Elefun

Elefun is a children's game from Hasbro. The object of the game is to use your net to catch as many butterflies as possible as they fly from a plastic elephant's metre (3.28')-long trunk, a plastic chute through which the paper butterflies travel, propelled up by a motor in the elephant, called Elefun for short. It was released in 1993. It was made again in 2003 and made once again in 2009, as well as a spin-off as the "Elefun Busy Ball Popper" in 2011. A golden butterfly was added to the game in 2012. Also it released a female version called Belefun.

The game is currently marketed under the "Elefun and Friends" banner, with Hungry Hungry Hippos, Mouse Trap and Gator Golf.
