Who remembers the game Mousetrap?
 

If you remember the old game Mousetrap, you may get a kick out of this full scale version. (work safe)

I was thinking it about just the other day since a Rube Goldberg mousetrap was the theme of the Sunday NYT crossword puzzle.

This is cool!

Is there a real guy diving into the barrel?

I had Perfection! No child's "game" should do anything even close to inducing a panic attack. I realized, at some point, though, that if you pushed down on the board, it couldn't pop up when the timer went off.

Unfortunately, the same didn't work with those speed multiplication "tests" that they gave us in elementary school (which reminded me a lot of Perfection).

But, um, Mousetrap. Yeah I remember that.

I think I will need to pay a visit. San Mateo is a hop/skip/jump from my office.

If I can arrange it, I will go and I will bring my camera and take pictures, up close and detailed if allowed.

I loved Moustrap and this is just too cool! :cool:

That's awesome, but I'm disappointed by the grand finale foregoing the cage, and instead going with the generic-cartoon themed falling safe.

Bah, you could have created any kind of Rube Goldberg contraption if you want Acme cartoon effect. But why go to all the trouble of faithfully recreating Mouse Trap ... only to leave out the mouse trap??

Maybe because that cage didn't make it all the way down most of the time in the original?

oh Perfection.... definetely a game that could give a 7 year old a heart attack... I loved it...

I had a mouse trap game, then it became like some futuristic battleground for my G.I. Joe's...

I always wanted a Mousetrap game. I had a friend who had one, but we could never set it up correctly. When I was a little kid I used to have to go to physical therapy and one of the games they used to encourage my hand-eye coordination was Perfection. I love that game!
