Carrying on through my kid's games cupboard I have come across this great game. Screwball Scramble is a game of skill and determination as you race around the board trying to get to the end before the clock ends (1 minute) So on the board we have to insert the timer as the board cannot be put away with this standing upright. There are no batteries required which is another plus. We have two silver steel balls but you only need to use one. You need to navigate the ball around the course. There are seven controls on one side of the box which have a picture on the front of them to tell you what they are for. We start with the tilting bridge which you ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this game for my daughter last christmas as she has just turned four in december and she was starting to show an interest in her older cousins games. I hadn't realised at the time that screwball scramble was suitable for ages 5 and up and when I realised this I was tempted to return it to the store but opted against it when I remembered playing this as a child and it didn't seem that hard. Screwball scramble is a mazed game where you have to race around the 3-d maze quickly and complete the different obstacles before the time runs out. Skill, patience and determination is needed as some of the obstacles can be rather tricky and they can take a few ...  Read the complete review

On my daughter's 5th birthday she got many toys and games, but one that seems to have really grabbed her attention (and mine too!) is Screwball Scramble which is made by Tomy.

The maze is made out of plastic and has a series of different obstacles to get the ball over, across and through. These require lots of skill of varying dexterity. In order to manipulate these there are a number of yellow buttons, dials ...  Read the complete review

I am reviewing a number of children's at present due to the high number that my son has received for Christmas. One game he received which I was personally thrilled with was Screwball Scramble. My joy at this game was because I can remember owning this myself as a child and used to love it. My only hope was that the manufacturers hadn't interfered with the game and had left the original well alone - and they had! The object of the game is quite simple. You have a plastic game board which features an obstacles course. You have a small magnetic ball and you have to get the ball from one side of the course to the other without touching the ball at all. ...  Read the complete review
