Retro Arcade Electronic: Duck Shooting Gallery - Tabletop Game with Blaster Gun, Moving Ducks & Sound Effects, Ages 6+

Son loved worked great

This is such a fun game. We used this to play for prizes. Setting it up was easy. Although I started putting on the points stickers without paying attention to the sizes. Don't make my mistake. The younger kiddos had some difficulty pulling the strap back on the gun and complained that it was difficult and hurt their hand. The older elementary kids didn't have any trouble. The adults couldn't resist playing too. I like that they make it look like an old time carnival game. My favorite thing is that they give a bunch extra foam shots, which is so helpful when they go flying. The countdown feature was really great. I like that you can choose to have the music on or off. It didn't bother me to have it on. Overall, this was a fun game and I'll be bringing it out for different events for the kids to win prizes.

I ordered this shooting gallery for a birthday party and the first one that arrived was already assembled and when I inserted the batteries, the music came on but the belt that moves the ducks did not work. I was able to have it replaced and returned the first one and was excited to get a second shot at this. Imagine my dismay when the second one had the same issue. I had inserted new batteries but went out and got Energizer batteries to make sure it wasn't a battery issue and still the same grinding of the belt and it not turning. Was hoping for 3rd time's the charm but even though it says replacement available it wouldn't let me get a replacement. If it worked this would be such a fun and engaging shooting gallery to use with Nerf guns.

So the instructions leave a bit to be desired, but it doesn't take long to set up. There are three size ducks. You put the 20 point sticker on the smallest, the 10 point on the medium and the 5 on the large. Look at the box for where to put the rest of the stickers. All of the foam darts in the round are just for storage. You take one out at a time and place in the barrel. The darts have a lot of power when shot. The game says 6+ and I believe this is accurate. I tried it with my 5 year old nephew who is really strong and he could not pull back the pull to cock the gun. It required me to do it each time. The ducks are held on to the gallery by magnets which held just right. They stayed on but could easily be shot off. Also there is a collection bin underneath for any ducks that fall in instead of being shot out the back. I was concerned that loose ducks would jam the game but it REALLY operated smoothly and was a lot of fun. I could kids of all ages enjoying this. Some distance would be challenging for older kids and adults. Also, for you parents out there, there is a setting to play with or without sound. The carnival music can be a bit much after a while. Overall, I would definitely recommend this!

I wasn't sure what to expect with this, but it is a blast.Takes a little time to put other. Most of that time is putting all the stickers on all the parts which is the only real knock I have on this. (I hate having to try to lineup stickers perfectly on toys)The ducks move the same as they would in a real carnival game. It doesn't keep score for you as the ducks just pop off the magnet when you hit them. Then when the timer runs out, you have to add them up yourself. At first, I thought this reduced the fun of the game, but.......There's just something really enjoyable and satisfying about how those ducks fly off when you nail 'em with that dart.The kids enjoy it and it's a blast for a 30 something year old big kid.

This game is as pictured. I had so much fun playing this with the kids. It reminds me of the duck games that you see at carnivals, but of course, this is a much smaller scale. You do need 3 AA batteries that are not included. I like that the darts are foam, so you don't need to worry about anyone getting hurt or things getting broken in the excitement of the game. I was missing quite a bit, lol, but once I got my aim things went much better. I think this is a great game to add to the list when you are needing indoor activities due to weather. So much fun and excitement trying to beat the clock.

My son and I were very excited for this "duck shoot" carnival style game. Assembly wasn't too bad, but there were a number of large stickers which required placing (a steady hand is helpful). After assembly when we started the target, we noticed some issues with the action - our ducks wouldn't rotate properly. It would move, but it always seems to struggle.Also, the foam dart gun provided, is fairly under-powered, compared to a standard Nerf gun - there is no comparison. I'm not sure if that is really a quality issue, or more a safety consideration by the company (Nerf guns have been known to cause eye-damage)?Overall: The idea is great, but due to the quality issues, not recommended. 3-stars - due to quality issues.

I had no idea this game would be as fun as it is until the right thing and my son absolutely fell in love with it he played with her for hours and even said he wanted to call over his friends to play. It was very efficiently very easy to set up and really simple for any child play. It’s such a cool game and take her back to the arcade days. It’s what made high quality material and it’s something I would definitely recommend.
