WHAT ARE GOGO'S CRAZY BONES?
Gogo's are small colorful characters that come in hundreds of colors and designs, each one with a unique name, design, personality and special ability. Kids of all ages have fun collecting, trading and playing with Gogo's Crazy Bones!
Gogo's were inspired by games from ancient Greece where children played by bouncing and throwing sheep knuckle bones. Today’s Gogo’s are reminiscent of old school favorites such as marbles and jacks, with a modern twist! Each Gogo has a unique number for collecting and designed so you can hold and throw with one finger.
THE SERIES
Each Gogo's Series has about 80 different Gogo's in five different colors, some of which are rarer than others, each with a unique face and name. You can find Series 1 - The Originals, Series 2 - The Evolution Series and Series 3 - The Explorer Series in stores now across North America. Series 4 hit the shelf in August!!!!
HOW DO I PLAY WITH MY GOGO'S?
Each Gogo has a favourite game they usually perform best in and three performance stats for playing games:
- Speed: This shows you whether the Gogo will gain speed and crash strength
- Bounce: This tells you if it will be easy to predict where the Gogo will land after it's thrown
- Balance: This tells you whether the Gogo will stand up easily after it has been thrown
Thank you to Gogos Crazy Bones for letting us review the Gogos
Our children were so excited to receive 50 packets of the Explorer Gogos Crazy Bones Series 3. They were very generous to us and we are so thankful to receive so many. Each set has one Gogo and a sticker to go with it. What I love about Gogos is that they are educational. When you have several packets you can play a educational game with them. They have a parents/teachers on there Gogos website.

My kids would be in heaven! They LOVE Gogo's! We have to buy one or two every time we go to the store!
My kids would love this game! Anything with pieces in it to drive me insane as I pick them up from anywhere but the game box is right up their alley :D
Oh they are little pieces. Not for my little one yet, but my other grandkids would love these.
Looks like fun! As a mom, I am always on the lookout for toys that have an educational component to them.
