Keycraft The Magical Amazing Robot Game

Product Information

I do, from my nines or tens, perhaps a little earlier. I think I first played it at my Auntie Kate’s with my girl cousins Lindsey, Judy, Alison and Sue. It was made by Merit games and it fascinated me - it must have for me to have happily played with all those girls. I don’t remember exactly when I got my own Magic Robot but it has to have been some time in the sixties, so mine was a very early version. It probably had questions about the Empire, steam locomotion, and ‘old money’–‘What percentage of the globe is coloured pink?’–‘Which is the faster train: The Flying Scotsman or The Mallard?’–‘How many shillings are there in a guinea?’… Perhaps that's the real magic of the Magic Robot: it took a rather rubbish, jumble sale-worthy game and transformed it into an exercise in creativity and hilarity. Our inner comedians were unleashed, and soon we were weaving tall tales and sharing anecdotes far more entertaining than the game itself. I remember placing the silvery grey plastic Magic Robot in the tray in the centre of the 'Questions' section – then turning the Magic Robot by his head until his pointer was pointing at the question I wanted answered. It was a sort of an early trivial pursuit for kids with eight sets of fourteen questions. I must have learnt all the answers within a week or so – can’t really remember what they were now though.

Wow! How Magical is that? It was incredibly magical to me at the time and I spent hours trying to get the robot to answer a question incorrectly – he never did of course, he was 100% right all of the time. But, even though I found this slightly annoying, I must say that never at any time was I tempted to give the Magic Robot the finger, make odd gestures with my hands whilst thrusting out my front teeth, or put on a blonde wig and dress in a gym slip – well maybe this last one just a little. Were we really like that? I don’t remember wearing school uniform ALL of the time. I bet the older boy grew up to be a second hand car dealer, the girl married an ex-RAF pilot who bought a country pub - then proceeded to drink all of the profits, and the younger lad - the cheeky one with the dubious hand signals - became Julian Clarey.

I remember spending countless rainy afternoons playing the game with my sister, watching the robot fail miserably with every spin. It wasn't long before our game took on a more irreverent tone, as we'd make up our own ridiculous answers to the questions. Who knew that the capital of France was actually "Bognor Regis"? Or that the first man on the moon was none other than my Uncle Geoff? Once let loose in the world, robots take over. The game appeared all over all Europe, translated in local languages and with the robot assuming the local name and image. With so many great robot games available on the market, there's never been a better time to introduce your child to this exciting and growing field. FAQs Speaking of which I once played a game of Trivial Pursuit and lost horribly only to find that my opponent had lied about every single answer (apart from the obvious ones because that would have given the game away). That still wrankles to this day... I'm not sure why... but at least our Magic Robot was incompetent not a dirty rotten liar!Firstly, place the Amazing Robot in the tray in the centre of the Questions so that the 'V' projection on the base on the Robot fits into the 'V' cut-out of the tray. Explore the robot's capabilities: Once children have created a program for Dash, they can test it out and see how the robot responds. They can also experiment with different commands and sequences to discover new ways to control the robot. Of course the mystery has been destroyed by the internet… it tells me that it was all done by magnets. The Magic robot wasn’t magic at all - just a single magnet in the plastic robot and two magnets in the cardboard board. The question area simply set the correct offset on the robot's magnet, and then the robot was allowed to freely rotate in the answer area until the magnets aligned - thus giving the right answer.
