Don't Wake Daddy

Don't Wake Daddy is a children's board game for two to four players in which each player is a child creeping through a dark house toward the refrigerator for a midnight snack while the father sleeps in a large bed at the centre of the board. Players move by spinning a spinner and advancing to the matching colour, and certain squares make a noise that the player must pay for by pressing a button on an alarm clock beside the father a set number of times; if the clock goes off, the father jerks upright and sends the players back to start after they surrender colour cards. The first player to reach the finish line wins the snack. Parker Brothers introduced the game at the 1992 American International Toy Fair, and it became one of the best-selling games of that Christmas season. It was sold in Europe by Tomy as a separate release and in the United Kingdom under the title SSHH! Don't Wake Dad!
