There’s nothing quite as nerve-wracking as playing pass the parcel with a time-bomb or quite as much fun. Shockball is basically catch for the brave and the hard. This red metal-studded ball contains a hidden wickedness – that is rather given away by the name. Turn it on and then start throwing it to one another and at some random point in the all too near future the person catching it will get zapped. You never know when it’s going to ‘go live’ so it turns catch on its head – instead of worrying whether or not you can catch the ball now you’ll worry about what will happen if you catch the ball. This rubber-coated land mine has been the cause of lots of shrieks in the office – though oddly they seem to come before the person’s even caught the thing. There’s nothing like a bit of anticipatory fear to spice up a game! Features: A rubber coated ‘throw and catch’ ball with a twist 18 conductive metal pads to shock you by surprise. An internal timer that randomly decides to time-out and shock whoever is holding the ball at that point. An on/off switch so if you want a break from the shocks you can just play regular catch. Colours may vary. Suitable for ages 14 years+. Requires 2 x AAA Batteries (not included). Size: 7 x 7 x 7cm. This item emits Electric Shocks. Do not use if you have a pacemaker. Keep away from pets.
Price : £ 12.99

When the beeping stops, the screaming starts! Welcome to shocking roulette.�
Roulette and electric shocks�have now been thrown together to form one phenomenally enjoyable and frightening game. Shocking Roulette is exactly that. Shocking and, er, roulette.
Up to four punters insert a fingertip into one of the sleek electric chambers and then somebody presses the start button. This sets into motion a countdown sequence of beeps and lights that realistically imitate the sound of the ball on a traditional roulette wheel as it bounces towards its final resting place.
When the countdown stops, this malicious little plaything randomly delivers a full-on electric shock to one unlucky player. Well, it’s more of a jolt really, but it’s certainly enough to grab your attention.
At only 14cm wide and 6cm high, Shocking Roulette is small enough to take down the pub or to a party.
- A cross between Roulette and the Electric Chair
- 4 players and 1 shock each game
- greatest method ever invented for deciding whose round it is
