Hosted by Logie award-winning comedian Tom Gleeson, the Hard Quiz Board Game is a sure-fire favourite for Dad this Father’s Day. From the iconic Expert, Tom & People’s rounds, down to the Hard Quiz mug playing pawns and the board game shape, players fully immerse themselves in the TV show experience. So whether Dad’s a trivia wiz or a Hard Quiz fan, Hard Quiz The Game makes for an entertaining experience the whole family can enjoy.

2. Smart Ass – Is Dad the smart ass in your household? Smart Ass is the game for Dad’s who scream out their answer even when it’s not their turn. In Smart Ass, each question has ten clues – the first player to yell out the correct answer wins the round and takes a step closer to being the ultimate “Smart Ass.” Smart Ass is University Games top seller, with more than 1.5 million in print!

4. Don’t Drink & Draw – Whether or not Dad prefers to drink or draw, Don’t Drink and Draw is the natural, rowdy successor to Pictionary in party drawing games. It’s party mayhem in this hilarious game where every player draws and guesses on every turn! Choose your Person, Action, and Location cards, then draw the combination. Whether it is “Frankenstein bungee jumping off the Eiffel Tower” or “Humpty Dumpty doing a striptease in jail,” everyone is guaranteed laughs as they guess each other’s drawings.

7. Stupid Deaths – Grab Dad one of our bestselling games this Father’s Day! Stupid Deaths challenges players to identify myth versus fact.

8. Dumb Criminals – Following the success of Stupid Deaths, Dumb Criminals is the riotously funny board game taking crime to a stupidly, funny level. Use your selected crew to undertake criminal heists and collect cold hard cash as you move around the board. Developed by the designers of Stupid Deaths, Dumb Criminals will have you battling it out against other players, to determine whether a hilariously bungled crime is true or false! But watch out – one wrong move might land you and your crew in the pen.

9. 5 Second Rule – If your household doesn’t already own 5 Second Rule, do yourself a favour and gift it to Dad this Father’s Day. This game is a win for the whole family and a household staple for entertaining guests! It should be easy to name 3 breeds of dogs – but can you do it under the pressure of 5 seconds twisting down, and with other players staring at you, waiting for you to get flustered? It’s all in good fun with this fast-paced game where you have to just spit it out using the 5 Second Rule!
Buy now at Target, Big W, Toys R Us, Kmart, Kogan, Gameology & Casey’s Toys.
10. 5 Second Rule Uncensored – If Dad already has a soft spot for 5 Second Rule, then why not mix it up and gift 5 Second Rule Uncensored, the adult-version, this Father’s Day. It seems easy to name three night-time activities, but can you do it without getting tongue-tied and flustered?
Buy now at Big W, Dick Smith and Kogan.
