Life-sized Mouse Trap

[photo: Life-sized Mouse Trap]

Some of you may be too young for this, but there used to be a board game called Mouse Trap where you essentially built a Rube Goldberg version of a mouse trap. If you’ve ever seen Back to the Future or Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, you’ve seen a Rube Goldberg machine.

I don’t remember ever playing the game (although I’m sure I did), I just loved setting it up and watching the chain reaction unfold.

Apparently, though, I didn’t love it as much as whoever built this life-sized version of the game that will be officially unveiled next month at Maker Faire.
