If you’ve been looking for a backyard game that’ll have everyone from kids to grandparents actually engaged (and not just scrolling their phones), Costco’s got something pretty cool right now. The Tetris Tumble XL is basically giant Tetris-style blocks that you stack on a tilting platform, and trust me, it’s way more intense than it sounds.
This is an oversized stacking game where players take turns adding chunky geometric blocks to a platform that tilts and shifts as the tower grows. The dynamic tilting base is what really sets this apart from your standard block-stacking games – it adds this whole layer of strategy and suspense because the platform literally moves under the weight of each piece.
The blocks are substantial and weatherproof, which is great for outdoor use. At this size, it’s genuinely engaging for adults too, not just something you’ll watch your kids play once before it collects dust in the garage. That said, you’ll need decent storage space for this one – the blocks are big, and even though they nest together reasonably well, this isn’t a compact game.
Key Features:
- Item #: 1819487
- Current Price: $89.99
- Oversized blocks made from durable, weather-resistant material suitable for indoor or outdoor play
- Dynamic tilting platform base that shifts as you stack, increasing difficulty and excitement

Bottom Line: This is a solid pick if you host regular gatherings or have kids who actually play outside. Just make sure you’ve got the storage space and don’t mind a game that takes up some real estate in your yard or game room.
