Oppenheim Awards

The only independent guide to the best toys, books, videos, audio, and software for kids.

2005 Winners of Oppenheim Awards

 4-Way Spelldown! Test your spelling skills against the luck of the roll!  Combine the roll of the letter dice and your wooden keys to make words.

4-Way Countdown! Add, subtract, multiply and divide your way to the winner's circle.

 Who? What? Where? is an ingenious party game.  Each person picks a "who" card, a "what" card, and a "where" card and draw the scene.  Example: Prince Charles ballet dancing in Egypt.  What an interesting twist on a popular game!

Wig Out Race against your opponents to get rid of cards by matching all kinds of colorful hairstyles.

20 Q "I know what your thinking!"  Do you think you can trick 20Q?

Judging Criteria

Editors review game submissions, weeding out products that are unsafe, unsound or obviously unworthy. Promising products are then kid tested by families nationwide. Finally, these results are considered by the experts as part of the overall evaluation of the product. Unlike publications that rely exclusively on the judgment of kid-testers, these reviews take kid-tester's response to a product as one of the many factors to be considered, along with educational and play value, safety, age appropriateness, and other factors.

Oppenheim Toy Portfolio does not take ads or entry fees from companies reviewed.
