The Campbell’s x Goldfish Games have been created for families to help them transform mealtime into a pastime this winter by highlighting two signature products: soup and crackers. The analog-inspired games come in two styles that includes Fish in a Row and Soup Splashers, which will each see Goldfish Crackers used as the game tokens over a bowl of Campbell's Tomato Soup. The games each end with the crackers being dropped into the soup to allow for an edible gameplay experience.
The Campbell’s x Goldfish Games are being offered online as part of a limited-time drop that sees each one priced at $19.99. The games each come with their respective equipment alongside a can of Campbell's Tomato Soup and Goldfish Cheddar Crackers, while the Fish in a Row comes with a pack of Goldfish Original crackers as well.
