operation rapid response.

Hasbro's classic physical skill tester game Operation was given a fresh update by the toy design team at designworks. The design brief was to improve and extend the gameplay of the original version by adding more elements and create a more durable case.


designworks came up with four different timed games with three skill levels. Each skill level reduces the starting amount of time. A heart monitor and oxygen ventilator were also added to Cavity Sam that you can pump oxygen into him to gain more time. This adds to the hospital operation theatre drama and gives kids more elements to play with.


The case was designed to look like a medical first aid case and folds open to reveal the operating theatre. No assembly is required and the game can start immediately.


designworks was also asked to update the objects to be removed from the Sam. Current themes were used to create new object like texting thumb, joystick wrist and tennis elbow.
