Hi,

I'm trying to find out the name of a game/toy I encountered back at a Thanksgiving dinner last month. It was something that everyone there enjoyed. I'd like to find out what it's called and even better where one can be purchased in Seoul.

It was a round gizmo that you hold in your hand. You push a button and it generates a new word or phrase. Then you give hints to the other folks sitting in your circle and see who can guess the word or phrase first.

Pretty simple toy, really. Buts lots of low key fun for everyone there. It being an electronic toy, I'm guessing that it probably had different levels and/or categories of words/phrases to choose from.

I have a party that I'd like to take one to if I can locate one. Also, any suggestions on likely stores to find such a toy would be appreciated.

Well, this one is square instead of round, but it might be good if you can't find exactly what you saw before.

Thanks for your reply. After posting this, it did occur to me that this is more a software issue than a hardware need. So, I checked the iPod app store and there are games there that meet this requirement without seeking out and buying a dedicated gizmo.

I did find the thing I was looking for online.

But I can't see spending $27 for one when I can get an iPod app equivalent for $2.

Cheers.

Hopefully you can add your own phrases. The example ones I would never use or teach.
