Flamin Finger Arcade

Game Play: The game generates an LED maze behind a touchscreen. The player must then trace through the maze, using his or her finger, within the given time limit. Depending on the player’s progress when time is up, arcade tickets or prizes are awarded.

The most important aspect of the game is that the rate the timer ticks down increases as the player gets closer to the goal; anything less than a perfectly executed finish will usually result in losing the game.

The touch screen the arcade cabinet uses has a fair amount of friction between the screen and the finger, making it difficult and physically tiring to move the finger rapidly and accurately. After an operator-adjustable number of failed attempts, the game will ease up on its difficulty somewhat, allowing the game to be won with less perfection.
