About

Hungry Hungry Hippos is a fast paced, mechanical action game for 2‚4 players where teams control colourful hippos that chomp marbles in a frantic feeding frenzy. Introduced by Hasbro in 1978, it remains one of the most beloved and recognisable family games ever made, with multi-generational appeal that spans preschoolers to adults. The brand has exploded back into popular culture through appearances in major films, expanding into multiple themed editions and new play formats, including portable travel versions and oversized Giant Editions for active outdoor play. It's a property built on pure joy, simplicity, and the kind of boisterous fun that transcends age and creates lasting family memories.
