6 Clockwork Racing Game Christmas Crackers

I bought these wanting to avoid the cheap plastic trinkets that so many crackers contain. They were fun and gave us 10 minutes of amusement at the end of the meal when we laid out the racing board and had a few races. Better than some similar ones we had last year with racing cars where the 'board' was double the length, but had a crease across the middle that prevented it from lying flat. All our racing novelties worked, and the fact that a couple couldn't maintain a straight line just added to the overall silliness. I'd consider buying them again.

I bought these after looking at loads of crackers! Wanted just the right ones as my daughter & family were coming for xmas dinner. The little three year old girl loves pink! So just because they were pink I ordered these. Wow! The whole family loved them! It was a racing game with all xmas related wind up figures in. Santa, Rudolph, xmas tree etc. We had fun racing them on the board provided! What a laugh! They were getting tangled up, walking into one and other, that made it more fun! Especially for the little ones. It is now February and the children still get them out and play with them lol!

This is SO overpriced. I suspected as much, but my son wanted Christmas crackers and I was trying to get something a bit special. I was hoping to get a real game to play with, akin to, say, snakes and ladders. What I got was a thin paper board – the size of the box – and the crackers contained each a small character with a mechanism to be charged by hand, one of those cheap things which stop working after you've done it about three times. Which happened for most of them. Inside there was also a (very thin) paper crownAll in all, we played with it about ten minutes and then got bored, as the characters cannot even run straight on the board as they'd supposed to do to win the 'race'.All the effort here went in the packaging (hence two stars instead of just one) but not in the content. So disappointed. £16 is quite a lot for crackers and I was expecting much more. I will NOT buy again from the same company.

Good product. A lot better than the standard cheap plastic moustache or other naf gifts, better quality and more fun. Although, I would've liked a slightly cheaper price because the pound euro exchange rate (paying in euros) wasn't very friendly at the time.

These are beautifully presented crackers and the racing figures are a nice change from the norm but the kids raced them once and got bored, a lot of money for not much entertainment. The crackers cracked and the figures all worked but in the middle of Christmas dinner there isn't much space to set up a race track! Maybe if you have a few older children they may enjoy it but we didn't get much out of it. A nice one off but I wouldn't get again.

I bought these because we were fed up of the same cracker gifts every year. We liked the wind up toys but they appeared to be made by different manufacturers and the speed of them was very different. Having said that they were still fun. However, the bang was very disappointing in each of them - had to pull the banger after the cracker had been pulled

I bought these because I liked the idea of getting something a bit different to the usual tat you get in crackers that just goes in the bin after 5 minutes. It was so much fun!!! Once we finished Xmas dinner we gathered around and had about 4 or 5 races until the novelty wore off for the 3yo so then we paired up the toys for robot wars!! Loads of fun all round for the whole family (nana, mum, dad, 6yo, 3yo and 1yo).

Good fun after Christmas lunch but there was a slight bend in the paer on which the track was printed which pushed toys to the side so the races didn't quite go as planned . Shade on the expensive side for what it was but hey it was christmas
