Advantages: Lots of fun for all ages, can play on your own

Disadvantages: -

Screwball Scramble is a game made by Tomy that involves maneuvering a small metal ball through a complicated assault course while the timer ticks away.

I brought this game for my kids about six years, they can do it perfectly now! I would say it is suitable for ages 5 plus, or younger if an adult is around to make sure the child doesn't put the ball in their mouth! One great thing about this game is that you can play it on your own, and have just as much fun as if you were playing it with others, so really good for an only child.

The different parts of the course are:

- The wonky bridge. Using a button, you have to get the hang a tilting the bridge right so the ball can cross
- The ball then attaches itself to a magnetic crane which transports the ball to...
- The parallel bars. Using the lever, move the bars apart to roll the ball along
- The wobbly maze must then be controlled so the ball doesn't fall through the wrong gap
- The ball then falls down the ramp to the tyres. By hitting the button, the ball should hopefully jump from tyre to tyre
- The tube maze is next. You can't see where the ball is, but must guide it using the lever to the other side
- Then there is a little aeroplane crane which takes you to the final obstacle
- The ball falls into the catapult where you launch the ball to the bell.

If the ball falls at any point, you must start again from the beginning. You can also use the 60 second timer to race against yourself / your friends.

I would really recommend this game.

Summary: Great game, definatley one to try
