The rules, step by step

Setup
To set up Chicken Limbo, first assemble the limbo bar by connecting the two leg pieces to the base stands. Then, attach the horizontal bar, which features the electronic chicken figure, to the top of the leg pieces. Make sure the chicken has working batteries, as it will make sounds during gameplay. The bar can be adjusted to different heights for varying difficulty levels.
Objective
The objective of Chicken Limbo is to be the last player remaining in the game. Players achieve this by successfully limboing under the chicken bar without touching the bar, the chicken, or falling backward. The game is an elimination-style competition where players are removed if they fail to complete the limbo.
On your turn
Players take turns attempting to limbo under the chicken bar. Before each player's turn, the electronic chicken is activated by pressing a button, which may trigger sounds. Players must then pass under the bar, moving forward, without using their hands or knees to touch the ground, and without touching the bar or the chicken. If a player touches the bar or falls, they are eliminated.
Scoring
Chicken Limbo does not involve traditional scoring with points. Instead, it is a game of elimination. Players are either in or out of the game based on their ability to successfully limbo under the bar. The ultimate 'score' is simply being the sole survivor of the limbo challenge.
Game end
The game concludes when all but one player have been eliminated. The remaining player, who successfully limboed under the bar at its lowest setting or outlasted all other competitors, is declared the winner of Chicken Limbo.
Tips
For optimal play, ensure the chicken's electronic sounds are working, as they add to the game's festive atmosphere. While the game is designed for children, adults can participate by adjusting their technique, though the bar's fixed width might be challenging. Be aware that the game components, particularly the feet, are large and may not easily fit back into the original box for storage.
