games, this one has tremendously more appeal than the rest of the "pack" in fact, it literally leaves its competition in the dust. Quelf is inspired, imaginative fun. It redefines the entire board game experience and recaptures that innate child-like enthusiasm which used to be a "given" with board games.

Knucklebones Magazine Quelf - A Party Game Where Players Take on Challenges and Questions with Incredibly Silly Results Quelf kept us laughing hard the entire time we played. Often the humor falls flat in games that strive for keeping you laughing -- jokes get old and worn out: this did not seem to be a problem in Quelf. There are so many cards that replaying the game will actually be worthwhile. The game is inspired fun. There are cards that require you to act like an archaeologist giving a presentation with a lisp; there are cards that ask players to burst into song when an even number is rolled; quizzle questions are tougher than any trivia game before (quick multiply 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 without a calculator...); You may find yourself playing from underneath the table, or playing peekaboo with anyone who asks you a question. The cards are plentiful and well thought out. The game doesn't run out of ideas -- It's a comedic brainstorming session that has slipped blissfully into slap-happiness, and best of all, it stays funny the whole time. Quelf is what party games aspire to be -- fun, replayable, interesting, and funny. It is worth the $35 that it costs. It is a great party game. As you play, you'll hear yourself say "I can't believe I'm doing this" -- then you'll do whatever it asked you to do and then you'll watch your friends do even weirder things. It is so silly that it is fun. I heartily recommend this game! Click here to read the review on Werner Fee's website, GameZombies.com.

Bella Online Quelf - A New Party Game That's A Total Riot Quelf is a new board game from Wiggity Bang Games. It's a variety/party game that plays out sort of like Cranium or Rigamarole, with players doing challenges from five categories as they move along the board. However, this game is infused with a serious sense of silliness that has never been seen in a board game before. The goal of the game is to escape from the land of Quelf, an invented land that's ruled by Queen Spatula and populated by such characters as Mrs. Pickle Feather, The Biscuit Farmer, The Super Ninja Monkey and Mr. Lugnut. Game play is simple, you just roll the dice, move your playing piece ahead and read the card designated by the space you land on. The card categories are Roolz, Quizzle, Stuntz, Showbiz and Scatterbrainz. Click here to read the entire review.
San Diego North County Times Article Quelf-Made Men: Three friends introduce unique board game for families In any one roll of the dice, you may be a drunken tightrope walker, writing a poem about a root canal, guessing Marilyn Monroe's bra size or telling a knock-knock joke. If you're not sure just what you're playing, the name of the game might be Quelf. "This isn't just a board game," said Jeremy Fifer, 31, who developed the game with two friends while living in Oceanside. "The best way I can describe the game is 'insanity unleashed,'" said partner Matthew Rivaldi, 31. "It's so much fun. It's kind of an indescribable experience unless you've been there. The whole idea is you'll do things in the game that people will remember for days and days." Fifer thought of the game about 2 1/2 years ago and found help developing it in childhood friend Robb Earnest, who has worked for MTV, "South Park" and on several feature films. Rivaldi, Earnest's old college roommate, was brought on board to help turn his friends' ideas into a product. "I'm more of the straight guy," Rivaldi said. "Those two are the funny guys. What I love to do more than anything else is take somebody's idea and make it a reality." Read the rest of the article here.
Modesto Bee Newspaper To play, you just have to know how to be silly A longtime player of video games, Branden Reisenauer was overjoyed when, late last month, he became one of the first people in the United States to get his hands on the newest and most in-demand video game console: the Xbox 360. But since discovering Quelf, a new board game similar to Cranium or Pictionary, his Xbox has been gathering dust. "I would rather play my board game than that," Reisenauer, 26, said. "With the video game, it's just you and the game. With the board game, you're playing with your friends and family and you're laughing ... You don't really laugh during a video game."

San Diego City Beat Magazine Your Brain on Quelf - San Diego trio’s ‘random’ board game hits the market Using your hands as a megaphone, please stand up, march in place and say the following statement without laughing and in a very slow but extremely loud voice: “Attention people. Your attention please! I am sleepwalking and I will not stop until I find my swimming goggles. Hey you, I smell a partridge! Flee, alien keeper of lumpy delight! The Winter is mine.” You may sit down now. You have the option of either engaging in this act of ridiculousness or paying the penalty, which on this card is pretty stiff. If you decline because you’re too cool for school, you must move back three spaces. You should think about it before you decide, though, because on a board game with only 30 spaces from start to finish, three could be the difference between winning and losing. The name of the game is Quelf, created in San Diego by Wiggity Bang Games. Read the rest of the article here.
