Who Should Play Tanks On Game Pigeon. Game Pigeon is only meant for people who are 12+. Game Pigeon company says that the reason why they picked 12+ as an age rating is because of the fact that the game has some intense/frequent fantasy or Cartoon violence.

Don’t Let the Pigeon Run This App! is a quirky and creative interactive universal storybook app which brings to life Mo Willems's character, Pigeon, found within his hit series of picture books.
We love the book Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and other stories from this series in our house, so I was very eager to review this application. For those who do not know, this app is based on titles such as Don’t let the Pigeon Drive the Bus or Don’t let the Pigeon Stay Up Late, as these books open with the Bus Driver asking the readers to do him a favor and keep reckless Pigeon out of trouble by not letting him drive the bus or stay up late and so forth. The rest of the story is about the pigeon trying every trick in the book to convince one to do what he wants, allowing children to stand up to the pigeon, saying “no” to his pleas.
I love these books. Pigeon can be cheeky, and my son has used pigeons’s one-liners, such as offering to “Give you five bucks” himself to try to stay up late. For this reason, some parents may feel that this pigeon is a bad influence on children, but I love the idea of my son practicing his ability to say “no” to this scheming pigeon as I want him to be prepared to stand his ground later in life when he is confronted by peer pressure, and I want him to recognize when he is being manipulated.
This app nicely translates these titles into witty videos that kids and adults will really enjoy. I like the fact that there are three levels of interaction available to best work with different aged children and their skill levels.
“Egg” mode allows young children to watch a video based on this pigeon’s exploits, and it is nice that the story changes each time with titles such as “Don't let the pigeon wear your shirt” or “Don’t let the pigeon borrow your cell phone.” There is no interaction here past shaking the device when the pigeon shows up, but the look and story are exactly what Willems fans will expect and it is nice here that one can switch on text to read along with as well if one so desires.
The “Chick” section allows one to customize the video as one can select different elements with a tap such as food item, favorite game and stinky thing, and one can also record one’s name that will also be incorporated into the story.
“Big Pigeon” is the most interactive section, allowing one to record the different elements used within to make the experience unique. Here, the player will be asked to record a favorite number, person's name and other responses instead of choosing from multiple selections.
My son really delights in each of these areas. He can easily watch the “egg” mode himself, and navigate the “the chick” section as well, making his own choices as wonderful prompts and lovely words of encouragement are offered by the bus driver, guiding readers through the interactive aspect of this section.
My son does does need help with the record feature of the “Big Pigeon” as one needs to press a record button and speak clearly before the provided few seconds run out. The time offered to record is a flaw here, as one does not have enough time to answer more than one or two words at a time - an issue sometimes as when we were asked for a favorite game, our answer - “duck duck goose” - was cut off mid-thought. The big issue here is that one cannot go back and re-record areas that one knows were flubbed, which can be frustrating, to say the least.
Having said this, I do really enjoy the chance to add my own details to these stories, and most of the time the recording works without any problems. It is also fun in the way the pigeon explains the different voice being heard as a frog in his throat and is in need of a cough drop.
My son squeals with delight during these videos in any of the different levels of interactive storytelling. Here, this pedantic pigeon expresses any and all emotions when he does not get his way - throwing a huge tantrum that my son adores watching - and oddly finding it very calming to see such relatable feelings expressed.
Both my husband and I feel that this pigeon is the Bugs Bunny of my son's generation as he in some ways may be an anti-hero and not a character than one would like one's child to emulate, but adults may be charmed by this pigeon nonetheless. I was really eager to hear the voice talent chosen for this iconic character, and I appreciate that Willems himself is narrating this character, bringing a sly sophistication perfect for this pigeon, with a nuance of what I believe David Sedaris would sound like if he voiced an anthropomorphic creature for a children’s story.
I think it is simply charming how this story changes, either automatically within the simplified “egg” mode or with the use of children’s own creativity. Adults will notice that although certain words or phrases are new throughout, the majority of the story is scripted and produces much of the same experience. I can see how parents could potentially grow weary as they listen to this again and again, but for what it’s worth, I have not grown tired or bored from this entertaining storybook.
One can save up to five favorite stories in the vault, but I wish there were more specific instructions on how to do so as I am not able to figure out how this works - kind of a bummer. I do hope a better guide for saving stories will be included in a future update.
There is also a section on how to draw a pigeon, introduced and narrated by Mo Willems himself. Typical of many drawing apps, kids trace over a template that builds shapes until the character is complete. This section is fun and I like how Willems explains how the placement of the pupil within the eye greatly changes the emotion displayed - great advice children can bring to their other drawings outside this app. It is also fun that the children's completed drawing can be saved on one's device.
This app may also be an interesting app for special needs children as I really enjoy how the Bus Driver prompts the readers into making interactive choices and how he responds so conversationally in the “Big Pigeon” section as he leads one through these recordings - a nice way to teach those who may have issues understanding the give-and-take found between people talking in a social situation. Of course, it would be up to parents and teachers if the rest of this pigeon’s antics are appropriate.
We all have enjoyed this app immensely and will continue to do so. Having said this, I do think the current price of $6.99 is high compared to other apps at this price point. I highly recommend this app for the right family who will enjoy this app’s quirky sense of humor, but I think a lower price would be more palatable to parents.

