Wet Head Water Roulette Game Review

Reviewed by Kirstie Fruen

A roulette style game, much like the game Pie Face. Here, however the stakes are much higher and much more entertaining!

The packaging is bright and colourful which instantly attracts you to the game with the idea of the game being instantly obvious from the packing. My youngest boys aged 4 and almost 4 were telling me what to do to play it, before we even opened it!

Inside the box is a bright yellow hat with a light blue chin strap, a light blue reservoir for the water that snaps onto the top of the hat (which spins when you twist it) and several red pins which slot into the reservoir. They aren’t easy to slot in but I think they need to be quite tough as they release the water if you pull the wrong one (like Crocodile Dentist) and a spinner.

The hat is a good size and fits an adult as well as a child, it’s so big that I think even the biggest adult head could fit in there. The chin strap is adjustable too so even if the hat is a little big/wobbly when you have it on, the strap should stabilise it.

To play,

  • Put the hat on your head and secure using the chin strap.
  • Spin the reservoir on the top of the hat to mix up the pins!
  • Then twist the dial on the spinner and it tells you how many straws from the funky hat you need to pull out. Pull 1 pin out, pull 2 pins out, skip a turn, reverse and pull a pin and spin again!

The pins are tough to pull out but my littlest people (both my boys plus a girl aged 6) can manage, however you might have to put one hand on the top of the hat just to give you some resistance. When you pull the wrong pin out the water is released through some holes in the top of the hat and round the outside of the hat too.

It is up to you how much water you put in, the reservoir holds a good beaker full of water but you don’t have to put this much in if you don’t want to get too wet.

My littlest people put a tablespoon in because they wanted to play but not get wet and my eldest (14) went the whole hog and got soaked!

Playing this game YOU WILL GET SOAKED but you will also LAUGH!!

This game is super fun, gets you incredibly wet and marvellously entertaining. It’s my birthday soon and I know what we will be playing!!!

I would rate this game 4 out of 5 (only because the pins are stiff).

Rating: 4/5
