Mr. Bucket

Mr. Bucket

Mr. Bucket is a children's game published by Milton Bradley and released circa 1992 which was discontinued but re-released in 2011. The game featured a plastic, motorized bucket (Mr. Bucket) which spat out differently colored balls. Then the player used a plastic shovel to scoop up the balls and place them back inside Mr. Bucket.

Gameplay

Blue, green, yellow, and red plastic balls in the shape of a square are scattered around the floor like pins, and players each choose a shovel that corresponds to the ball color they will attempt to collect. Once Mr. Bucket is turned on, players scoop up the balls that match their shovel and drop them into the top of Mr. Bucket. While players are collecting, Mr. Bucket will spit the balls that have been placed inside him out of his mouth at regular intervals. The winner is the first player with all three of their balls in Mr. Bucket at the same time. [1]

Awards
