Mouse Trap: When the contraption is the real star

First released in 1963, Mouse Trap turned a simple race game into a joyful spectacle of levers, marbles and mishaps—making the journey as entertaining as the win.

A colorful tabletop contraption board game with ramps, gears and a cage

  • A step-by-step mechanical chain reaction that feels magical when it works
  • Bright, tactile components designed to be handled and assembled
  • A simple race-and-collect structure that keeps the rules accessible
  • Built-in suspense as players wait to see if the trap actually triggers
