Electronic Spin the Bottle Game by University Games

Betty White can fix a Spin the Bottle game like no other. Two weeks ago, she showed up at our door with Pierce Brosnan and a bedraggled Cher, her signature empty bottle at the ready. "Sit down, boys," she shouted, "And get ready to plant some big ones."George managed to beg off with a simple "Oh myyy." That never seems to work when I do it.And so we played. I'm unsure how Betty pulled it off, but no matter how I spun, it never pointed to Pierce. Nope. It always went to Betty, like some possessed green arrow. "Come here ya big teddy bear!" she'd say. "Who's ready for seven minutes in heaven?"Now, don't get me wrong. Betty's not a bad kisser, but come on. She knows my bread is buttered on the other side.Taking pity on me, George got me the "Electronic Spin The Bottle" game--something "to keep at the ready, in case of Betty" he said with a laugh. The next time she popped by for cocktails, this time with Liza Minnelli and Daniel Craig in tow, I brought out my new toy."But I already brought a bottle," Betty complained, waving that green fiend of hers."Don't get your Depends in a bunch," George chirped. "It's time to upgrade. What's the matter?" he asked, with a wink at Liza. "Afraid of a little girl-on-girl action?""I have an idea," Betty deflected, clapping happily on her jumpsuit. "Who's up for charades?"

Definitely cleaner than we used back in the day. Kids will never know the (un)entertainment experience of using a full bottle of ketchup on a white carpet. If learning to kiss is educational then this is.

It was the night before graduation. Me and the 15 people that I was about to graduate with were gathered in old Mr. Kipper's shed. We were all a little tipsy and a little bored when the class flirt shouted out, "We HAVE to play spin the bottle!" I wasn't too keen on the idea, knowing that cheating was all too easy for this game, and that cheating was this girl's specialty (as I learned from recent events involving her and my now ex-boyfriend). But it was at that moment that HE walked into the shed. Holding up the electronic spin the bottle device, in a deep, sultry voice he uttered, "Did someone say 'spin the bottle'?"As he set down the device and pressed the button to begin, the bottle spun, and everything went into slow motion. I became lost in the depth of his sea blue eyes, and wasn't released from the rapture of his gaze, until my best friend tugged on my arm and said, "It's you! It landed on you!" As that back-stabbing ex approached for his kiss, my life changed forever. I stabbed him in the back. I would have never been able to have my revenge if not for this wonderful game.

I've had this for a week now and have had the opportunity to play several times. Sadly, I can give it only three stars. Though the design is creative and adds exciting complexity to what was before a mediocre party game, the lack of a remote control is really a detriment. I've always said I would enjoy the game more if I didn't have to physically spin the bottle, and all the flashy lights and noises haven't changed this opinion. I would play this game so much more if I could sit on my couch and press a button on a remote to spin the bottle. If you're someone who isn't concerned about getting carpel tunnel from all the spinning, or spraining your back from leaning forward for the spin, then you'll probably enjoy this. I guess I'm just into less physically taxing games.

I have always asked myself, "How can we make spin the bottle an easier game?" and low and behold someone beat me to it! Thanks to your idea, my kids will never know the struggle of spinning the bottle themselves.
