Cockroach – Limited edition with glowing effect

Peter Paul Jobin had an idea ten years ago that what he had come up with could be successful. Maybe, because you never know in advance. Now, in 2023, an anniversary edition of his children’s toy Kaklerkak is available from Ravensburger. Limited edition. This shows that he was right.

What is a cockroach with hexbug?

If you’ve never heard of cockroaches, you’ve probably never heard of hexagonal insects. Hexbugs are small, battery-powered robots. In the case of a cockroach, similar to a cockroach. But no fear. She can only walk noisily.

Special mechanism for children’s toys

In the game, a cockroach is released into a kitchen maze. Anyone who plays with him tries to let this cockroach fall into the trap. In his own trap, of course. However, it’s not that easy because our cockroach is rushing violently through the maze, and it’s actually impossible to predict where it’s going.

Whoever gets his turn throws the dice. The cube determines which piece of cutlery (fork, knife, or spoon) can be moved in the maze. Of course, the question mark for free choice is very popular. And that’s the way things turn out. Whoever gets the cockroach into their trap gets a chip. Then it restarts. Five of them mean total victory.

Excitement is also present in the limited edition Kakerlakak

Even then, the round can go by more quickly or more slowly. The cockroach has a life of its own. What is always the same is stress! It’s fascinating to watch what happens when the box is opened and the first round of the game begins. At a children’s play meeting, other children are immediately there, amazed and wanting to play with them. The rules are explained quickly. Kids can even do it themselves.

Pure magic!

Some children are so fascinated by the cockroach in the maze that they sit immersed in front of the game board and watch what happens. A friendly reminder of the cube as we move forward. Of course, waiting can also be a strategy. However, if almost everyone at the table did so, the great dynamism of Kakarlakak would disappear a little. Although: If children who are not so fast play together, there is no problem at all. Who knows how the cockroach will go…?

Anniversary Edition with glow-in-the-dark effect

Now all that’s left is “glow in the dark”. The Anniversary Edition can also be played in the dark. Although playing in semi-darkness is also great. To do this, the game must be similar Witches’ Night Be illuminated by a lamp. Everything you need to play already glows bright green. Maze pieces, cubes, potato chips and cockroach. A nice experience for children. The rule is to play until the shine decreases. But it was never done. It’s so beautiful when it’s always lit.

The Cockroach is still running in its tenth year and with millions of copies sold – with children and adults! The challenge does not subside. But the most important thing is that Cockroach is also fun, especially with the limited edition.
