Fun Zoo is a kind of reflex/maneuvering/race game that takes place in a Zoo.

The Overlay is very colorful and contains 28 different destinations within a Zoo, to which the Players may maneuver their Player Spots. These destinations are determined by a pack of cards which are drawn and read by the Zoo Keeper. They consist mostly of animals but also contain concession creatures, such as the elusive Popcorn and the mighty Hot Dog.

The Zoo Keeper draws the card and says the name of the creature out loud. The two players must then maneuver their spots though the yellow area (the "paths") without "lighting" any other animal cages on the way. The first to "light" the correct cage with their player spot, wins that card. If either player lights the wrong cage they lose a card.
