Scrabble Twist Electronic Game Hands-on Demo

Hasbro's new Scrabble Twist is handheld electronic version of the popular classic. Similar to the original game, you use Scrabble Twist to build words using letters that appear on the handheld device. It shows five random letters at a time, which you tap one after the other in the sequential order of the word you’re forming. After you’re done spelling out a word, you simply twist the end of the device to finalize it, then pass the toy to the next player. You can form any word between three and five letters.

It comes with three game modes: solo (you just build words under a time constraint), party (up to eight players), and turbo challenge (one on one). Depending on the game mode, each player has either 15 or 60 seconds to complete a word, lest forfeit the turn.

The Scrabble Twist will hit stores in August 2015, priced at $20.
