Last updated
Elefun is a children's game released by Hasbro in 1993. Players use nets to catch paper butterflies propelled through a plastic elephant's trunk by a motor. The game was republished twice between 2003 and 2009, and in August 2025 Goliath Games acquired worldwide manufacturing and distribution rights, planning a relaunch in Fall 2026.
Details
In Elefun, a motorized elephant launches nylon butterflies into the air. Children aged three to six use nets to catch them, or pick them up off the floor.
When the elephant stops, the player with the most butterflies gets a token. Catching the special blue butterfly also earns a token. The first to collect three tokens wins.
