When my kids saw this on the shelf, they were excited about it. I had never heard of this game, but it looked like fun family entertainment. The actual pieces are pretty simple and uncomplicated. It's made of plastic and seems cheap in quality, especially for the price. I almost thought we were missing parts of the game, because I didn't know what the rules and procedures were for taking turns to press your button to move the arm. Upon reading the instructions, I learned that both people just quickly and repeatedly press their buttons, trying to beat the other person. It would have been better if there were cards or dice or questions included, as a logical and methodical way to take turns. That would help prolong each game a bit, rather than just playing the 5 second game over and over and over. My kids (age 5 and 7) had fun, because of the "suspense" of getting the whipped cream splattered on their faces, as well as actually eating the whipped cream. You have to put quite a bit of whipped cream on the arm, otherwise it will not reach their faces when the arm pops up. The laminated face cut-outs don't stay in place on the game board. They keep falling out completely or leaning to the sides. In summary, this game can be entertaining and fun for a short period of time, but it was definitely overpriced. And don't forget about the clean up afterwards.....washing the sticky games pieces (and sticky kiddos)!
