"Consumer response to Zingo!® has been outstanding because it has such a unique play experience. Kids love being in charge of the Zinger and shouting out Zingo!® when they win, and parents appreciate the fact that their kids are developing essential thinking skills as they play.

About Zingo!®
Zingo!® is an innovative game that utilizes the familiar bingo concept, but adds a mind-challenging Zing. Kids slide the Zingo!® Zinger forward to reveal two mystery playing tiles. As the tiles are revealed, kids call out matching images to fill their playing cards. The first person to completely fill a playing card wins by yelling Zingo!®

Fun for the entire family, Zingo!® helps kids develop vocabulary, memory and matching, and social interaction skills. Perfect for keeping young minds engaged and entertained for hours, Zingo!® has quickly become a family favorite. For ages 4-8, and 2-8 players. MSRP: $14.99. Zingo!® can be purchased at independent toy stores, national toy and game retailers and at www.ThinkFun.com [1].
