It's The Bomb....a fun one.

The folks at Patch told me Chrono Bomb, was a top-selling game in France, so they brought it over here. It's a super secret spy mission where kids use the included clamps and 27.5-ft. string to create a "laser" field to crawl through. (Yes, it's string, not a real laser which would be expensive and dangerous.) At the end of the maze is the bomb, counting down. Tick, tick, tick! So, you have to hurry, carefully, and make it to the end to defuse the bomb and be the hero! The sound effects were impossible to hear over the noise at the Time To Play Magazine event, but judging from the size of the speaker, my guess is that they will be on the softer side. Kids can play over and over again, by building new courses each time or trying to beat their friend's time! The game also comes with object cards that have pictures of flashlights, an earpiece, camera etc. So if you want to add complexity to the game, you can be require players to pick those up those “items” as they make their way through the laser field. As a reviewer said on Amazon: “.....you can put the cards in particularly tough spots to make sure nobody takes the easy path through the laser field.” The game includes a free app for more play value, but they told me the app doesn't connect to the actual game! Requires three AAA batteries, not included. For ages 7 and up. It's under $25.00 on Amazon which it got pretty good reviews from customers.

Here's a wild video of the game they were showing at the event, which is also on YouTube:
