Modern Operation game and kids playing it
Operation is a physical game that involves playing with friends and tests the players hand-eye coordination. It was invented by John Spinello while he was a student of industrial design at the University of Illinois. In 1962, he received an assignment to create a game. He did just that getting the highest grade of his class.
TV comercial for Operation
“I did my prototype of my magic box and everybody liked it,” says Spinello.
The goal of the game is to pick up the funny shaped objects that are placed in the patient’s, “Cavity Sam,” cavities. The objects, that refer to the humourous conditions - Broken heart, wrenched ankle (aka. sprained ankle), butterflies in stomach, funny bone, writer’s cramp, brain freeze (aka. ice-cream headache) and many more - are grabbed with metal-tipped tweezers that are connected to the box of the game. Once the player touches the metal outline of the cavity, the electric circuit is closed, a buzzing sound occurs and our poor patient’s nose lights up!
