There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The kids proved better at finding these than the grandparents, probably because 1. they can see better and 2. they can bend down and look under things more easily. We played two rounds with two teams of 4 and at the end the grandkids wanted to go outside to try it. LOL. That wasn't happening, as the wind chill hit 5 degrees, but we can't wait to try this in summer. It's a cute game that encourages getting up and moving and away from electronic screens.
That said, the batteries that come with this did not last long with her wanting to play with it nonstop. Definitely get a few extra packs of the button batteries that this toy uses if you think your kid is gonna wanna play this game over and over again!

So with Xmass on our way I thought this would be a wonderful addition to our already growing game collection. Especially since girls are growing fast and now the younger will be able to play the game next year.
As everyone mentioned in the reviews we also had battery problems. I took star off for that. I feel like for the price something should be addressed. It was NOT fun to unscrew all of the fireflies to wipe off tiny batters.
2 worked, 1 needed completely new batteries, and rest simply needed to be cleaned and placed back. So much work!
BUT they all work now and are ready to go.
I intend to use them inside of the house and perhaps backyard during the summer. But I think it’s important to somewhat supervise kids if you don’t want the pieces to get lost. My kids are very respectful of their toys, but they are young, and I can see them hiding them somewhere and not remembering where the bugs went.
Finger crossed that the game will last us years!
