The Dog Ate My Homework Is So Much Fun! My Daughter, Cat and I Had A Blast #review

 

 

Turns Out You Can Teach An Old Dog New Tricks

 

San Francisco, CA – (Sept. 10, 2024) – Back-to-school blues got you down? University Games has the perfect remedy—The Dog Ate My Homework! This new release takes the classic excuse and turns it into a fun game, letting players transform a mischievous dog’s mess into a masterpiece of family entertainment.

 

Craig Hendrickson, SVP Product Development at University Games, jokes, “'The dog ate my homework’—the excuse that’s been hounding teachers for generations. It’s so timelessly ridiculous, we just had to turn it into a game. Now, instead of barking up the wrong tree, it can be the star of your family game night!”

 

 

In The Dog Ate My Homework ($24.99 for ages 5+), players face off against a dog with a taste for homework. Players take turns feeding homework sheets into the dog’s mouth, turning its ear, and retrieving the pieces from its rear end. The goal? Unscramble the shreds to correctly guess the hidden image before the timer runs out. Each successful guess earns a doggie treat, and the player with the most treats after three rounds is the winner.   The Dog Ate My Homework joins other University Games popular titles, including Kids On Stage, Scavenger Hunt for Kids, Bob Moog’s Dad Jokes, Who Took My Nuts?, and Murder Mystery Party Games.

THE 411:

So fun! My daughter and I try to keep busy during Football Sunday in my house. I have a Giant fan and Cowboy fan living here and Man you don't want to be in the room with them during a game. We usually go out on Sundays but since we are pet sitting we stayed close to home. 

Today I opened The Dog Ate My Homework and thought two things! My kids would have loved this game if they were younger and is this NOT genius!??

It is literally a mini puzzle game with a twist.

Insert the papers into the dog's mouth and try to guess the puzzle when it comes out the other end. 

One of the best parts of this game is there is no batteries necessary to use! Simply turn the crank and watch the paper come out cut up out the back end.

I think this will be a great gift for kids and anyone who loves setting up family game night. Make a conscious effort to play with your kids. Unplug and play! Time spent with family is NEVER wasted time.
