MOOSE GAMES CrunchLabs Squirrel Dash Kids Board Game for Family Game Night

MOOSE GAMES CrunchLabs Squirrel Dash is an interactive kids’ board game for family game night, where players race squirrels to collect nuts and navigate a basketball-triggered obstacle course.

• Inspired by Mark Rober’s viral squirrel obstacle course videos — brings the course concept to a tabletop game.
• Roll the die and move your squirrel to collect nuts — gives players a race with changing obstacles.
• Fort Knuts tips and sends a basketball through the course — creates a chain reaction that can affect other players.
• Reach 11 points worth of nuts and make the Divide Slide dash — turns scoring into a race to the finish.
• Setup takes minutes, and the course is easy to reset — helps players get back into the action after a chain reaction.

Made for kids and family game nights, Squirrel Dash combines a straightforward race with obstacles that can change what happens next. The game draws on the squirrel obstacle course series from former NASA engineer and YouTube creator Mark Rober, bringing its playful physics theme into an interactive board game.

How do you play CrunchLabs Squirrel Dash?

Players roll the die, move their squirrels forward, and collect nuts while racing around the course. To start, place the obstacle bases; once they are set up, players can begin. As Fort Knuts fills, it can tip and send the basketball rolling along the track, triggering obstacles and spilling nuts down the Divide Slide.

• The basketball’s path can knock other players out of position.
• Reset the course after the chain reaction to continue playing.

How do scoring and the finish work?

Players collect nuts for points, and the first player to score 11 points worth of nuts wins. Reaching 11 points or more sets off a dash down the Divide Slide; if no one beats the score after one final turn, that player wins.

• Getting to the last space on Fort Knuts leads to the slide and scoring.
• The final turn gives other players one last chance to beat the score.

Can the obstacles change a player’s progress?

Yes. When Fort Knuts tips, the basketball can trigger obstacles that knock players off course. Red danger spaces are especially important: a player on one when Fort Knuts tips may be hit by the chain reaction and lose ground. The obstacle course is part of the competition, not just a route to follow, so players have to watch where they are as the course builds toward a tipping point.

• Fort Knuts becomes part of the action as it fills and tips.
• The basketball’s movement brings the game’s physics theme into play.

Squirrel Dash suits kids and families who enjoy interactive, unpredictable board games and a race for points. It is designed for players who want the obstacle course and its chain reactions to shape the game, with a nut-scoring finish down the Divide Slide.
