This is the most provocative game of words since the invention of the modern alphabet...(from the back cover)

{HISTORY}

Part Go-Fish and part Wheel of Fortune, Probe is a really fun midcentury word game that makes players guess at their opponent's pre-selected words, letter by letter until the final word is realized. You might think that this sounds simple and not very challenging, but throw in blank cards and the special set of probe activity cards and this game turns into one big challenge. This is a great game for building vocabulary and testing spelling for kids aged 10 +  and challenging for adults as they try to stump their game mates with obscure words. Since players are making up their own words, the sky is the limit as far as possibility and no game will ever be the same as the last. 

Founded in 1883, Parkers Brothers, originally known as George S. Parker began in Salem Massachusetts with a board game called Banking that was created by George and extolled by family and friends. His brothers, Edward and Charles soon joined George's burgeoning gaming empire and together they created, marketed and sold some of the most popular games of the 20th including Risk, Monopoly, and Clue. Evolving with the trends of the late 20th century and staying fresh in the marketplace led  Parker Brothers to build electronic games, develop an audio record line and dive into book publishing featuring stories for popular toys like the Care Bears. Eventually, through a series of mergers and acquisitions, Parker Brothers became part of Hasbro where it still to this day manufactures popular Parker Brothers games.
