The start of the month-long contest is timed to the retail release of Moose Games' highly anticipated kids game, Doo Doo Kangaroo. In this fun (and funny) new skill and action game, players spin a donut spinner to find out how many donuts they need to feed the kangaroo who, conveniently, is sitting on a toilet. When the kangaroo has had too many donuts, he'll shake and shimmy across the table, releasing donuts or doo doos out of the toilet. Players race to grab donuts as fast as they can, while dodging doo doos. The first to collect five donuts wins!
"While most kids might make their allowance taking their dog for a walk, feeding their fish or cleaning the litter box, Moose is raising the bar and offering one lucky youngster the opportunity of a lifetime: to help pick up kangaroo doo at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park for $5,000. Think of all the donuts you can buy with $5,000," said David Norman, president, Moose Games. "We couldn't think of a better, more humorous way to bring Doo Doo Kangaroo to market. Aside from driving obvious awareness to the hilarious gameplay, this initiative allows us to further the narrative surrounding kangaroo conservation and care, which, as an Australian company, is exceptionally meaningful."
The lucky contest winner will engage in the various daily tasks of a wildlife care specialist. They will learn about how a kangaroo's doo doo plays a role in conservation (and will help to clean it up). The winner will also observe other important "doo-ties" around the Safari Park, such as wildlife nutrition, record keeping and habitat maintenance. The KCC will see unparalleled wildlife care and conservation science in action, and learn firsthand San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance's global approach to saving wildlife, and supporting responsible collaboration to protect the environment.
To apply for the contest role, applicants ages 5 to 12 must submit a short video/essay introducing themselves and telling—or showing—why they would make the best KCC, and have their parents complete the application form on www.moosetoys.com/kangaroo-cleanup. Within their video/essay, kids can tell/show what they love about kangaroos, describe what they would do if they got to spend a day with a kangaroo care specialist (for example, learn about what kangaroos like to eat, or what their favorite job doo-ties are) or share what they want to learn about kangaroos. The following criteria are not required, but can be taken into consideration by all potential joeys:
- Will be hop-py to learn about kangaroo conservation, and how they can help
- Are comfortable with potty talk (giggling allowed), but won't use potty language
- Have a positive, "the more manure, the merrier" mindset.
