Remembering a name...

[Glamorgan]

Okay guys, sorry to bother you all, but I need some help

I need to remember the name of a toy. It is one of those gimmicky skill testers, with a long loopy wire, and a loop of metal. You would hold the metal loop, and try and move it from one end to the other, without touching the wire. If you touched the wire, it would make a loud noise.

Does anyone remember the name of this thing? I really need to remember it, but I haven't got a clue.

Thanks heaps in advance.

Shit game that makes me rage.

Sounds sort of something like Operation... Sorry man, I couldn't tell you.

...while we are here, anyone remember the name of that super soaker that used ice to make it freaking ice water? Last time I was in a watergun war someone got me down the neck and straight down the back with it. It was awesome! I want one but I don't know the name :/

I know what game you mean, but I have no idea what it's called in English. In Dutch it's "spiraalspel", but a straight up translation to English get's nothing on google. Sorry.

Edit:

that's what you mean right?

This is all I've found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_loop_game

And all this time I thought the game had a proper name...

You mean like this?

I've heard a lot of different names for them (the one pictured is called Buzzwire) but because there are so many different variations I think the generic term is (the incredibly inventive) 'Wire Loop Game'. Certainly if you Google 'Wire Loop Game' you'll get bombarded with tons of different variations.

In Dutch it's "spiraalspel",

And I now have a name for my firstborn child.

OT: Wire Loop Game seems to be the go.

Send me proof of that and I'll get the kid one of those games for an appropriate birthday.

Yeah, that's it. Any one know the name?

It might be a few years before the kid is born (but he/she shall be born, if for no other purpose than to be named Spiraalspel), so I expect you to remember.

I'll remember to get the gift if you remember to send me a copy of the birth certificate.
