Review on ๐ŸŽฏ Franklin Sports Whirl Ball Arcade Game by Kevin Baker

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Runs about 20 minutes - Not worth the price

Bought because we couldn't get the 'old fashioned' non-electronic version. I like the idea of a timer and a scorer, but the device is weak. Some assembly is required and that's fine except you might break the flimsy hardware. We collect everything we buy very carefully, so it hasn't been handled roughly. We used it at a Christmas party and kept tabs on usage to avoid overly rough play. Sensors for each hole (through which the scoring ball falls) stopped working in sequence after two players played a 30-second game. The balls stayed on top of the sensors, so someone had to stand next to the device and manually push the balls through the holes. You can imagine how annoying it was when you were playing a competitive game! To be fair, the sensors work sporadically, so it's not an every throw event. However, the product is NOT worth the price.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • I'll add later
