Snipe Hunt Game Review

Do you remember the movie Up? In the movie the old man tells the boyscout to go snipe hunting and the little boy looks and looks. Looking for Snipe was just a ploy to get the kid to go away!

 

How about if you really can go snipe hunting?

There is a new game that is great for playing doors in indoors, called Snipe Hunt. It’s a hide and seek game where players try to be the first to find their opponent’s Snipe and return it to its nest. Each team turns their Snipe on and disappears to find the best hiding place for them. In five minutes the Snipes will begin chirping and their eyes will start flashing red so teams must hurry to get back to the nest before the Snipes give away the direction they are hiding.

We received Snipe Hunt to review. I wanted my son to take it outdoors and play with his friends, but he had to test it out at home to make sure it’s a cool game. He’s 11, coolness is important!

We put the batteries in and waited for something to happen.We didn’t wait long enough and thought something was wrong. Later, I asked my husband to try again. He put batteries in and placed the two snipes in secret spots and waited. The kids were upstairs and all the sudden they heard this strange noise. Savannah got excited and started looking for the snipe! The kids found them and then proceeded to play again and again!

This would be a perfect game to play inside during those afternoon thunderstorm we get!

So, will my son take over to a friends house? I think so!!

 

 

We received the above game to review. Opinions are always my own.

  11. I think my son would get a kick out of this game. He gets so excited when I get new games to play.

  12. I used to play hide&seek with my toys as a kid- my mom would hide them & I’d have to look for them like with the Snipes, only my toys didn’t make noise so I often couldn’t find them. The problem? My mom usually forgot where she hid them, so my toys would be lost for months. Totally liking the idea behind the Snipes!

  13. Sounds like fun. My 19-month old might not be up for hunting but she would love when it starts chirping.

  14. Never seen Up, but the snipe “hunting” prank is a tradition here in the South. So funny that they made a game of it!

  20. We have this game and my boys love it!

  21. Looks like a fun game and it brings back some memories….When I started boy scouts I was taken on a ‘snipe hunt’ on our first outing into the woods. This is where the experienced scouts “see” a snipe and excitedly call you over to check it out. Unfortunately, by the time you get there, the snipe has conveniently run away. After repeating this a few times you realize that it’s all a joke. 😀

  22. Looks like fun!

  23. What a great way to get kids up off the couch and active!

  24. My husband has memories of camping at the lake as a kid, where his dad will tell him he’d give him $100 if he caught a Snipe!

  25. Sounds like a fun game!

  26. We enjoy new games in fact we have two to try out right now.
