The holidays are just around the corner, and what better way to create lasting memories with your little ones than by introducing some exciting new games to your family game nights? Get ready for a wild, suspenseful, and utterly fun experience with OranguTwang, the latest game sensation from Orangutwang, brought to you by the brilliant minds behind PlayMonster (the creators of the beloved Yeti Forgetti!).
OranguTwang is the perfect addition to your family’s game collection, designed for children aged four and up. While younger players might need a little helping hand, the simple mechanics ensure everyone can get in on the action and laughter.
What’s Inside the Jungle Box?

Unboxing OranguTwang is just the beginning of the adventure! Inside, you’ll find everything you need for hours of playful chaos:
- A trusty die to guide your turns
- Two vibrant palm trees to set the scene
- A sturdy game base
- A playful toucan lever
- A durable vine string
- The star of the show: a mischievous Orangutan
- A collection of fun hanging game pieces, including:
- Juicy Coconuts
- Sweet Bananas
- Tropical Pineapples
- Wiggly Geckos
- Fluttering Bats
Easy Setup, Instant Fun!

Getting OranguTwang ready for play is a breeze – no complicated instructions here! Simply assemble the game, lift the toucan lever until you hear a satisfying click, and hang the Orangutan from the vine. To decide who goes first, the youngest player can lead the charge, or for a fun twist, the first person to say “banana” five times fast gets the honor!
The Twang-tastic Gameplay

Once assembled, the real fun begins! Players take turns rolling the die. Based on your roll, you’ll carefully place the colorful fruit and animal pieces onto the Orangutan.
The ultimate goal? To avoid making the Orangutan jump off the vine with a big, hilarious “TWANG!” – sending all the hanging goodies flying! If you roll a star on the die, you get to skip your turn (a moment to catch your breath!). And if all the pieces have already been hung and you roll a number, simply roll again.
While the game is designed for lighthearted play, we did notice that the Orangutan can be quite sensitive, and the toucan lever is quite delicate. Gentle handling of the string is recommended to preserve the spring mechanism within the lever.
Who Wins the Jungle Prize?

The thrill of OranguTwang lies in the suspense! If your turn results in the ultimate “Orangutan Go Twang!” moment, then the player who took their turn immediately before you is crowned the winner of that round.
As our little reviewer, Miss P, perfectly put it, she “loves adding the pieces to the Orangutan and the suspense of not knowing when he’d go twang.”
More Than Just Fun: Developmental Benefits
Beyond the sheer amusement factor, OranguTwang is a fantastic game that subtly teaches valuable skills. It helps develop hand-eye coordination as children carefully place the pieces, and it encourages patience as they wait for their turn and anticipate the next move. It’s a quick, engaging game that kids can easily grasp, and best of all, it requires no batteries, meaning the fun doesn’t have to stop when the power goes out!
Add OranguTwang to your holiday shopping list and get ready for a game night filled with laughter, suspense, and unforgettable family moments.
