Brands
Although Hasbro is the official holder of the Pie Face brand, manufacturing all the original versions of the game, other brands manufacture similar pie-in-the-face games. Estrela, Toy Kids and Polibrinq are among the brands producing games similar to Pie Face Brasil.
When choosing, pay attention to the quality of the product and the brand’s reputation, to ensure the safety and durability of the product. Observe the presence of the INMETRO quality seal, which certifies that the product has passed all the tests to which it was submitted by the regulatory agency.
Activation mechanisms
The activation mechanisms for the pie in the Pie Face game vary according to the version chosen. They are the following:
- Pie Face Chain reaction: Turns the crank. Random trigger;
- Pie Face Sky High: Activation by force – hitting the button makes the pie rise until it hits the opponent;
- Pie Face Duel: Activation by buttons – the player who presses the button faster shoots the pie in the opponent;
- Pie Face Cannon: Manual activation of the cannon.
Included items
Although the main objective of all versions of the Pie Face game is to hit “pies” on players, the whipped cream used to make the pie is not included in the game, and must be purchased separately.
Some versions, however, include a sponge in the box. When wet the sponge can replace the whipped cream in the game, being a more economical and clean option for the game.
Safety
Besides being extremely fun, Pie Face is a very safe game, whose probability of accidents and injuries is very small, even if the children are playing without adult supervision.
As already mentioned, the toy does not contain sharp parts and small pieces that can be swallowed or aspirated by children.
There is also no risk of the pie hitting the child’s face too hard, as the distance from the arm to the place where the face is positioned ensures that there is only a very slight impact.
