HAWKs has released two portable games built around wildlife themes: the food-chain card game Dinner Time and the token-collecting game That’s Scat!. The products are listed at $14.99 and $19.99, respectively, and are available from hawkskids.com; the source says an Amazon launch is scheduled for Oct. 15, though it does not specify the year.
HAWKs has released two wildlife-themed games for children and families: Dinner Time, a card game about predator-prey relationships, and That’s Scat!, a token-collecting game about animal signs and pattern matching. The games cost $14.99 and $19.99, respectively, and are available through the company’s website, giving families options for bringing nature-focused play indoors or on trips.
In Dinner Time, players discard cards to build food chains by identifying which animals are predators and which are prey. When a player spots a chain, they slap the table and call “Dinnertime!” before taking the pile. The last player still holding cards wins, according to the product description supplied by HAWKs and published by The Toy Insider. The game is listed for ages 7 and up at a suggested retail price of $14.99.
That’s Scat! has players draw tokens in search of matching pairs, with the tokens representing scat samples that help identify animals. Players aim to collect pairs, but drawing three or more matching tokens can require putting the extras back in the bag, where other players may be able to take them. The player with the most matching pairs at the end wins. HAWKs lists the game for ages 6 and up with a suggested retail price of $19.99.
The company describes both games as portable, with camping and road trips among the suggested settings. HAWKs says both are available now at hawkskids.com and are expected to launch on Amazon on Oct. 15. The source material does not state the year for that date, so the timing of the Amazon listing cannot be pinned down from the announcement alone.
Wildlife Themes Move to Game Night
The games bring animal-related ideas into short, interactive activities rather than relying on outdoor observation alone. Dinner Time centers on how animals relate through food chains, while That’s Scat! uses matching and decision-making around animal signs. Those are the learning aims described by HAWKs; the source does not provide independent evidence measuring what players learn.
For families, the practical appeal is a pair of compact games with different play mechanics and price points, marketed for home use as well as travel. The age recommendations also distinguish the products: ages 7+ for the card game and ages 6+ for the token game. Their release adds another way to engage children with wildlife themes when a hike or outdoor activity is not part of the plan.

HAWKs’ Play-Based Nature Mission
HAWKs stands for Hiking Adventures With Kids. The Toy Insider’s report says the company was founded in Los Angeles by former retail executive Emma Flanders and aims to encourage children to reconnect with nature and build curiosity through play. The two new products carry that stated focus into tabletop games, rather than requiring players to be on a trail.
The report presents Dinner Time and That’s Scat! as separate games with different subject matter and rules. One asks players to recognize food-chain links under time pressure; the other emphasizes collecting matching tokens and deciding when to stop drawing. The products are described as costing less than $20 each, but the source does not provide details about their components, play duration, number of players, or distribution beyond HAWKs’ website and the planned Amazon listing.
“The game teaches kids about the importance of the food chain and how every part of it plays a vital role in our shared ecosystem.”

Amazon Date and Game Details
The available source does not specify the year for the stated Oct. 15 Amazon launch, and it does not confirm whether that listing has since gone live.

The listed age ranges and prices are product information attributed to HAWKs in The Toy Insider’s report.
Retail Listings and Availability
HAWKs says the games can be purchased now through hawkskids.com and lists an Amazon launch for Oct. 15.
