A card game marketed to young fans of Nickelodeon star and tween influencer JoJo Siwa is receiving 1-star reviews for what parents are calling "inappropriate" questions. The game "JoJo's Juice" is intended for audiences aged 6 and up, and it's currently available for purchase online at Walmart and on Amazon, among other retailers, for around $20.
But mom and TikTok user Heather Watson pointed out in a viral video that has been seen more than 3 million times that "JoJo's Juice" contains material that seemingly should be advertised to older audience.
"JoJo's Juice" has category questions like "Who knows JoJo best?," "Who knows me best?," and "Truth or dare?" Players write the answers to the questions on dry-erase bows. But as Watson pointed out, mixed in with innocent questions are ones like "Have you ever stolen from a store?" and "Have you ever walked in on someone naked or had someone walk in on you?"
The other "JoJo's Juice" cards Watson took issue with said "Have you ever been arrested?," "Who in this room would you most like to date?," "Have you ever gone outside without underwear (a bathing suit doesn't count)?," and "Have you ever taken money from someone's purse or wallet without asking?," as well as cards that asked players if they had "Kissed a boy" and "Learned the art of twerking."
Siwa hasn't addressed the controversy over the game on her TikTok account, where she has 31 million followers, but many of the top comments under her recent videos reference the "board game" and waiting for Siwa's response. Representatives for Siwa, Nickelodeon, and Cardinal Games didn't respond to Insider's requests for comment.
