Help me find this 1990s board game!

I'm trying to find a board game my sister and I had in the 1990s (want to say something like 1996?). It was a teddy bears picnic with a table and chairs around the table. You pressed a button in the middle and jellys on the table lit up. I think the aim of the game was to collect slices of cake? And maybe move your bear around a bit like musical chairs?

I've googled but found nothing. Does anyone remember this?

Musical bears?

Thank you! Yes it is! I think I focused too much on the teddy bears picnic in my searches. Now to debate whether I can justify £20 for it!

😂 I know! I felt really guilty but I just had to buy a vintage fashion wheel for nostalgia’s sake!

Can anyone remember a board game where the characters carried little brown books around. I think they might have been frogs and the books decided if you were a prince?

Oooh I've found it!!

We had an amazing one called Pilgrimage where you had to journey from England to the Holy Land, and there were chance cards where you would get slaughtered by infidels or eaten by sea serpents. I have looked and looked for a set but never had any luck.

<p>Everything appears to be in nice condition. There is only 1 BANE card though.. there are 39 blessing cards. I don’t know what happened to the rest of the bane cards. The game board comes in 4 sections which snap together like giant puzzle pieces. Ev...

I remember that game I loved it ! Were there witches hats in it too ?

I also loved a ghost game maybe ghost castle or something with a skull you dropped down and if it knocked over your player you were out.

Atmosfear terrified me 😂

Haydug · 06/11/2023 06:31

This thread inspired me to look for this game! Anyone remember this?

thenewaveragebear1983 · 06/11/2023 06:45

@raspberrypavlovas ghost castle. We have it! My dh and his brother buy each other a nostalgic board game for birthdays occasionally. We have escape from Atlantis, ghost castle, car capers etc… ghost castle is a great game

Xiaoxiong · 06/11/2023 10:14

@MabelQ that is the one!!!! OMG. But it's $60...can I justify it for a game I loved as a kid??

If you care enough about the game to post on MN if anyone knows what it is, then I think you can definitely justify spending £20 on it. (Unless that would leave you unable to eat for two days).

@Xiaoxiong No international delivery it says. Which is a shame as I remember playing Pilgrimage at school (there'd be outrage now - probably from me!).