If you are looking for an exciting and interactive activity, look no further! The Escape Game Pigeon Forge, which is conveniently located at The Island, is the perfect mix of intellectual stimulation, entertainment, and teamwork. Instead of sitting on the couch reading a book or watching another movie, The Escape Game lets you solve the mystery and be the hero!
Upon arrival, a staff member will help you understand the object of the chosen game and the rules. Next, you and your team will be locked in a room and the one-hour timer is started. To complete the mission, you will need to work as a team, quickly decode messages, and pay attention to everything around you!
Get stuck in the game, no problem! There is an experienced staff member monitoring the game who will make sure you have a great time and get as much (or as little!) help as you need. Most people ask for at least three clues, but there is not a limit if you need extra assistance.
The Escape Game Pigeon Forge is the number one escape game in the United States for a reason! The attention to detail in each of the challenges is nothing short of amazing. The sounds, smells, and sights provide an immersive experience that quickly sucks you into the experience.
In addition, The Escape Game team genuinely works to ensure each guest has an amazing experience. When it comes to hospitality, customer service, and providing people with incredible experiences, the team here gets a solid five stars!
While all of the escape games are amazing, the following three were our favorites:
Gold Rush (Difficulty 7/10)
Gold Rush is perfect for first timers at The Escape Game. In this escape, you are racing against the mob to find Clyde Hamilton’s secret stash of gold. If you don’t find the gold within 60 minutes, you’ll be too late. The elusive gold hunt will require you to decode messages, open locks, hunt for gold, and even fire a BB gun!
This incredible escape took 850′ of rough sawn lumber, 1,128 pounds of concrete, 1,500 pounds of sand, and four whole trees to build. There is even a shooting range that guests fire nearly 500,000 BB’s per year at!
Prison Break (Difficulty 9/10)
Prison Break is the most challenging Escape at this location – it is sure to test your skills! The worst-case scenario has come true. You have been wrongly accused of a crime you did not commit. Now, you are stuck in a jail cell for life without parole.
However, the rumors about your cell are plentiful. Some of the inmates around you claim the last occupant was murdered by the warden and other people believe he escaped.
To construct this jailhouse experience, the team used 1,200 bricks, 450 pounds of steel, 523 used books, and two toilets from the Memphis State Penitentiary.

Mission: Mars (Difficulty 8/10)
After landing on Mars, you realize that your spacecraft Krios has experienced heavy damage. As if that weren’t bad enough, a potentially fatal amount of cosmic radiation is bearing down on you. If you want to survive or every see earth again, you have 60 minutes to repair your ship and launch!
It’s no easy feat to create an experience that transports you to a different planet! The Escape Game producers used 32,714 individual LEDs, 20 screens, and over four MILES of electrical wire constructing this game.
