Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Flippin’ Penguins

A fantastic new all action children’s game for 2-3 players.

Be the first to flip your three penguins onto the top of the moving iceberg to win the round. Win three times to win the game!

Each player stands by their coloured ‘flipper’ as the game begins. Switch the game on and watch as the penguins move around the base of the iceberg, in a random manner.
The aim of the game is to ‘flip’ your penguins from the base onto the top of the iceberg. There are two penguins per player, plus a ‘joker’ yellow penguin that also needs to be on top of the iceberg too. Once all three penguins are on the top of the iceberg that player has won the round. Then all penguins are moved to the base, then winning player moves their flag one notch up the iceberg, and the game begins again.


The skill and fun part of the game is trying to knock your opponent’s penguins off the top of the iceberg! Just as they think they have won you can knock off their penguin and they have to start from scratch. Or you may accidentally flip one of your opponent’s penguins onto the top of the iceberg when you meant to flip them off the base instead!

Each time a player wins a round they move their coloured flag one notch up the side of the iceberg. Once they have one three rounds they have won the game.

This is a fantastic fast paced action game that can sometimes be over in a flash, or skilled players may make the game last longer.


Box Contents:

  • 1 x Game base with 3 flippers
  • 1 x Iceberg
  • 7 x Penguins



    Product Description
    Be first to flip your penguins and the joker penguin onto the moving iceberg but watch out as they slip and slide about for those flippin'penguins that will knock you out! Beat the other penguins 3 times to move your flag to the top of the iceberg and win

    4.0 out of 5 stars A really fun game, 30 Dec 2006
    By E. MCGUIRE (Glasgow, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 
    Although a bit noisy, this game is loads of fun. It's a great one for little hands (our boy is almost 4) as it doesn't require fine motor skill. The penguins are really well balanced, so they almost always land upright. It is possible to flip them right out of the game, but that just seems to add to the fun.

    My only complaint is that the game can tend to run rather long from time to time. It tends to depend a bit on luck!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Our 3-year old loves it, 19 Jan 2009
    By Mr. D. I. Jones "Dan" (Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
    We bought this game for our daughter for Christmas. It uses a simple motor making the penguins go round and round a track and you have to flip them into the centre when one falls into your little flipper controller. What's funny is that the penguins can bump each other out of the scoring area and it's all pretty random so there's no malice involved! There is an aim to the game, but that's a bit beyond our daughter at the moment, but she still loves playing it. It looks comical and it's really easy for little ones to play. I can see this being a long term success and it would be a good game for brothers and sisters to play as it's more about comedy than serious competition so there shouldn't be squabbles. Very highly recommended.
