Wow, this game rocks! I watched another teacher use one to turn his bored class of high schoolers into a fully-engaged, excited, laughing, and active set of learners. I highly recommend it.
Mine just arrived from Amazon, and as other reviewers pointed out, the cables are about 4 feet. But not to worry -- there's an easy solution. Just plug in a set of 3.5 mm jack audio extension cables and you can get any length you need. Amazon has a wide variety, so try typing "audio cable 3.5 mm male female" into the Amazon search cell and you should get a good list. I've used the 6 foot stereo version with good results. [Update in March 2011] I've been using this for several months while substitute teaching, and it's been a lifesaver. I form the kids into 6 groups, usually simply by their desk row. They then write on 3x5 cards their own questions and answers about whatever they are studying in the class. I encourage slightly harder questions that would take 5-15 seconds to solve. I then select one question from each group and play the game. (Of course, groups don't get to answer their own question.) During game play, one student from each group writes their answer on a 12x9 inch white board (also available from Amazon), holds it facing the ceiling (so no other groups can see), then a different student pushes the button. Once all teams have written an answer, then I reveal the correct answer. To keep it fun and non-combative, I avoid keeping an overall score. The whole lesson usually takes about 30 minutes. As a final piece of advice, I recommend creating 6 kits in large zip lock bags to pass out to the first student in each row. In each kit is a stack of blank cards, white board, dry erase pen, board eraser and Eggspert push button. Certain teams also get extensions as follows (Pink & purple each get 2 of the 6 foot extensions. Orange & blue get one 6 foot extension each. Yellow and green get no extensions because I set up the unit in the middle.) Orignally I used longer extensions, which tangled easily, so stick with 6 footers and unplug all connections before having the students return them to the kit bags. Have fun!

If you teach high school with 30+ students in your class, don't bother buying this. The company shortened the buzzer cords from 10 feet to 4 feet, and it's impossible to get teams to crowd around the main control panel within a 4-foot radius. I wrote to customer service, and they were not helpful. I had to buy my own extensions off of another Web site which cost me an additional [...]. The students do enjoy playing Jeopardy-style review games with it. I also bought the wireless version of Eggspert first which did not work well at all, so I returned it and got this wired version. Just be forewarned that it comes with very short cables. Had I known this I probably would not have bought it.

I do a lot of training at work and got a lot of stares when I pulled this out. Staff were rolling their eyes looking at it and getting huffy. Then I asked the first question and buzzers started ringing in. Staff loved it!! I've used it for family feud, jeopardy, wheel of fortune, and other games. Staff don't dread training as much now and get more involved in the training. It also builds team spirit. Yes, it looks like a pre-schooler toy, but our staff love it! The options for buzzing are simple yet allow you to change the type of game you want to play, and it's great to have a very unbiased indicator of who buzzed first.
