The game works by having players scrunch up different pieces of paper and stand in set spots in the room. Once the garbage can is activated, players must try to get as many pieces of paper into the can as they can before the time runs out.

When in operation, the Gomipakkun Wild Trash Can Game will move in [randomized formations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-4-frenzy) to confuse players and thus increase the agility and motor skills of players.

The game is designed for [up to three players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-game-collection) and comes with everything except batteries to start playing.
