Epic Win: Don’t Wake Daddy!


Submitted by Roxy

The point of the game was to sneak to the refrigerator in the middle of the night. It played like a cross between Chutes and Ladders and hot potato, more of a novelty for the plastic Dad that would spring up if you pushed the alarm clock enough times.

Still, I always wondered why Daddy would be so angry if the kids got a midnight snack. Maybe the fridge was full of booze.

  1. Stick says:

    Never liked this one.

  2. Mona says:

    My niece had this game. She dearly loved playing it. The adults HATED it with a passion. Thank God she outgrew it fast!

  3. Meg-Meg says:

    Never played it. The English version is ‘Don’t wake Dad’ I remember the advert “Don’t wake Dad – it’s mad!”

  4. hee hee says:

    Never played the game myself, but I played the live-action version of it at home with the bathroom instead of the fridge. I don’t know EXACTLY why the dad in the game was upset, except that my dad was that upset if we woke him too. Dad was a VERY light sleeper and he slept in the bedroom that had the bed with the headboard on one side of the wall and the bathroom on the other. DON’T WAKE DADDY!!!

  5. Sassy says:

    Not gonna lie i loved this game and I remember my dad hated it, who can blame him i made him play it every day

  6. PH says:

    Ah yes… Good times Good times

  7. phillip mcrevice says:

    Hahahah i never understood why the fridge would be in the bedroom however. XD i played this at my friends house when i was younger and thought it was the most ridiculous game ever. Why is daddy so pissed if u open the fridge? lol does he have like a huge stash of Old English in there? Mayne daddy is just a little middle aged ghetto pimp who keeps his O.E super cold. lol

  8. KatieM says:

    I LOVED this game. it was one of my all time favorites right next to hungry hungry hippos.

  9. thatquietkid says:

    OH MY GOD I love Don’t Wake Daddy! When I saw the post, I popped up in my seat so hard my hat flew from my head!

  10. Hime Takamura says:

    my sister and I played the real version. the one where dad would smack you when you woke him up. XD

  11. Jessica says:

    A few years ago, my niece who is now 9 found this game in my basement and wanted to try it and she loved it! Every time she comes over she asks to play it.

  12. jjmblue7 says:

    I never found this game relatable. Maybe because my parents could easily sleep through a giant meteor crash landing in our yard.

  13. armanrules says:

    Oh good god…
    I bought this game at a salvation army a year ago and know it’s sitting in my attic

  14. Chris says:

    What about Don’t wake the Dragon? That’s the one I had… I think it came out earlier than Don’t Wake Daddy too.

  15. jsuth says:

    creepiest game ever made

  16. Anyhonu says:

    He slept with his eyes open, which is creepy all by itself.

  17. lea says:

    lol i played the real life version of this game every day of my life… my dad worked nights
