BEVERLY HILLS TEDDY BEAR CO.
WICKED COOL TOYS Wicked Cool Toys introduces its first game, Hank’s Twisted Challenge. Players must twist their bodies into crazy positions as they try to move a ball from their mouthpiece to the end of a twisted wire. The game is designed for kids ages 8 and up, and will be available this fall.
Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Co. introduces Squeezamals Freeze ’n Squeeze Game, licensed and published by Big G Creative. The game is a twist on the classic game of hot potato, in which players take turns making a yummy treat for their Squeezamal to enjoy. The player caught holding the plush when it’s time to eat must pay for the treat. The game is designed for kids ages 6 and up and includes an exclusive Squeezamal.
HASBRO Hasbro Gaming launches the Monopoly Cash Grab game. To play, users load the Monopoly Money into the Money Blaster (aka the bank) and spin the spinner to blast Monopoly cash and Chance cards into the air. Players rush to grab as much cash as they can to win. Chance cards add more strategy to the game and give players the opportunity to swap money stacks, take half of any one player’s money stack, or make all players pass their money stack to the left. Once the blaster is empty, the player with the most cash wins the game. Toilet Trouble is back, but this time it’s a two-player challenge. In Toilet Trouble Flushdown, players go head to head in a fast-paced race to avoid the spray. Players must race to spin their rolls of toilet paper the fastest to avoid getting sprayed by the plastic throne. In Connect 4 Shots, players compete in a rapid-fire race to get four shots in a row. Players must simultaneously bounce the lightweight, colorful balls off the table and into the grid. Whoever gets four of their balls in a row first wins the game.
