Abstract A game is provided comprising a portable semi-rigid circular sheet of plastic material, for example, in which are integrally formed a plurality of randomly oriented bulges projecting upwardly from the surrounding surface of the sheet. A central bulge is provided, under which is placed a battery operated or other electric alarm. Under any of the other bulges may be placed a circuit closing switch, the circuit wires extending between said switch and the alarm. The upper surface of each bulge is provided with a likeness of a bug or bugs to add interest to the game. A contestant, not knowing under which bulge the circuit closing means is placed, attempts to step on as many bulges as he can, without stepping on that bulge having the circuit closing means thereunder, as when he steps on that one the game is over for that contestant.
