In Hold On Erik!, Young Erik from Happy Feet Two sits atop a towering wall of ice, and it's your job to delicately poke out frozen blocks one by one—using a fish, of course. On each turn, players use the little fish pushers to prod a block loose from the icy wall. The tension builds with every successful move...until someone sends poor Erik toppling into the cold. This chilly challenge is quick to learn, fun to play, and adorable in execution—until things collapse. Knockout, Hold On Scooby-Doo!, Happy Feet Two: Hold on Erik, and Spider-Man: Spider Sense are all about removing bricks without toppling the structure—but each adds its own flavor. While the Hold On trio features perched characters and plastic frameworks, Knockout trades in cartoon mascots for pure demolition thrills with its unique battery-powered jackhammer and iconic Knockout brick that could spell your doom. Same tension. More vibration.
