Monkey see, monkey poo game

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has this game for their children and whether it actually works / is a hit!

One of my children has put it on their birthday list, but want to avoid buying yet another dud novelty game that gets played once (Pull my finger - monkey farting game, I’m looking at you!). I don’t mind buying it if it does seem to get a decent amount of play.

thank you

I find the amount of kids games that revolve around poo and bumholes quite frankly disturbing. I wouldn't allow my kids any of them.

My MIL bought it as a gift, as she knew mine would love the idea. Which they did. The game itself is rubbish quality - I quietly ejected it after it had lost its place as the newest most exciting thing, and it hasn't been requested since.

I'd bypass, if I was you

Thank you. Yes, as much as others seem horrified, my little ones find all things toilet related hilarious at the moment, although I’ll definitely avoid it if it’s rubbish quality!

Thank you

I mean everyone laughs at a funny timed fart. And toilet humour is normal for young kids but so we really need to make out that poo is something to be played with?? 🤢

Tried it. Was funny for about 5 minutes
Would not recommend.

Thank you all - saved me from buying something else that will likely end in landfill!

Now off to find an alternative game to point them towards instead!

They had also been asking for one that snot is pulled out of a plastic nose/head after playing with it at their cousin’s house, but thankfully hasn’t made it to the list yet 😂

My son loved monkey see monkey poo! He couldn't be bothered with setting up the whole game, just more interested in the 'throwing' the poo bit!

If you're looking for an alternative I really recommend Shark Bite. A huge hit with my son and all his friends
