Tryazon- Telestrations is Back for a Fun Game Night!

Abby H.

I’ve been a fan of Tryazon for about 7 years. It’s an amazing company that works with manufacturers of toys, games, food, and recreational/sporting goods. Manufacturers supply their goods to consumers to try out and review for free.

The kids and I have received toys, games, craft kits, and art supplies to test and have fun with.

Right now, Tryazon has a tasty sampling opportunity to apply for!

Bring the family and friends together for this Tryazon Featured Party opportunity from The Op Games. After 16 years of laughter and family fun, The Op Games is refreshing Telestrations with new prompt cards, refined gameplay, and a fresh new look!

They have 300 hosting spots open for this opportunity! Those selected will receive a party pack for free with this updated version of Telestrations, along with two bonus games to share with friends and family.
