Hippo Hap Meloen Mikken is an electronic action game from Hasbro Gaming, based on the classic Hungry Hippos idea but with a shooting twist. Each player controls a hippo on the riverbank; using a small catapult mechanism, you aim plastic watermelons at your animal's open mouth. The hippos' mouths open and close automatically, so timing is everything.
The box contains the game board with four hippo figures, the launching catapult and a set of plastic play watermelons. The game runs on batteries for the moving mouths and must be assembled by an adult before play.
The game is suitable for 2 to 4 players from 4 years, as stated on the packaging. Whoever gets the most watermelons into their hippo's mouth wins the round. It's quick to set up and guarantees a loud, active session around the table.
A fun gift for a birthday or Saint Nicholas for families who enjoy active, competitive play. Its simple game principle means children and adults can join in together.
