Lots of fun
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.

Best toy ever!
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!!!
