I received a free sample of the Croc 'n' Roll game by Spin Master for my children to try it out and to share my honest opinion about this product.
While we love the idea and this game is a lot of fun for younger children, it could definitely use some improvements! The idea is that kids have to stay within a certain perimeter in a circle shaped area, which is defined by a small plastic border, and have to jump from lily pad to lily pad. Each child can only jump to their own color, and the croc ball can't touch the child. If it does, or the child steps off, they're out. The first issue we noticed is that the circle is not as large as it is pictured on the packaging, it is actually too small to fit all the lily pads and have enough space for more than two small children to be able to jump to their colors. The second issue we encountered is that the croc ball often gets "stuck" on the sides, without changing direction to come back. This made my children feel a little bit frustrated with the game, but a quick and easy solution I can recommend is that I tapped the ball to move it for them so it could continue 'chasing" after the kids to continue the fun! I suggest for the manufacturer to consider adding a few more side pieces to make the circle larger, so more children and even older siblings can play. My older kids would have loved to join in on the fun but the area is just too small. #PlayCrocnRoll #ad
