The main cover art appears inside the orange rectangles on the outer edges of the top label. The primary element is the game title (at an angle upward to the right) along a wooden fence (orange with black outlines and striations): "THE NEW GAME OF" (in black with a golden shadow) above "JUMPERS" (three-dimensional-looking letters with a golden main color, black outlines, light blue left shadows, and white upper cap. Each letter is connected to the middle wooden slat of the fence via short black lines.

Above the fence, a pixie is riding an unidentifiable orange animal (both in orange and light blue, with black outlines) jumping over it. Another pixie and light blue animal is jumping above the "RS" in "JUMPERS". A third pixie and light blue animal is jumping up below the "P" in "JUMPERS". A fourth pixe and orange animal is emerging from the lower right within the main cover art area. Above the fence is a light blue sky and many small white clouds. Behind and below the fence is a field of orange with golden and black highlights.

At bottom, on a thinner orange rectangle: "Published by THE REASON MANUFACTURING CO. LD".

At lower right, the orange rectangles along the edges are cut short by a circle quadrant, with an outer black outline, then light blue border, then black outline, then white border, then black outline, the dull golden border, then black outline, then a wide light blue quadrant curve with 17 golden dots around the quadrant's circumference. Further designs ensue into the corner where the aforementioned lower right black and blue square appears.

The game comes with 4 colored wooden sticks (6 1/2" length, 15/16" maximum width) , called clubs that are used to strike and propel the Jumpers. These clubs comes to a point at one end, and are rounded at the other. They come in red, dark blue, yellow, and dark green.

A Jumper is played by striking a club on it, causing it to jump into the air over target obstacles. Each of the 4 colored wooden Jumpers (1 3/8" in length, 3/8" maximum width) have 4 sides in its center, and are rounded to a point (like a pencil) on both ends. The Jumpers come in red, dark blue, yellow, and dark green.

Two trifold cardboard Fence obstacles (6 1/8" wide on long side, 3 7/8" tall maximum on that side, 1 5/8" each on the left and right fold-out sides that permit the Fence to stand up, and 4 7/8" tall maximum on those sides) come with the game. These Fences are light and dark green, akin to camouflage, on both sides.

The one bifold Water Jump obstacle (10" long unfolded, 5 7/8" wide), printed on one side, depicts a stream (in light blue with white) between two shorelines filled with various green plants.
