Review on Educational Learning Games Buzzer With 5 Color Push Buttons - Great Tool For Activity Transitions And Game Show Zingers Attention Bell Answer Buzzers. by Terrance Palau

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Doesn't tell you who buzzed first - should NOT be advertised as for use in classroom gameshow

FALSE ADVERTISING: This is not what I was looking for - it's actually the opposite of what you would use a gameshow buzzer set for: the whole purpose of a game show buzzer set is to indicate who has buzzed first if two people/teams arrive at the answer at approximately the same time, but this set will actually tell you who the second person/group was to buzz because whatever button you press trumps the first. I was hoping that I could set up each button to play one of the longer songs and then we would hear the song (Jingle Bells or Happy Birthday) and know who answered first before any other tune would play. That's not how they work. If the Jingle Bells group buzzes a fraction of a second before the Happy Birthday group, all we will hear is Happy Birthday. We will never know that Jingle Bells buzzed first. In fact, you may never reach a conclusion because the two groups can just keep overriding each other to infinity. I'm super bummed. Why is it so hard to make a reasonably priced set of wireless gameshow buzzers? Ugh.If these were supposed to be designed for classroom use, then they should have made them with useful tunes, like "Clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere!" or something. These are literally just colorful doorbells. I'm annoyed that they are marketing to teachers without having really designed them for practical educational use.

Pros
