Toys R Us Ouija Board: Freakiest toy ever?

After seeing the Wii Baby and Me game last year, I figured we’d kind of reached our limit when it comes to freaky games for kids.

I was wrong.

Toys R Us in the US have bought out a bubblegum-pink Ouija board. Because who doesn’t want to scare the crap out of their favourite little girl?

The game is actually designed to ‘answer’ questions like “Who will call/text me next?” “Will I be a famous actor one day?” and “Can you hear me gran?”.

OK, so that last one isn’t strictly true, but this game still seems like a whole world of wrong. Kids should be playing Monopoly, Scene it! and Wii Fit, not replicating an ancient game that was designed to contact the dead.

Or am I being too overprotective? What do you think about this Ouija board for kids?
