Indiana Jones Booby Trap Lab – Spiders

Got something secret in there, do ya?

Guard it with a devilishly intricate system of booby traps.  This set’s all you need to send a flurry of spiders tumbling down on bedroom trespassers…

Ever wondered how the Crystal Skull stayed lost for so long?  It probably had one of these booby-trap systems rigged up to protect it.  Follow the instructions and your bedroom will be equally guarded from burglars, snoopers, and well-intentioned parents.  Home alone?  Forget tin cans on strings – this spider and snake kit is ready for some serious scaring.

So how does it work?  An intruder pushes open your door.  First, there’s a soft whisper in the air – then the horrible sensation of a hundred legs running down the intruder’s spine.  That’s the shower of spiders, dropped by an eerily ancient-looking Mayan idol from the top of your door.  The intruder stumbles forward, scratching to get the plastic bugs out of his hair and clothing – but he didn’t bargain for the next horror.  Swish!  A realistic snake slithers powerfully towards the enemy, frightening him off for good.

A Note for Mums, Dads, and Well-meaning Relatives: This clever set doesn’t need batteries – it operates on balance and wit, making this a great gift for kids aged 8+ (if you don’t mind avoiding their bedroom from now on).  Rigged on a system of counterweights, springs, and pulleys, this set introduces kids to the very important science of protection.  It will inspire them to add a few tricks of their own – just watch your step when you go to collect the laundry!
