SYRACUSE, Utah --
Human hungry hippos, the balloon
snatching race!
Wait, that's not how the game's jingle goes? Well, it is now.

In the classic game "Hungry, Hungry hippos," players each have one hippo, arranged in a square, and they push down a handle to project their hippo's mouths to snatch up marbles from the middle. Its real life counterpart, "human hungry hippos," is a little more chaotic, as shown in the video above.
Instead of marbles there are balloons. Instead of the hippo's mouths, they are snatched up with laundry baskets. Instead of being propelled by handles the "hippos" are controlled by elastic bands. And instead of little plastic hippos lunging toward the middle there are humans on rolling platforms.

"We all played Hungry
Hungry Hippos as kids, but now the tabletop game has been given a much-needed
upgrade.
Thanks to Tanner Nielson, the classic game has been taken off the dining room table and moved into a gym for a human version aptly titled 'Human Hungry Hippos.'
Nielson posted a clip of the large-scale Hungry Hungry Hippos human-style to YouTube, and the video has all of us viewers anxious to give the game a try.
All you need to play is an empty gym, balloons, plastic laundry baskets, a few dollies and enough bungee cords to go around.
And don’t forget a helmet: Safety first!
Next we would like someone to create a life-size version of Candy Land."

[Don't forget the GoPro camera and cell phones to record the action! Also, the "dollies," commonly used in physical education classes, are scooters with swivel casters, but you could make your own.]
