Pop-up Pirate is a game I have vivid memories of from when I was a child. It is a very simplistic game made by Tomy and is a great game for the whole family. ~~ What is that weird man doing in a barrel? ~~ Pop-up Pirate is basically a circular barrel, with space in the top to put in a man whose head is completely ...

I used to have this game when I was a child and my little sister got this game for christmas this year, since then we have been roped into playing it with her many times as she loves it. This game costs roughly £10 depending on where you buy it from, in the box you get a plastic barel with holes in the sides, a blue plastic ... Read the complete review

On the whole I am not a fan of modern childrens games because they are too fussy and complicated to set up as well as needing a lot of batteries to keep most of them going. Pop Up Pirate is easy to set up, fun to play and best of all does not need any batteries so it is a firm favourite when my grandaughter comes to visit. The ... Read the complete review

'Pop Up pirate' (made by Tomy) is a game that must have been around for quite a long time! I say this because our game is now in a rather battered old box which first belonged to my step children who are now eighteen and fifteen! The game was consigned to the back of a cupboard for quite a few years, but now is seeing the light of day ... Read the complete review

We recently decided to try and get the kids more involved in games played as a family or with each other, rather than the TV or playstation being on all the time, so when my wife was browsing the books at a car boot sale the other day I picked up a couple of games to have a trial at. One of them was Pop Up Pirate by Tomy and ... Read the complete review

Last weekend we celebrated our son Craig's first birthday. Anyone visiting our house on Sunday would think they had stepped into a mini branch of Toys R Us because of the vast amount of toys everywhere. As my parents have been away for a few months now they came laden with gifts for Craig's birthday, and so that Gemma ... Read the complete review

I hadn't played this game for years and then i saw it. It isn't a complicated game in the least but is great for rainy days when the kids can't get out but need a game to play. How it works is that there is bog brown barrel with a pirate in it and you have to take it in turns to put little swords in to the ... Read the complete review

James had been pestering for 'Pop up pirate' for a couple of weeks so when we saw one at a car boot sale we thought 'why not' specially as it only cost us fifty pence -usual shop price is £9.99 so we thought this a bargain. The game is made by Tomy Active and is for up to 4 players, aged four and above. Well to ... Read the complete review

I bought this game for my 6 year old at Xmas. I also have a 3 year old, and the noise that comes out of my house from these two, once this game is set up - is deafening. The rules are simple - take it in turns to pull swords out of the barrel - perfect for 2 boys - complicated rules make for boring games. The time it ... Read the complete review

Last week I realised why I never got a Pop Up Pirate as a Christmas present when I was a little girl. I thought it was because my Mum and Dad kept on forgetting (although I pestered them constantly about it!) but NOW I know why, THIS THING IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY!!! I stayed round a friends house last week and we all got fairly ... Read the complete review

This is a Pop up fun game ideal for the under 7's. The idea is to put swords into the barrel - each player in turn - until the pirate pops up. In theory if you do that you are the looser but younger children don't tend to care about that, they just love to watch the pirate jump into the air! This game has ... Read the complete review

We got this for Harry's 3rd Birthday. As he comes from a family of game players, I thought it might be a good introduction to game playing. The pirate sits in a barrel, each player [up to 4 of you], has a different coloured set of swords, and you take it in turns to push them into slits in the barrel. If you make the pirate ...
