And when it’s time to put the game away, store them in their convenient storage case. Then push up the back levers of each hippo, and the game fits neatly in its box.

Q: does it work better than old game
submitted by cc - 10 months ago
A: No it doesn't. The hippo heads get stuck and the mechanism to pop the balls back into the pit doesn't work well. More cheaply made than the 90s version.

I bought this to play with my 2.5 year old and he's been enjoying it. I used to play with my family as a kid in the 90s and that version worked better. They've cheapened the design in frustrating ways. But it'll pass aa far as your young kids are concerned.

The toy I had as a kid was great quality, but new version feels flimsy. My kids enjoy playing with it, despite the hippos getting stuck sometimes. Easy storage is a plus.

This game is a classic, but unfortunately broke after a few uses. Really not quality manufacturing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first received the game and opened the package, the cardboard smelled really bad and took a few days to air out lol. But aside from that, I love this game and always have. It’s a longtime childhood friend of mine to say the least!  I’m happy that I have this game to play with my nieces and nephews :)
Fun little game 😊

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was such a fun little game to play with my kids. It’s pretty loud but I think that’s normal. It does contain small marbles and it’s not recommended for kids under 3 years old. Great for a family fun night. It’s for 4 players.
Very entertaining for a game night

Bought this for my 2.5/3.5 year old kids to play with grandparents on a recent visit. Everyone loved it, my 60 year old parents included! My two kids and two parents seriously were entertained by this for a solid 45 minutes, which is astounding to em. I love that the balls have a designated storage case so they don't get lost, and because there's a little dimple where each ball should sit in the case, it's easy to see whether you have them all at the end of the game. My only gripe is that the walls of the area where the balls stay when "eaten" could be slightly taller. When you push the lever to add them back to the playing area, they tend to topple out of the sides, which seems like a taller wall would resolve. Overall this was a great buy, nostalgic for the adults in my family and a fun new addition to our game closet for my kiddos.
Super cute

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still a fun classic game. So easy to set up. There is a little container to put the marbles in so they don’t get lost which is great. The little lever to pop the marbles/balls back into the game is another fun part. My two year old may like this part best. Well made. Easy to assemble and easy to play.
Classic game kids still love!
