Wing It

What is it about?

Race around the british countryside to be the first to spot unusual birds and at the same time hamper your opponents (in a variety of evil ways)to prevent them from getting there first.

What’s it all about’ to be changed to: “A surprisingly underhand game, produced in conjunction with the RSPB.

Where did the idea come from?

A couple of years ago at the Toy Fair, a fellow exhibitor and avid bird watcher disappeared for the day as there had been a rare bird spotted on the coast of Norfolk. On his return, he insisted we should create a game based on bird watching, because it is such a popular pastime.

After a little research we discovered that the RSPB had over 1 million members. An untapped market, perhaps, so Stuart and I thought we’d give it a go.

Early versions involved a rogue birdwatcher with a shotgun, but we thought this was a bit extreme. However, there is still plenty of mischievousness in the game to keep all those non birdwatchers thoroughly engrossed.
