We had way more fun than expected with this game. Rounds were relatively short but screaming and laughs were worth it.

Very cute a fun game. We play it with our 9 and 6 year olds and the love it. It’s nice to have a game that gets you up and moving. I would love to see more card options in the future ☺️
Fun but maybe not for us

Hoppy Salmon is a game with a lot of actions and interactions. Likely would have been more fun with a group of young kids but our playgroup was all over 30 and found some of it a little silly. I bet kids would love the silly, though!
Great family game, easy to learn

This one is a house favorite! My kids love the chance to be loud and over the top inside the house. 😂 It's also a great one to take to game nights or to play when there's a sleepover because it's so easy to teach.
Oversized / wasteful packaging with tiny cards

The cards are ridiculously small for the box that they are in. The cost of the game and the size of the box made me expect a higher quality card and bigger size card. I will be returning it.
Fun for the whole family

Fun game full of laughter and a little chaos. The running joke now when we play this game is "you sound like a bunch of seguls off of Finding Nemo." Would highly recommend of you are looking for a quick play that keeps you laughing and moving.

My friends and I enjoyed this rendition as much as the original. Once I got this Easter variant, I put together a game night. I introduced them to the original, Happy Salmon, so they could enjoy both and compare. We have a friend that is deaf so we play with visual cues. It's become one of his favorite games. It's easy for everyone to participate. This version remains just as fast-paced as the original. The only downside is that it has fewer players. But, I've never played with all 8 players the original can support. 6 is a nice maximum number for moving people standing around one table! The only thing you may need to change with this one is some of the actions. In our smaller space where we normally play, we found it more difficult to do the "Egg Spin" without risk of injury.If you are considering getting this version and adding the two new cards to the original... it did not mix well. Even with audible cues, Hoppy Vs Happy Salmon were too similar. Egg Spin and Switch it Up also confused many in the fast pace actions of this game. I recommend buying both and keeping them separate.
A Great Game for Little Ones

The mechanics of Hoppy Salmon are fairly simple, but they get everyone up and active -- a perfect activity for spending time with the children in your life!If you're looking for an easy way to engage in an Easter-themed social gathering, I would highly recommend Hoppy Salmon
Great game to play with family or with friends.

Played this game with my nephews and nieces at a party and they loved it. The action can be a bit chaotic, if you have younger kids playing. The Easter themed actions are a fun addition to an already fun game that my group of nibblings likes to play. My friends group found this game to be amusing, and with the right amount of motivation (read booze) got into it without hangups. Sometimes you have to strip the ego away from a bunch of adults to get them to play a game involving high fives and yelling. Sometimes they will do it on a whim, thus is the life of a group of people who mostly have ADHD. This game is also good for wearing kiddos out if you play it long enough, since it is activity driven.
Fun and Easy!

...then this game’s for you. Super fun to play in an open space. Make sure you have room to move around. Don’t expect to be quiet either. This game is light and easy with minimal chance of confusion. With the right group, you’ll easily play countless rounds!
Cute edition of an amazing game

I first played this with my grandkids after dinner, and they wanted to play as soon as they woke up the next morning. We must have played a dozen times on my visit. Younger kids can play this game, but even the adults enjoyed it.
All ages can play this fun game
