Celebrating Our 2025 Golden Rung Winners

Three lucky families. Three surprise moments they’ll never forget.

Throughout 2025, three Golden Rungs were hidden in three lucky Funky Monkey Bars orders, turning everyday deliveries into something pretty extraordinary. For these winners, it wasn’t just about what was in the box, but the moment they realised they’d struck gold.

Here’s a closer look at their stories and frames:

The Tietjens Family, SA

Set: The Orangutan with Cargo Net

"We received our Funky Monkey Bar set on Thursday 29 Jan and finally had a chance to put it together yesterday. Dodging extreme heat and a 5th birthday. The swings are a delayed Christmas gift. My husband and dad set up the swing set while I was at my parents place with the kids. When my husband arrived at my parents to join us for dinner I jokingly said “was there a gold bar with the set”, he replied “yes”. No idea of the competition, he thought we’d been sent an extra piece we didn’t need!"

"Thank you so much! Greatly appreciated. The kids are enjoying the monkey bar set and I am sure they will for many more years to come! I felt terrible when I missed the Christmas cut-off. Luckily we were patient and the kids were none the wiser. Please pass on our biggest thank you to the team. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️"

The Hatten Family, NSW

Set: Cheeky Little Monkey with Banana Grips and Gym Rings

The Hatten Family shared a beautiful photo of their family enjoying their new frame, and expressed their sincere appreciation for the surprise. We’re so pleased the refund made a meaningful impact and that they are loving their Funky Monkey Bars.

The Bowditch Family, NSW

Set: The Original plus Soccer Net

Our final winners, the Bowditch Family, shared a lovely photo of their dog, Buster, “helping” with the discovery of the Golden Rung hidden in their new frame. They also expressed their sincere appreciation for the surprise.
