Exclusive From Inside #NYTF17
Last month, I had the pleasure of attending the NY Toy Fair for my full time job in public relations. Back home from Toy Fair, I was asked by two toy store owners what hot new products (toys and games) would I recommend they stock their retail store shelves with—below are my recommendations. Bonus! Check out the giveaway at the bottom of this post.
This post may contain affiliate links which I use to keep the office lights on (and coffee.) Read the Disclosure, Terms and Privacy fineprint here, learn about the giveaway rules and note, a Whiffer Sniffer was provided to our playtime testing dept. for this review however, opinions are original, unique and our ideas solely.

Who’s The Dude
Ages 16+ • $24.99
Who’s the Dude is a hilarious party game for ages 16+ which plays like charades by using a blow-up “Dude” who looks like your funny uncle with a hairy chest, sunglasses and 80’s get-up. Game players act out descriptions from the game cards interactively with the blow-up Dude. It’s complete madness and fun and hilarity! I love this game and I have had good times with The Dude and would happily take The Dude out with our Toy Fair entourage on a night out in Manhattan. It’s such a fun game which I’ve seen demonstrated for the press and had the funny pleasure of carrying the blown up Dude across the 5 city-block-long showroom floor at Toy Fair. A trail of laughter could be hear behind me and I enjoyed every bit of the silly attention. After all, it’s NY Toy Fair!
