Far Out Toys is preparing for the release of an all-new slime game called Snot Nose that challenges kids to "choose wisely or get snotted." The game includes a wearable pair of glasses with an oversized nose and packs for making a DIY slime creation that's loaded into the nose—and inevitably released upon the player that picks the wrong piece of snot.
Like a variety of games, Snot Nose has players take turns interacting with game pieces, in this case by pulling out strings of snot from the game's nose. The game created for kids ages five and up taps into the demand for gross-out games and toys, as well as the immense popularity of slime.
