I love this! Now that's how you spend Halloween! (If you look at enough of the Flickr photos, you get to some not-so-safe-for-work content :D)

I'd like to see a life-size Run Yourself Ragged. I adored this thing, and my mom still has it!

I think someone around here has a Mousetrap tag line in his Signature?

I loved that game, I had two different versions of the game. A great childhood toy.

If you want a real size version of that, a close approximation would be the Noah's Ark attraction at Kennywood in Pennsylvania.

Here's a fun 'Run Yourself Ragged' video on YouTube.

That's the one. Boy, that guy sucks. What a cheater. I can still do the whole thing without cheating. It's comforting to see that his is also missing the hoop (after the donut looking part and before the maze part). I lost mine too.

There's one on ebay for $24 if you want to practice!

I hated mouse trap with a passion. We never could get it to work right so basically it was like a wasted afternoon.

You spent a whole hour going through the game building this device which then never trapped your opponent. meaning that you just kept playing until someone gave up in disgust usually destroying the game in the process.
which of course, had the added disadvantage of making it even harder to build the stupid thing next time.

I know what you mean

They now sell 'Run Yourself Ragged' as 'Screwball Scramble'
