Banana Blast Game Wins Walmart’s Top Rated by Kids

 

PLANO, TX – August 29th, 2019 – Goliath Games participated in the 7th annual Top Rated by Kids event in July showcasing their new skill and action game, Banana Blast. Banana Blast was chosen as a winner at this event.

Banana Blast was put to the test as hundreds of kids, parents, and popular influencers play-tested the game to help Walmart pick nothing but the best offerings for the upcoming holiday season. Both Goliath and Walmart foresee Banana Blast to be a strong driver this Fall.

“We’re so excited for Banana Blast to be included as a Walmart Top Rated by Kids winner,” said David Norman, President of the North American Goliath division.

“Kids need that ‘a-ha moment’ to stay engaged during gameplay and they love waiting for the monkey to jump. It’s great fun and helps to teach kids not only hand-eye coordination, counting and quick reactions, but life skills, such as how to take turns and being a good friend by sharing.”

Players roll the die to see how many bananas they get to pick from the treetop. Removing one of the bananas will make the monkey jump, but it’s a different banana every time, so players must stay engaged! When the monkey leaps from the tree, all players must try to catch him before he hits the ground. The player who catches the monkey gets bonus bananas, and whoever has the most bananas wins.

Swing into fun with Banana Blast! Recommended for 2-5 players, ages 4 and up. Watch it in action here.

Banana Blast has over 150 positive reviews and can be purchased online and in Walmart stores.
