Description
The inventor of the Ball of Whacks, Dr. Roger von Oech, uses the term 'Whack' to connote something that stimulates us to think differently.

Children over 8 find enjoyment and challenges playing with it. It is also used as a creativity tool used by adults and seniors who find it stimulating and rewarding plus it has won many awards.
