CRASHING COLOSSUS SKYSCRAPER - Giant Jenga
CRASHING COLOSSOS: Skyscraper Edition
START HEIGHT : 100cm
BUILD HEIGHT : 200+cm (The biggest available in NZ)
LEVELS : 22
BLOCKS : 66 of them, made from the highest grade (clears) Pinus Radiata, grown right here in the ‘Land of the long white cloud’.
Crashing Colossos - Classic is $169.90
Start Height 60cm with 42 level if wanting another option
Also Tabletop edition is available - $29.90
SOLID BUILD : Like the normal sized Jenga! (This game does not space the blocks apart like other giant Jenga or giant tower versions to give the impression of size) reusable (if looked after) double layer cardboard box.
SETUP: Find a flat and firm area to start building from or the Colossus will not reach its full height potential. Build the Colossus in 3 block wide layers, each new layer at a right angle to the layer below it. Stack all 22 layers (66 blocks) n a tidy fashion. Children should start with only 16 layers.
GAME PLAY: Game builder starts. Using only one hand remove a block from anywhere except the top layer and place it on top of the Colossus. The top layer must be complete before building another. All layers are placed at right angles to the layer below it. If a block is moved only part way out before getting stuck the player is allowed to move on to a new block. The person whose turn makes the Colossus crash is the loser.
INSTRUCTIONS: Laminated
MADE IN: New Zealand
PLAYERS: 1 – 6
AGE : 7 & up, children should start with only 16 layers or less
PLAY FULL SIZE OR REMOVE A FEW LEVELS FOR KIDS

Inspired by the great family game Jenga (taken from South African game Ta-Ka-Radi) we set out to create a pimped out giant Jenga tower, this gave birth to the next evolution.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
