I don't often come here to write a review, but my Dad recently bought this toy for my three kids (ages 3, 3, and 5). We got the monkey, which comes with a wand, as well as two extra wands so the kids wouldn't fight for the wands. My kids LOVE playing hide and seek, but it's annoying for me to constantly hide somewhere in the house, which usually means me crouching under a train table with numb legs waiting for someone to find me. This toy has saved me!
You (or the kids) hide the monkey ANYWHERE in the house. You can put it inside containers or under blankets, or in closets. Then the kids run around the house with the wands. When they get closer to the hidden monkey, the wand starts lighting up with red dots. When they are really close, the wand starts beeping (almost like a metal detector). My kids play it for about 45 minutes to an hour at a time! It's great!
I highly recommend getting multiple wands if you have more than one child (or for playdates). I really can't say enough good things about this product. I wish I had found it sooner!
Oh, and another plus.... it actually COMES WITH BATTERIES!!! Phew... because the monkey takes a 9-volt and I didn't have one of those in the house and I was thinking "oh, no, do I have to run out now and get a battery." I was so surprised that the battery was included. Doesn't happen often!!!

this is definitely a great toy.... it keeps little ones occupied and all you have to do is hide the monkey every few minutes. They get so excited when they find it! The only negative I have to say, is that you cannot hide it behind cushions or anywhere too "deep" as it will not pick up the signal. Keep the hiding spots simple and you will never be disappointed.

My daughter (7 years old) received this gift for Christmas while visiting her grandparents. She was the only child amongst a group of adults, but that did not discourage use of this toy. We each took turns hiding the monkey and then finding the monkey when she hid it. We played with it for almost two hours, but eventually ran out of new hiding places in the small house. It's one gift that she continues to WANT to play with even months after Christmas is over.
It's a great toy in that it combines the excitement of electronics and the element of hide & seek with an adorable monkey. His head turns, his arms and legs move and his tail twists around, making it very easy to perch or hang him anywhere. The LED on the wand works quite well: bright red lights and a loud beep indicate when the monkey is near, although it did NOT pick up the signal through the refrigerator door (we were running out of hiding places!). However, it WAS able to signal when the monkey was in the dryer, as well as when it was hanging overhead on the ceiling fan.
Both parts require batteries and do not shut off automatically. So I suggest a parent ensure both monkey and wand are turned off when play is finished, or the batteries will be dead the next time you want to play.
I highly recommend this toy. Great family fun!

Great Concept, Poor Execution
I read so many good reviews that I thought maybe those who rated this product poorly had purchased duds or earlier models.
Nope, the product really is pretty worthless. Read more
