Clocky - the wacky waker-upper!
We've seen some bonkers alarm clocks in our time but Clocky has just raised the bar. And that's because this wacky waker-upper leaps off the bedside table and scoots around looking for somewhere to hide when its alarm sounds. No, really!
Simple controls
Simply set Clocky's snooze button to zero and when the alarm sounds all hell breaks loose as this madcap digital clock scurries away, making random turns and racing from your grasp as it searches for somewhere to hide, beeping and flashing all the way. Think R2D2 on Red Bull crossed with a crazy rooster and you're halfway there.

Catch the clocky if you're quick enough! |

Too slow and... |
Time for hide and bleep!
Quite obviously this means you'll have to get out of bed to switch Clocky off. Aargh! It's incredibly obnoxious but seriously effective. And let's face it, getting up in the morning isn't as easy as some people would have you believe. All that early bird gets the worm followed by fifty push-ups malarkey is strictly for weirdos and actors in cereal ads, right? Normal people are incapable of getting out of bed without a bit of comical coercion.
Wheels can be disabled if you're lazy!
Despite Clocky's annoying scurrying, there's something unfathomably cute about an alarm clock that loves playing hide and seek. That said, all you lazybones who'd prefer not to spend the morning tripping over your p-jams will be pleased to learn that Clocky's wheels can be disabled. But that kinda defeats the purpose, unless of course you foresee one of those head-like-an-anvil, throat-like-a-camel's-armpit type mornings.
Small and cute!
With an adjustable snooze timer (can be set between 1-9 mins), Clocky really is an ideal, albeit unsubtle, device for coaxing you out of slumberland. And if any of you inveterate sleepyheads are reading this thinking that you'll soon become accustomed to Clocky's routine, think again. This smart little clock is always on the lookout for different places to hide. Under the bed? Behind the door? Beneath the table? That's for Clocky to know and for you to find out! Beep…Beep…Beep…Beep…Beep...Aargh!!

Firebox, I usually just give you pointless remarks, but this even got my attention. According to Guiness world records '07, clocky is the 3rd WIERDEST ALARM CLOCK!
Michael, Rayleigh - Nov '07 |
WOW! That word tells a lot. Not only does it wake me up, but it keeps me in a sweet mood. Every time I hear it at 6:30 every morning I like to remind myself that I'm the ONLY one of my friends that has one! Thanks Firebox!
Avery, Alabama - Oct '07 |
Well what can I say... I'm on my 3rd Clocky now...
It's extremely irritating and does get you really fired up, so if your slow to get up in the mornings, its essential :)
