Fun for the whole family
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The game was very easy for my children ages 8 and 10 to put together and read the instructions. The flexibility in the pieces really made it come together with little effort. I liked how the instructions were easy to understand for everyone. Such a great game for whole family!

Cute game
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 10 year old son and I played this game a few times. We had fun but then he was over it. We liked the bright colors of the sticks and the colored marbles. It was very easy to assemble the game. We would recommend.

Fun family game for all ages
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received this product for review and my kids were excited to play it together as a family! I really liked the simplicity of this game while allowing strategy to be a part of the competition. We didn’t give it a 5 because we found it to not rotate when turning to the next player’s marble tray opening and it would get stuck a lot. Maybe that’s intentional to cause more marbles to fall in game play?

Fun game
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We played the Kerplunk marble game with our family and enjoyed it. The set up to start playing is easy. It’s a great game for all ages and it’s a great game to play with multiple people. The one thing that was not the best in the center piece sometimes is hard to rotate when you’re moving it to turn the open slot to be facing your space for the marbles. I wish the piece was a little more sturdy or rotated a bit easier. Overall it’s a fun game that is easy to play, even with young kids.

A must have for family game night!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] KerPlunk has been such a hit in our house! My 9- and 11-year-old both really enjoy it. It’s fun, fast-paced, and just the right amount of suspense without being complicated. The setup is super easy, the rules are simple to understand, and cleanup takes almost no time. It’s one of those games that keeps everyone engaged. Every round feels a little different. Lots of laughs! Definitely a great addition to family game night!

Fun game for all ages!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kerplunk is a fun game to play with 2-4 people. Easy for kids to understand and good for all ages! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 as putting the sticks in for set up is somewhat difficult some of the time depending on the angles, but with a little persistence, you get them in! Definitely doesn't take away from the fun. I recommend this game to families of all ages.

Timeless Classic!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a blast from the past! This game is a timeless classic that I am so happy to be able to share with my kids today. I absolutely loved this game as a kid, and now my kids love it just as much! This is a great game for family game night. You can play with 2-4 players, and everyone can enjoy it, from kids to adults. All you do is put the sticks in the holes in the center of the tower to make a web and pour the marbles over top. Each player takes turns pulling out the sticks, one by one, hoping to not make the marbles drop. The player with the fewest marbles wins! A simple game, but is lots of fun!

Fun but could use a few improvements
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I remember this game from when I was a kid, so I was excited to play this with the family. I found that the sticks are very flimsy, which made it difficult to slide them through the tube. It took a long time to set up because of this, so by the second go around, I didn't want to set up a third. The tube is a little difficult to turn a quick jerk will loosen some marbles. The kids enjoyed it, but quickly got tired of setting it up themselves. I think if the holes were spaced out just a bit more, and sturdier sticks would make it much more enjoyable. Storage would also be helpful. The box is flimsy, so if you don't have the sticks and marbles contained, they will be coming out of the box.

Fun Classic Game
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I remember playing this game as a child and this game still has all the surprise and fun that I remember. The actual structure of the game was very wobbly and seemed to be less well made than the one I had when I was younger. We had problems putting the sticks in the holes - the green sticks especially would slide right back out. Gameplay is quick and suspenseful, so it is easy to play many rounds of the game in a short amount of time. I wasn't sure how to store it after we were done. We disassembled it and put it back in the box.

Fun game!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is so fun for adults and children! The objective is to get the least amount of marbles in your cup but my kids also wanted to reverse it and see who could get the most marbles. Switching it up allowed them to play longer and keep having fun with it! Set up was not fun. The sticks bend and it was work to get them lined up on the other side and when there were a bunch in already it was tough to push the last ones through. Also, part of the game play is spinning the whole thing to line up with your cup for your turn. The one spinning it gets the marbles if they fall but this doesn't always line up with your cup and that can lead to some arguments of who should get those marbles that fall. Lastly, the biggest issue is the cups arent large enough if you play 2 player. The marbles spill over into the other cups. When we tried to rebox it after we were done it was also very hard to separate the tube to fit in the box. The plastic feels durable but trying to pry it apart didn't feel like a great idea so we ended up leaving it together. I do wish there was a storage pouch or bag for the marbles and straws. Otherwise, this game was a ton of fun and i'm sure it will be included in our future board game nights.

Fun game for kids and adults!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun game to play kids! I played with my granddaughter and she loved it. We played 4 times in a row. It is just as fun for adults as well. The more players you have the quicker the game goes. The only negatives I have is the set up and the box. It does take about 5 minutes to get the sticks in. Sometimes if they aren’t in a good spot they can slide out. The box is on the flimsy side and you have to take the tube apart to fit in it.

Good nostalgic fun
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So fun! The game was good quality just like i remember when i was a kid. Was a little tedious to set up and use. Game play was a blast. Easy for my boys to set up themselves. The sticks were a little too bendy sometimes to put in

Entertaining game!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ker Plunk Marbles game was entertaining! Both my kids were excited to play this game. I liked that it does not include many pieces to put together to be able to play. One thing my oldest did mention that although it is entertaining, you do spend some time trying to set up the sticks. The instructions mention you have to twist the tower to match your number tray but we were afraid it would break so we would just collect the fallen marbles and put them to the side to keep track.

Do not buy. You’ll be disappointed.
Loved this game as a child. Bought it for my child and was very disappointed on how poorly it’s made. The sticks are short and flimsy. They don’t stay in the holes long enough to even set up the game. It’s more frustrating than fun. Not even enough sticks to keep the marbles from falling out before the first stick is even pulled. So disappointed.

My Daughter’s New Favorite Game! ❤️🥰🎉
“I just bought this game for my 7-year-old daughter, and she was over the moon with excitement. We played it again and again, laughing as we stacked the sticks and challenged ourselves to see how long we could keep the marbles in place. She told me it’s her absolute favorite and even asked me to write this review to tell you how much she loves it! ❤️🎉 This game is such a win for family fun.

Cheaply made.
Not exactly the game I knew as a kid. Sticks are flimsy and the barrel is so difficult to turn, the kkds can barely do it. Adults can but all the marbles fall when prying it to the next player. We use rhe marbles for marble run.

Not the same as it used to be
Disappointing . The sticks are very thin and cheap , the game is not as sturdy as it used to be . Even the marbles feel like plastic . The thin wobbly sticks make it frustrating to push thru the cylinder. Very disappointed.

Flimsy
This game was fun for us in our childhood. Bought it for our granddaughter and disappointed to find the sticks extremely flimsy and bendable. This does not match the quality that we remember. Thankfully we were able to purchase at a reduced price or I would be returning it. Not good value for $

Original Fun!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves this game! We’ve played many different versions thru the years. It’s great to have the original. Easy to setup and fun to play. It’s also great to be able to have a game that our daughter can play against herself.
