HAWKs has released two portable games that use wildlife themes to teach children about food chains, animal tracking and pattern recognition. Dinner Time and That’s Scat! are available now at hawkskids.com; the source says both are scheduled to launch on Amazon on Oct. 15, but does not specify the year.
HAWKs has released Dinner Time and That’s Scat!, two portable games built around wildlife and nature, according to The Toy Insider. The games are aimed at children ages 7 and older and 6 and older, respectively, and are intended to bring nature-themed play into family game nights and trips.
Dinner Time is a fast-paced card game about predator-prey relationships. Players discard cards to build food chains and race to identify a chain by slapping the table and calling “Dinnertime!” The player who is last to hold cards wins. HAWKs presents the game as a way for children to learn how animals are connected through food chains.
That’s Scat! has players draw tokens from a bag to match scat samples and identify animals. Players collect matching pairs, but drawing three or more matching tokens can require them to return tokens or risk other players taking them, according to the product description. The player with the most matching pairs at the end wins. The game is listed for ages 6 and up, with a suggested retail price of $19.99; Dinner Time is listed for ages 7 and up at $14.99.
Both games are described as portable and priced below $20. The Toy Insider reports that they are available now at hawkskids.com and are expected to launch on Amazon on Oct. 15. The report does not specify the year for that date. The Toy Insider also discloses that it participates in affiliate programs that may generate revenue from purchases made through its links.
Nature Lessons Built Into Game Night
The two releases give families a screen-free way to introduce animal relationships and wildlife tracking through short, competitive games. Dinner Time focuses on how predator and prey fit into a food chain, while That’s Scat! uses scat-themed tokens to prompt animal identification and pattern matching.
Those are the product’s stated learning aims, rather than independently measured educational outcomes. For buyers, the listed age guidance and prices provide practical details: the games are intended for different minimum ages, and both are priced under $20. Their portable format may also suit travel, though the source does not provide dimensions or other packing details.

HAWKs’ Play-Based Nature Focus
HAWKs, short for Hiking Adventures With Kids, was founded in Los Angeles by former retail executive Emma Flanders. The company says it aims to help children reconnect with nature and encourage curiosity through play. The new games translate that theme into activities designed for indoor use, rather than requiring players to be outdoors.
The Toy Insider describes the titles as options for game nights, camping trips and road trips. Its report lists separate age recommendations and retail prices for each game, and points readers to HAWKs’ website for current availability. It does not include independent reviews or testing of the games’ educational claims.

The learning benefits are described by HAWKs and the product information. The source provides no independent research on children’s learning outcomes, detailed rules beyond the summaries, or information about materials and safety testing. Buyers should check the product listings for current availability and age guidance.
Retail Listings and Availability
HAWKs lists both games as available through hawkskids.com. The next stated retail milestone is their planned Amazon launch on Oct. 15; the source does not give a year, and readers will need to check retailer listings for confirmation.
