Abstract
A liquid-shooting target game is disclosed which includes a flat, vertical panel foldable into sections and which is unfolded for disposition in an upright position on a floor or table surface. A flat, horizontal panel is attached to the lower end of the vertical panel and lays upon the floor or table surface. On the facing surface of the vertical panel are scenes of natural habitats from various geological eras. The vertical panel also includes a plurality of apertures formed thereon whose contours define the physical shape of fauna found in the particular habitat of the geologic era depicted on the vertical panel. A plurality of hollow figurines are provided so that each figurine can be inserted into the corresponding aperture. In addition, each figurine has a hole on its body so that a continuous jet of liquid shot from a squirt pistol held by a player can enter and fill the figurine. Each player shoots his or her squirt gun at a respective figurine, and a timer is used to demarcate the start and finish of the game so that the player whose figurine is filled with the most liquid when the timer sounds is declared the winner of the game.
