Find It® At the Zoo Review by Jennifer Ladewig
Find It Games®https://www.finditgames.com/
Founded in 2003, Find It® Games offers family-friendly treasure hunts inside a tall, sealed tube called a "Contained Adventure." Find It® At The Zoo features safari colored plastic pellets that hide various animals. There are forty items to discover. There are 39 different reptiles, fish, mammals, and bugs to find. The fortieth item is the famous penny included in all Find It® Games. The Find It® Games are recommended for ages 8 to 98. A Bible verse is printed on the bottom of the plastic box that Find It® comes in, "Seek and you shall find." Matthew 7:7. Find It® At The Zoo retails for $29.95.
Find It® Games are portable, convenient for the car, travel, and anywhere else. As per my scale, the tube weighs 1lb 5.9oz or 622g. When considering young children, people with pain conditions, arthritis sufferers, and others with conditions that affect their ability to hold, find, and enjoy At The Zoo, Find It® is relatively lightweight. A list of all the items hidden within the pellets can be found at the top of the tube. A check-off pad is also included. A dragon fly, a camel, an ant, an owl, a seal, and a sheep are among some of the items in At The Zoo Find It®. The Contained Adventure® could be used in a school setting, after-school programs, at home, in senior care facilities, in hospital units, in waiting rooms at doctors' offices, or just about anywhere else you can think of.
Find It® games have been a family favorite for years. Throughout the years, we have purchased four Find It® games: Find It At The Beach, Find It Glitz & Glamour, On A Bird Watch, and At The Zoo (First Edition). Throughout the years, they have been dropped, taken on trips, lived in cars, placed in toy boxes, and played by individuals between 3 and 73 years old, yet they look fantastic. No scratches or discoloration are visible on the clear plastic. The items listed at the top of the tube are in perfect condition. There is a very small amount of dust that most likely accumulated on the inside of the plastic tube from the pellets over the years. The materials used are of excellent quality. Find It® Contained Adventure® is a great gift for families and friends. Playability is excellent. You won't have to worry about your Find It® games collecting dust on a shelf. Your family and friends will pick it up and look for items when you leave it out in a common area. Go to www.finditgames.com and check out At The Zoo one of the newest Find It® games!
