They'll hit store shelves later this year.
Funko Games, the company behind games like Disney Mad Tea Party and Fast & Furious Highway Heist, revealed four new tabletop games designed for preschoolers and players as young as three. Two of the four games are inspired by Dr. Seuss characters, while the other two are inspired by the children’s series CoComelon.
All four of these children’s games are part of Funko Games’ “Babysitter Approved” line, which means they’re designed to be simple to get out and put away, as well as simple to learn.
Here’s a look at the four new games that will be released later this year.
Inspired by the Dr. Seuss characters Thing One and Thing Two, the Dr. Seuss Thing One and Thing Two Where Are You? Game is a “hide-and-seek” game for two or more players aged 3+. The game includes a foam plush doll of Thing One and Thing Two that one of the players will hide somewhere around the house or play area. Once the plush doll has been hidden, the other players will take turns flipping tiles and asking questions to uncover clues about where the doll has been hidden. When someone flips over a card that says “Go Look!,” they’ll have a limited amount of time to search for the plush doll.
The Dr. Seuss Thing One and Thing Two Where Are You? Game will be released in spring 2022 for $17.49. Each game will have an expected play time of 15 minutes.
The Dr. Seuss Pattern Party Game will allow 2-4 players aged 3+ to work to be the first to fill four spaces on their goal card, which contains Dr. Seuss-inspired artwork.
The game will allow each player to control one of the game’s spinners, and when someone lands on the “Swap” space on their spinner, all of the players will exchange spinners.
The Dr. Seuss Pattern Party Game has a play time of 20 minutes. The game will be released in spring 2022 for $15.99.
Funko Games will release multiple “Pattern Party” games in 2022, which each have a different theme but the same basic gameplay. These Pattern Party games are designed to help kids practice their color, shape, and pattern recognition.
Similar to the Dr. Seuss Pattern Party Game, the CoComelon Pattern Party Game will allow 2-4 players aged 3+ to practice their colors, patterns, and shapes as they try to cover spaces on their goal cards.
The CoComelon Pattern Party Game will be released in summer 2022 for $15.99. The game has an expected play time of 20 minutes.
Designed for 2-4 players aged 3+, the CoComelon Picture Pairing Game is the latest title in Funko Games’ “Picture Pairing” series, which is inspired by the traditional “Memory” game. (Previously released Picture Pairing games were inspired by things like Dr. Seuss characters and The Crocodile Hunter.)
The CoComelon Picture Pairing Game has a play time of 10 minutes. It will be released in summer 2022 for $9.99.
Funko Games has had a big week for game reveals.
