Customer Reviews

Fun office toyStarted to collect office toys lately and remembered this product from a co-worker's desk from a few years back. I couldn't remember the name of it until recently when I saw it in a toy shop and decided to pick it up.The Ball of Whacks is a good size. It fits right in the palm of an average sized hand. I do think that the magnets holding the ball together could be slightly stronger as the ball has, on many occasions, spontaneously exploded into many pieces by giving it too hard of a squeeze.This ball was supposed to increase my creative juices... has it? Nope. But that wasn't what I was looking for, so that selling point was moot anyway. What I do find is that it's fun, and simple, and offers up a nice distraction for guests at my desk. Sitting at my desk, just pulling one piece and letting it get "absorbed" back into the ball with the accompanying "shuck-shuck" sound is oddly soothing... 4Keep lookingNevermind the complete gibberish about the metaphorical and other symbolic, teambuilding aspects this gimmick is meant to represent. I bought this product to mess around with while on calls at work. For that purpose, it's fun enough. After a couple weeks you've made every iteration possible and you realize how much money you paid for some (not so versatile) plastic and a few weak magnets. 3Little pricey but fun to play withI have this on my desk at work and everyone enjoys playing with it. It's funny watching people play with it and finding that if you squeeze it just right it'll 'explode' (fall apart) on them.I've found most people enjoy putting it back together, so i normally just throw the pieces in a somewhat "artistic" pile.One of the pieces does have something rattling in it, hopefully it'll hold up to time. 5Whacks RhapsodicDoes this do everything it's advertised to do? Well, I can't prove to you if my left and right brains are communicating better, but I can tell you that the ball of whacks gives you an often much needed literal and figurative "timeout" so you can contemplate the big picture and the little details. From a sensory perspective, it's fun to manipulate the pieces and I like to leave myself signals (sharp points or rounded symmetry) of my mood on the table. Shapes change as do my moods; a good tool for developing EQ. The use of magnets/magnetism as part of the problem solving or creative exercise comes close to the "stacrobats" concept, but instead of soft figures and balls, you have all these wonderful points and pieces that reward the auditory and tactile sense with a satisfying "snick". Enjoy - have a ball! 5Every office needs oneI bought two of these things. I love having them on my desk at work and my coffee table at home. It's great to see visitors fidgeting with them, channeling their creativity while they're chatting. Of course, the greatest value comes when you're thinking through a tricky problem alone. Always fun and engaging. Every office needs one. 5An Excellent Toy or Desk GameEveryone loves the Ball of Whacks. Anytime it has been laying around, inevitably someone picks it up and starts playing with it. The kids like it, the parents like it, the grandparents like it. It keeps everyone entertained.It has a lot of potential, and it's very versatile. It's a great creative toy. You can make art out of it. You can use it to build. The sky's the limit.It looks sharp on the shelf. It's a great office game. It's a great gift for a game or puzzle lover or people who love doing things with their hands. I did end up giving a few as gifts after people fell in love. It has been well-received.My only complaint is that we have one. It's a great item to have a few of. 5One of the better fidget/mind toys for autismIt's a great fidget toy. Got it mostly for an autistic member of the family (ideal toy for that), but others in house will play with it - it's different every time. It's durable and cleans reasonably well. It does make noise when the pieces are "clicking" together. If you're not diligent, you can lose a piece or two. 5Super coolI got a black one for Christmas and had to get a red one to make cool designs. I keep it on my desk at work and coworkers can't help playing with it. Many times they will grab it too hard the first time and the pieces go everywhere. It's a trap! Hahah. In a creative environment it's good to get the brain going in different directions. I think the magnets could be stronger, but it works well. 5Ball of weird!At first, i didn't know what to make of my new impulse buy. It was just something i got to have a toy on my desk for distraction, and perhaps a conversation piece. People always ask me what it is, then they pick it up and they love playing around with it.The weird part is that after ignoring it for a while and then coming back to it weeks later, i begin to dream up all kinds of weird new inventions, ideas for shows, coffee flavors...Lots of these things are bogus or impractical (in this dimension perhaps XD), but occasionally i sit and ponder while just playing with the magnetic pieces and it helps me think clearly.The item itself doesn't hold any magical properties or really hold up well as a throw and catch toy (Ive tried throwing it up and down while lying on my couch, with messy results...) but its definitely interesting enough to hold my attention every once and a while. Makes a nice gift for an inquisitive middle-schooler or budding entrepreneur. 4lots of funI keep this toy inside a pickle jar, so children have to take it apart to take it out, and they have to break it into at least 2 large pieces to reassemble it inside the jar. fun and challenging, in addition to whacking it and putting it back together. 5
