Trick Tock (2003)

In Trick Tock, players race against a talking electronic timer that issues rapid-fire commands—and sometimes, forbidden actions! On your turn, press the timer and do whatever task it demands: answer a trivia question, make an animal noise, perform a gesture, or solve a quick math problem. But be careful—some instructions come with a sneaky “Don’t!” condition. Say “moo” when the game just told you not to, and you’ll be penalized. The tension escalates as the timer clicks faster, and players scramble to follow increasingly absurd commands before it barks “TRICK TOCK!” and ends your turn. Trick Tock shares DNA with Outta Control and Moovit, all three hinging on real-time reactions and hilarious “do/don’t” rule reversals. But where Outta Control leans on verbal and behavioral constraints, and Moovit focuses on animal sounds with color-based twists, Trick Tock throws everything at you—math, noises, trivia, and movement—for a full-brain challenge.
