Ridgeway states that “Spontuneous opens up great conversations and connects people through the music they sing and the memories they share. Laughter is 100% guaranteed.”
Research has proven that music impacts us in many ways. Using advanced technology, scientists have discovered music can inspire strong feelings and bind us together. Playing Spontuneous will not only create wonderful memories but also trigger pleasant past memories associate with music.
The broader the tastes the better the fun! Spontuneous’s tag line is, Sing it or Shout it…Talent NOT Required. So even if you can’t carry a tune in a bucket, this game is still for you!
HOW TO PLAY: The objective of Spontuneous is to stump your opponents from being able to sing a song containing the trigger-word you’ve chosen. The players race to be the first to sing a 5-word portion of a song containing that word. The first player to begin singing rolls the dice to advance on the game board. If everyone is stumped, the player who announced the word must be able to back it up with a song of their own otherwise they are penalized. The first player to reach the finish line and complete the Spontuneous Challenge wins!
Great for All Ages, 8 and Up. Multiple Award-Winning Gam. Crosses All Genres of Music
4 – 10 Players or Teams. Length of Play: 30-45 minutes Talent NOT Required
About Rob Ridgeway
Celebrating 10 years, Spontuneous—The Game has come a long way since Rob Ridgeway invented it in 2009. From hand selling his products at his first mall kiosk in Billings, Montana to pedi-cabbing the streets of Austin, Texas to make ends meet, Ridgeway has hustled to keep his dream alive.
He’s overcome near-bankruptcy, a brain tumor, medical debt, inventory stranded by a 2014 Port of L.A.strike, and the pessimism of naysayers for Spontuneous to become the bestselling game on Amazon. In 2018, Ridgeway relocated Spontuneous operations to Nashville, TN AKA Music City USA.

For Charlie and I I chose the Hippy Van Orange for myself because I have always wanted a Volkswagen or Slugbug as I call them. For Charlie I piked out the Galaxy Tiger which is a White Tiger Charlie and my sister’s favorite.
Charlie could make this for his Aunt Deb but I bet you he keeps it for himself. Last but not least I chose the Owl I Want Is You in Memory of my mom which I want to make but I bet Charlie will as well. I may give this one to David so all three of us have something to make.
I’m excited to put a cool family product on your radar for the holiday season: KIDVELOPE a fun and interactive mission adventure game that connects kids and their faraway adults—grandparents, long-distance or deployed parents, aunts, uncles, etc.—with an extraordinary combination of physical hands-on activities and online engagements.
The perfect gift for kids ages 7-10, Space Rescue Mission ($21.95*) begins with a mailed activity kit. Kids initiate the mission and team up with (parent approved) adult partners to complete mission challenges through a combination of hands-on activities, back-and-forth mail correspondence, online interactions, and phone conversations.
Whether kids are communicating with a grown-up who is across town or across the ocean, KIDVELOPE creates a genuine and collaborative bonding experience.
KIDVELOPE was created by media, technology, entertainment, and education veterans who are parents with kids who have grandparents, aunts, uncles, and family scattered across the country.
Each KIDVELOPE mission features a mix of offline hands-on inventing, creating, and problem-solving by kids plus online sharing and communicating by both partners.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
