Urinal Game a reality

Urinal Game
Well do you often take a whiz and wonder what you could be doing to make that experience more fun? Well look no further, peeing is now a video game. That’s right, take a tinkle and compete against a buddy to kill aliens or ski down a mountain.

The Place to Pee’ booth is designed for two users at a time and offers two games - blowing up aliens in outer space or skiing down a virtual slope.

Gamers hit their target by aiming at sensors positioned on either side of the urinal.

A specially designed paper cone allows women to play too, the inventors say.

Leave it to two Belgian beer fans to develop a peeing game and name it “Place to Pee”, this is straight out of Beerfest. The two gentlemen Werner Dupont, a software developer and Bart Geraets, an electrical engineer, got the idea while drinking beers and having a strong urge to pee.

So next time you pee shoot for the high score!
