New Trapper Keeper Game Lets You Relive the Glory Days of Adolescence

Eighties and '90s kids know that there was nothing cooler than carrying around a Trapper Keeper, a colorful binder that let you show off a bit of your personal style.

Turns out, Trapper Keepers still exist, but they're not as prevalent as they were a few decades ago. That could be about to change, though, as ACCO (the company that makes the Keepers) has partnered with board game publisher Big G Creative to bring the school supply back to a new generation of students—and their parents—in the form of a card game called, what else, the Trapper Keeper Game.

"The game challenges players to school the competition by collecting cards with the most points and stashing them in their Trapper Keeper® folders,” according to a press release. "Cards include homework, quizzes, parent signatures, report cards, detention slips, notes from classmates, and field trip slips. After the last bell card is played by the assigned Teacher’s Pet, the players tally up doodles and points to determine the winner.”

All of the game's components are stashed away in an authentic Trapper Keeper, which makes it a fun blast from the past for parents. "The game’s authentic Trapper Keeper® makes it a fun conversation piece, giving families the opportunity to share memories of their elementary and high school days," Shannon Swindle, Big G Creative's product and communications manager, said in a press statement.

The game, which takes just 25 minutes to complete, is designed for two to five players ages 8 and up and is available exclusively in Target stores nationwide. It’s available in three designs—rainbow unicorn, palm tree sunset, and psychedelic outer space—and includes 81 school paper cards, 11 bell cards, five mini Trapper Keeper folders, a teacher’s pet marker, score pad, and pencil.

For adults, it’s a great way to take a stroll down memory lane without having to relive the horrors that come with being a teenager.
