Amazon.com Product Description
Do you have what it takes to survive the frog flippin' frenzy? In the Flippin' Frogs Game it's a flight for survival to launch and land as many of your frogs into the spinning tree as possible. But they better cling tight because there are crocodiles and piranhas circling the waters below, and when time runs out, the tree branches pop up. 
Up to four players can duke it out in Flippin' Frogs. View larger. |

Durability: 
(what this means)
The Good: Fun, fast-paced, flippin' frogs action
The Bad: May require parental assembly
In a Nutshell: Interactive game for the whole family | At a Glance Ages: 5 and older
Requires: 3 AA batteries (not included)
|  | | Recommended for children ages 5 and up, this fun game for the whole family is designed for up to four players. Simple Rules, Fun Plastic Shapes
The object of the game is simple: Be the player with the most frogs in the tree at the end of a round. Win three rounds, and you win the game. However, it's not as easy as it looks. The flexible, rubbery plastic frogs are shaped to hang easily from the tree branches, but when the branches pop up, these little amphibian friends tend to go flying. The brown tree trunk and blue game base are made with a sturdy, durable plastic. The green branches are made lighter for extra spring when the frogs land -- and when time is up. The lily pad-shaped catapults work really well -- so well, in fact, they'll fly too if you don't hold them down with a finger. Sound Effects Complete The Mood
As we tested the Flippin' Frogs Game, the sounds of chirping frogs and babbling water happily transported us back to a boggy marsh. The game takes a little bit of assembly, and while it's easy to tell what goes where, it's tough to attach the tree trunk into the game base. An adult might have to help snap the two pieces together. If everything's set up right, the tree will start turning when the game is "on." Once set up, the game is a blast to play -- even alone, since practice makes perfect. When the time is almost up, a bell rings, alerting you to hurry up and get one last shot in. A piece of advice: Aim for tree top; it's the safest place. With electronic sounds and motion, this game requires three AA batteries (not included).
What's in the Box
Game includes 24 frogs, 4 launchers, 1 base, 1 tree trunk, 4 branches, 1 tree top, and 1 instructional sheet.

 Flippin' Frog Game January 6, 2009
Flippin' Frog Game
My grandchildren love this game! It is so much fun to play! Adults enjoyed playing it, too. And the price couldn't be beat! I feel like I got two games for the price of one.
 Not very flippable! January 4, 2009
We bought this to take on a family vacation, so there were several kids and lots of adults, and none of us could really get the frogs going in the right direction. Little ones don't really enjoy playing games where there is no success rate for them. I do agree, however, that it might be a fun drinking game for adults - something like quarters!
Good game, but should be made with stronger material January 4, 2009
My soon to be 5 year old boys really like this game. It took one of them a little while to get the hang of flipping the frog. The thing that I do not like about it is, that it appears that the top of the tree is starting to break after only having the game for less than 2 weeks. You have to push down on the top of the tree to start the game, and the plastic does not appear to be strong enough to withstand all pushing on it to start the game.

I bought this for my almost 5 year old granddaughter for Christmas. It was the hit of the holiday. She loves it and took it to play with her cousins over the Christmas break. Everybody in the family loved it...kids and adults alike. Someone was literally playing this game at all times over the weekend. When they went to leave for home, everyone asked them to leave the game! I am buying another one for my older grandkids.
fun for all ages December 28, 2008
My kids, ages 5, 7, and 9, as well as my husband had a ball Christmas day playing with this! It was hard for the little one to restart it, but it was one of their favorite games.
