The reaction wall the racing teams train on - with snowmen on it
Underneath the winter dressing this is a Batak Pro, through and through: 12 numbered LED targets on a polished steel frame, the machine racing drivers warm up their reactions on. When a pad lights, you flatten it. Misses count against you, hits count for you, and the twin displays keep both tallies live on the wall so the whole room can see who's winning. Half a minute a round means the line never stalls.
The machine itself comes from Quotronics in the UK - it's the design Jenson Button took to a reaction world record - and carries 30-plus programmes behind the voice prompts. We dressed ours in snowmen, pines and snow splashes for Amazon's Peak Wonderland staff events, and have kept supplying Amazon sites each winter since. Whoever books them there said it better than we would: "We have used them for years here at Amazon events. Very Reliable."
Children play it as readily as adults - the modes let you drop the top rows for shorter arms. Do note what it isn't: a rain-proof machine. It needs a hall, a marquee or a covered corner with a 13-amp supply, but it passes a standard single door and takes an 8ft x 5ft footprint.
