This Lightning Reaction Game Will Keep You Alert Or Buzzed
As a kid, I always loved to play fast reaction games. One of the games I particularly enjoyed involved 2 people, on opposite sides of the playfield, a ball, and a bunch of us sitting in the middle. We were the ducks and they were the hunters. And our goal was to not get hit. The adrenaline rushed through our veins, especially when one of your teammates would get hit. And when there was only one man standing, the game would get really fast and your fast reaction determined your fate.
The same principle applies to this lighting reaction game. Your speed conditions the outcome.
What The “Buzz” Is All About
The game looks more like a turned over cup with 4 handles and the additional cables, one for each player. It provides an electrical shock of low, medium or high voltage, based on what mode you set the game to.
The game can be played based on 3 scenarios: you can either send a jolt to the quickest person or you can shock the latest person to react. Or, you can personally decide who should get the shock and who shouldn’t. Better not play this with your enemies or you will get zapped all the time!
Special Features
The number of players doesn’t have to be 4 as the device can function just fine with only 2. If you don’t know what to buy for your partner’s birthday, well, I would say this is a cool gift idea. And jolt him for all the times he made you mad. No, I’m kidding. Or not. You decide.
As previously mentioned, the shock levels can be set to low, medium or high, depending on who you play this game with, but also how much someone can take.
Things You Need To Consider
This lighting reaction game will definitely bring a spark and laughter to your friend’s gatherings, as waiting for someone to get jolted is scary and fun. Plus, when the wave hits him or her, their reaction is often priceless. So, you can laugh your way through hard days!
The toy needs 3 AAA batteries, which are not included in the package. At the same time, please be aware that this games has been made for, and is intended to be used only by people over the age of 14. Therefore, do not leave this somewhere your child can get to.
Pros:

Final Thoughts
In conclusion, this lighting reaction game is definitely a device you could bring in next time you meet your friends. It’s rather small and compact, therefore it’s easy to carry around. Plus, this toy could replace your boring wine and board games nights and something more fun and shocking. Jolt your friends and see how they react.
