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.

Hit the slopes in Winter Games 2023 For PC and Game Systems + My Son's Thoughts

Experience ten different winter sports disciplines in the ultimate winter holiday for up to four players.

 

My son the gamer told me that he thinks playing alone was boring but he could see how playing with up to 4 friends would be exciting especially if you are a die hard gamer. He loves playing against others and spends most of his day doing so.

He felt that the controls were easy to follow, the game has great graphics and he also thought it was fun learning about some sports he didn't even know were a thing. He is now excited to watch the next winter Olympics with us. 

See his explanation in the video above. I wish I could play but honestly, I am the worst about trying to navigate games that require hand and eye coordination. 

My son thinks it should absolutely be included in my Holiday Gift Guide so I have included it.

The 411: 

I was hesitant to get this one since it's been so long since we played the last ones on the Wii.  My kids are older and I didn't think we would enjoy it anymore but when I showed my kids that we got this, their eyes lit up. 

Once we started playing everyone was having a great time.  Even my husband, who does not play a lot of video games was getting a kick out of this. There were even some really cool games that looked like an 80's Nintendo game and he loved that!

Honestly, I was really surprised at how much fun we had playing this game! When they were younger, playing games with them was quality family time. I missed it and they have been hanging with us playing instead of locked up in their rooms. It might be short lived because it is new but I will take it!

Safe, Green, Online, Social, Game Community for Kids

What I Can Tell You:
My kids are total gamers. My son loves electronic games and my daughter loves computer games. I am not surprised because Dad and I are total gamers ourselves and have wasted years of our lives that we will never get back.

I set Goddess up and let her go. The hardest part is she can't read yet. You do need to be able to read to get the most from this site.

She loved the games especially the recycle game. Where she got to catapult the garbage into the correct recycling bin.

It's so easy to sign up and a safe way for kids to make online friends, choose an avatar, play games, and more importantly, Minimonos believes in creating a difference in the world.  Every new membership provides clean drinking water for children in India. When they hit their first 50 Gold members, they adopted an orangutan baby for a year.

The best features of these games are the life lessons kids learn on MiniMonos. If they don't clean the planet, trash builds up in their little online corner of the world. Creating good habits, starts early and my 5 year old spends most of her recess and park time, cleaning the earth. I can only imagine the activist she will become.

If your kids love online games, why not try one that gives back to the world in such a profound way. Clean water! Something we all need.
