Back-to-school season means shopping for school supplies and nothing is more nostalgia-inducing than a Trapper Keeper. The colorful, coveted binder of your youth is back in game-form with the all new Trapper Keeper Game.

You’ll be transported back to your middle school classroom when you play the Trapper Keeper Game with your kids. It challenges players to collect cards and stash them in a binder to earn points. Each card features a different motif like homework, quizzes, parent signatures, report cards, detention slips, notes from classmates and field trip slips.

“Our new Trapper Keeper Game has a retro feel that will appeal to adults who grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s,” said Shannon Swindle, Product and Communications Manager, Big G Creative. “The game’s authentic Trapper Keeper makes it a fun conversation piece, giving families the opportunity to share memories of their elementary and high school days.”

The game itself comes packaged in a box designed to look like one of three vintage Trapper Keeper replicas, including rainbow unicorn, palm tree sunset and psychedelic outer space. It’s recommended for players ages eight and up. The Trapper Keeper Game is available exclusively at Target stores nationwide for $16.99.
