World’s Largest Jigsaw Puzzle

Are you one who loves jigsaws? Perhaps you feel that your brain needs a little bit more exercise than all the passive feeding its been doing in front of the TV, and hence looking upon the World’s Largest Jigsaw Puzzle might just jog your grey matter by a bit.

Some others might call it as one of the more challenging art pieces to assemble at home, but it really depends on how you look at it. Available for pre-order at £199.99 when available, it comprises of a whopping 32,256 pieces. Good luck counting them to make sure that you do not have any pieces missing…

Tipping the scales at around 17kg, this premium grade, soft-click monster will be accompanied by its own trolley and is a Guinness record breaker. All we have left to say about this is, ensure there is enough space in your pad to put this behemoth up once you’re done!

Rap Battles Game

You know those movies where rappers and dancers get together, and they hold “battles”? Now I am not that musically inclined, and I definitely do not have any idea on how the judging on points come about, but I guess that there is always a time and place to start, what with the £19.99 Rap Battles Game.

Yup, imagine yourself to be the next Ice T or Eminem (or Vanilla Ice if you’re a 1980s kid), waiting to unleash your skills of a lyrical poet or master MC. Challenge your mates as well as drive your family nuts with this, as you earn hip hop dollars (the game’s denomination of choice) as you wax lyrical in your living room.

To win the game, just be the first player (or should we say, rapper?) to earn $1,000. Each purchase will come with a Boom box, 40 Rap cards, 40 Star cards, Dice, and the relevant Rap dollars. To play, there must be a Rap manager who is in charge of paying each player $100 if they successfully complete a rap. Each player will take turns to pick up a Rap card and Star card, rolling the dice and letting the number decide which track the rap will be performed to.

Best to dress up for the part, no?

Check out the new sport, 360ball

We’ve previously reported about budding sports here at Coolest Gadgets with Knokkers, a game that combines bowling with billiards.

This 360 ball is a game of tennis combined with, I don’t know, maybe Tiddlywinks? I have a video of it after the jump so you can see how it is played. As for me, I can’t figure out how to play it. Then again, I’m not that good at sports and couldn’t explain to you the rules of football if you asked me.

Here’s what I can understand: there are four players that must start in a particular quadrant. One of them hits the ball into the central circle that you see there. The players from the other team must hit it back, but they are allowed to touch the ball twice in the process.

If the ball hits the ground or another player, then the other team gets a point. If the ball strikes that inner orange circle after hearing the central circle, I believe the ball must be played on, but it makes for some interesting ricochets.

I would imagine that this type of circular court would be more difficult to built then a tennis court, but it certainly looks quite interesting. Right now, the first official court has been set up in Knysna, South Africa. If there are spectator seats for that, I’m guessing most of them get a good view.
