Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
There's a rumble in the jungle with these Hungry Hippos. All the hippos love to munch on marbles... they just can't get enough. But which hippo's the hungriest? See which hippo gobbles the most in this feeding frenzy. Hungry Hippos is a great children's game for a rainy day.
Four hippos, 20 marbles and only one aim--what's not to like? A hilarious way to develop your pre-schooler's hand-eye coordination. Start with one marble in the middle for the littlest players and then add more and more as their skills improve. Of course, for older players and long-time devotees of the game you can always just chuck all the marbles in the middle, engage in a spot of fast and furious fun and see whose Hippo can eat the most.
The frantic marble-munching action game. Gobble up as many marbles as possible. The faster you press their tails, the more marbles they try to chomp. If your hippo gobbles the most, you win.

Ahhh, Hungry Hippos, a game that has probably lost out to the Nintendo Wii in recent years.
I dug this out of the loft the other week when sorting through my old toys. I engaged my 5 year old nephew in a game when his mum brought him over. It brought the memories flooding back to when my sister and I played it, with the problem of the balls flying off the gaming arena due to the frantic pounding of the levers still occuring in 2010!
To its credit, Hungry Hippos is a very sturdy game, it can take a hell of a pounding and survive.
If you've got some little people with lots of energy to burn, then sit them around Hungry Hippos, just make sure you have some ear plugs on standby!

am not going to comment on the play quality of this game as I think we all know what it does and that it's basically noisy fun, but I do want to warn potential purchasers about a major flaw in the design - the game does not fit back in the box!!
Basically the box is the same size as the blue square play arena so when you put it all together with the hippos bottoms sticking out it no longer fits in the box. It is not as if it comes apart easily, in fact i gave up trying for fear of snapping something. So we are left with a game containing small balls sitting loose in the cupboard - need I say more!
very silly design, leading to iminent loss of marbles for the game and for parents!

Old classic - with improvements
I normally hate when they 'improve' classic games as they tend to ruin the simplicity of them however this has really been improved. Read more

I bought this for my 4 year old neices and they love it. Keeps them amused for ages, providing they don't squabble about how many balls they each have!

enjoyable game
This game is pretty good, easy to play for my 6 yr old. It does not fit back in box once it is set up though which is annoying. It is quite sturdy but sometimes buttons get jammed.
