OVERVIEW

This is a classic and if you loved board games and other games like operation then you would love this game. Basically you have a maze and with lots of hurdles in which you have to get through using only a small metal pinball.

The worst thing about it is that you are under pressure due to the fact you have a clock which is ticking down and if you don't complete the course in the allotted time then you lose!

The game Screwball Scramble can also be called other names such The Maze Game Thats Runs You Ragged. You can actually still buy this game which is available in places such as Argos and many online shops.

WHAT BUTTONS TO PRESS

During the game you must push lots of buttons and levers for different sections of the course. If you are easily frustrated then you do end up flipping the buttons harder and the ball goes higher.

WHAT SKILLS ARE REQUIRED?

To play this game and be successful you will require good co-ordination and also bags of nerves.

HARDEST PART OF THE COURSE

I found that one of the hardest sections to complete on this course was the section where you had to flick the pinball through a hoop and then land it onto the next section.

EASIEST PART OF THE COURSE

Basically there are none, so good luck!

PRICE

You can buy this game for around £10 which is a bargain and can guarantee that you and your children will get your moneys worth out of the board game.

IS IT NOISY?

The only thing that tends to be noisy is the timer which has a loud clicking noise and rings a bell once the time is up. In my opinion the timer is a great addition to the game and because it is noisy it really does put you under pressure as you hear it ticking down.

INSTRUCTIONS

The game instructions do come with clear pictures which show you how to play the game and what buttons to press during gameplay.

CONCLUSION

This is one board game that can be played by generations of you family and from experience this game has been passed down from family member to family member and will continue to do so until it no longer works.

The game is addictive and really helps develop your children's concentration and co-ordination skills as well as your own. If you are looking for a cheap and addictive game then I truly recommend this product.

MY RATING: 5/5

Summary: A great board game for the family and will provide hours of fun!
