When it comes to favorite childhood memories, a lot of us might put playing a family game high on the list. What’s your favorite pawn when you’re playing a board game? There’s the classic shape we all know—a ball on top of a cone. Then there are the more creative ones like a shoe, a car, a bike, etc. But what if it was you? Not like a little picture of you… but really you.

Squiggle, wiggle, and hop your way into family fun
SquiggleHop™ is made up of five different categories in this silly life-size twist on a classic board game. Each category is designed to inspire fun in a new way, from moving to new places on the path, to learning new things about each other. The first to the end wins!
With 40 game tiles, all you have to do is pick, place, and play! Make it a long game and place them all down, or play with 20 for an abbreviated version. Thanks to individual tiles that can in any order you’d like, no two games are ever the same, especially when you use the star tiles to build a bridge to a new section. Spin the spinner, then toss is to the next player to keep squiggling down the path.
