Lemonade Shake Up is a board game released in 2018 for 2–4 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 4 and up. It was designed by Shanon Lyon and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Cooperative Game.
Lemonade for sale! Work as a team to make and serve enough cups of lemonade to fill your money jar. Shake up the dice and roll for the match! Get the ingredients needed to serve a customer and add a few quarters to the money jar. Miss the match and it’s a sour lemon for the team. Cooperate to win! No reading required. INCLUDES: 5 dice, 1 plastic cup, 12 customer cards, 4 sour lemon tokens, 12 quarter tokens, 1 recipe card, 1 money card, and instructions. In this quick cooperative game, players take turns rolling dice (up to three times) in an effort to complete recipes for lemonade, strawberry lemonade or limeade. There are a variety of customers and each has a specific order and quarters in hand. The more difficult the drink recipe, the bigger the payout! Win by filling your jar with 12 quarters. But, fail to roll the correct ingredients too many times, and the sour lemons will cause your team to lose.
Lemonade Shake Up supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Lemonade Shake Up is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Lemonade Shake Up for ages 4 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
