      @ melibabe... we have just returned from our trip a few days ago. we will be updating our website and adding "folks who make it go" soon. you should have recieved the page of the coloring book with your photo, it's a handmade coloring book so it looks like a xerox copy with pics of pieces of the machine, song lyrics, and characters from our show- if you didn't get one of those please send us a message and we'll get one in the mail to you! thanks again for your support!!!

      Hi there gang. I was just browsing back through my previously backed projects today, and thought I'd check in here. I received my signed photo some time back (thanks!) but wondered about the status of the coloring book page(s)? (And the "people who make the mousetrap go" page, though that's not a big deal to me.) Is that still in the works?

      Thanks.

      Love this idea and now it is a reality! I played my board game to death and begged for a new one when I was a kid!!

      I'm pretty broke at the moment, but I had to pitch in a little for the Mousetrap! I wish I could give more!

The Life Size Mousetrap is the classic board game miniature turned into a life-size spectacle!

"A colorful assemblage of kinetic sculptures fantastically handcrafted into a giant 25 TON Rube-Gold-berg machine!" This classic contraption's chain reaction applies Newtonian physics, luck, and bowling balls to drop a 2 TON bank safe on a car! As an antidote for an increasingly digital world, the Mousetrap can offer a real time engagement with simple physics, spectacle, and fun, rolled into the worlds only traveling production of its kind.
