Rumble in the jungle

Amazing game not easy to put together but it’s good game

Had this as a kid and bought it to have the same fun as an adult. The whole family loves it!

We bought this thinking it was a jungle themed mousetrap but in fact it's a whole different game. You set up all the pieces which can be a bit fickle in fitting together properly for the ball to roll down and knock the pieces. I've given it 3 stars for the need to spend 5mins setting it up and that some of the 'reaction' pieces don't really work but it gets 4 stars for fun play.

Not as fun as looks on TV, a bit clunky and not a smooth operating toy like mousetrap. Would be better for ages 6 and under I reckon

This game is very poorly built. It does not operate as it should, with the ball getting stuck numerous times throughout the game leading to frustration for all players (but especially the youngest members). Very disappointing. This was one item he asked for for Christmas but refuses to play with it now as it is so poor. Also whilst playing, the parts are easily knocked, again leading to frustration. Definitely not suitable for age 5+. Our son is 6.

Daughter got this when she was 7 or 8. She lost lots of tge bits from it so after a couple of years we threw it away. She never forgave me. She is now 22. We played for about an hour or so on Christmas day. She was chuffed to bits

6 year old Granddaughter loved it

The idea of the game is brilliant, easy to get the hang of and could be fun. The problem is, and it will totally inhibit your enjoyment is all the plastic parts are so flimsy the game doesn’t actually work as it should. The wheel of doom keeps getting stuck as the buckets don’t move and keep catching the leaves. The giraffe’s tail blocks the ball so it doesn’t actually move. Finally the ball doesn’t even budge the rickety bridge with a player on it. So as the main mechanism of the game doesn’t really function as it should it’s a bit disappointing. Shame, as it really has the potential to be a brilliant game. Just built on the cheap

Wenig begeistert. Das Produkt wirkt billig produziert und für kleinere Kinder ungeeignet, da der Aufbau sehr schwierig ist. Anleitung nur auf Englisch und die Bilder dazu sind sehr verwirred. Nicht zu empfehlen.

The game is a great concept, the execution not so much. Many of the parts don't work properly without tweaking them during the game. I actually would have returned it if my son hadn't loved it so much. It can be pretty frustrating mid game to have to adjust and reattach things as you go.

We could not get the wheel to pick up the ball bearings.

Das Spiel hatte ich mir bestellt, nachdem ich vor vielen Jahren bereits sehr gute Erinnerungen mit diesem gemacht hatte. Nach langem Suchen (da ich den Namen vergaß), bin ich fündig geworden und habe es umgehend bestellt. Bei mir angekommen bin ich zum Schluss gekommen, dass die Runden so schnell vergehen, dass kein wirklicher Spielspaß aufkommen konnte. Die Murmelbahn funktioniert auch eher schlecht als recht, sodass die Murmeln häufig aus dem Spielbrett gefallen sind, bevor sie überhaupt auf die Bahn kamen. Alles in Allem hat das Spiel meine Erwartungen nicht erfüllt und mir gezeigt, dass manche Dinge der Vergangenheit angehören und dort bleiben sollten.

This pops up when you're searching for games similar to Mouse Trap, and at first glance, it seems that is what you're getting. The various pieces are brightly colored, there is a maze of sort for the players to navigate, but Rumble is an absolute nightmare to assemble. The first thing to note is that you have to put the board together entirely before the first game is played, so make sure you don't have your kids eagerly watching you trying to squeeze these plastic pieces together. Maybe we had a bad box, but our pieces weren't exactly precision quality. One piece in particular - the snake - kept losing its peg, forcing us to disassemble the "Wheel of Doom" in order to get the misshapen peg back out and try and hold the snake in place. Despite us following the instructions, we couldn't get the snake tail to line up with the Wheel with any sort of accuracy. The Wheel also dropped marbles randomly outside the palm tree drop zone, and the giraffe would often get stuck, no matter how far back we tilted its head. We set this up on our kitchen table first, and then moved it to the floor thinking that maybe it just wasn't a flat enough surface. This did not correct the errors in the maze's functionality. In the end, it looks like shoddy design. IF the marble run worked as promised, the game would probably be marginally fun, although the "crank" action for the wheel is a little finicky for small hands to navigate, especially since the crank is a hanging monkey. Overall, I do not recommend.
