Tomy Screwball Scramble Game
Determination, agile fingers, and an alert mind are required for Screwball Scramble, a cleverly designed tabletop obstacle course game. The object of the game is to move a small steel ball through eight hurdles as quickly as possible by hitting, pushing, and turning buttons or pulling and twirling levers. The orange, brown, and beige obstacles sit compactly on a blue plastic unit 30 cm long, 25 cm wide, and 15 cm tall at its highest, and the controls feature clear pictorial instructions. The game does not require batteries, and assembly time is limited to the few seconds it takes to slot a timer and loop onto the unit. The noisy one-minute timer is designed to increase the pressure as each second ticks away. The player has to direct the ball along a tilting three-part walkway, use the magnet on a lever to turn the ball in a semicircle, manoeuvre the ball down two steel parallel bars, and lead it to the correct exit on a wobbly plastic board; they must then slide the ball into a small hole and bounce it into three further openings, propel the ball through a loop, guide it through a covered maze, carry it on a small plastic arm into a hole, before catapulting it accurately to ring a bell. The obstacles vary in difficulty, but players – with practice – will become adept at handling each of the hurdles. The real knack is to complete the circuit in one attempt, which requires good concentration and coordination. Screwball Scramble can be played competitively or alone, and is challenging either way. This sturdy game will provide hours of entertainment and will be a firm favourite in any household.

Screwball Scramble is a fantastic toy for kids old enough to not eat the ball bearing. It requires no batteries and allows kids to practice their dexterity and problem solving. Great 1 player toy that shares well with friends and siblings. I want more!

Our grandkids range from 4 to 7 years old and they all love this game. I think it can be fun for older players as well. Play with or without the timer, alone or with others. I like that it is something different from your regular board game. I love that it DOES NOT REQUIRE BATTERIES. We had a small problem with the unit, but Tomy Customer Service was awesome. I feel it is a good value for the price I paid.

Bought this for 6 children age range 5-7. They all love it but not as much as their parents who all played it when they were children. A true blast from the past! Lol
I loved this game when I was young and now my kids love it. Great game, can be played solo. Help with fine motor skills and I recently found out that there is Screwball Scarmble 2 that can be added to make the game longer
My sons enjoyed this game when they were young, now purchased one for the grandchildren. Had fun and kept them entertained for ages helps with coordination and dexterity. Definitely a winner with a six year old.
I'm a big fan of this game and I like the previous version (blue tray) more. This green one seems to have more friction which make it less flow. I ordered 4 set. One set mistakenly installed at the last station. Another set has problem with the handler of the 4th station.
Excellent purchase. Just what someone was looking for. Great present. Brought back some memories from the old days. Thanks
Great quality and durable for when your little one inevitably throws a wobbly my son lives this and it captures his attentions far longer than the majority of his other toys. Another great thing is it good practise for his development snd gross motor skills great product cant recommend it enough! Easy set up no tools etc required.
The kids, and adults, love this maze game. It arrived quickly and in good shape. I am replacing one that we had for over 20 years because everyone missed having it around.
