Are you a purveyor of fine, starchy vegetables, but also have a penchant for gaming?
Do you find yourself endlessly scrolling through game sections of websites thinking;
“Gosh, if there was only a wonderfully engaging activity that merged both my love of hot potatoes and, secretly, my desire to quite literally shock people with volts of pure excitement.”
Well, you’re not alone! This is exactly the predicament Mr. Russet P. Tato was in just a few short years ago.
Mr. Russet P. Tato lived in the great state of Idaho.
You know, the world-renowned state for the finest selection of hot potatoes ever imagined.
His eyes, weary.
His heart, heavy.
His soul, empty.
Russet had friends coming over that evening, and he simply could not find the perfect way to entertain them.
So he stood there, stoically looking over the beauty of Idaho, thinking…
The wind blew, the sun was setting.
Russet closed his eyes, and then it happened.
YES, IT HAPPENED.
Full of starch, vigor, energy and probably one too many Red Bulls & Old Fashioneds, Mr. P. Tato jumped to his feet.
He grabbed Ms. Tato and rushed into the fields and grabbed a handful of potatoes.
He ran at full speed into his workshed and began creating something that the world had never seen.
Since Russet’s potato work is proprietary information, and we’re not allowed to share his exact methods, here are just a few words, to sum up what happened that evening:
- Pliers
- Wires
- Soldering
- Vice Grips
- Test Tube Shots
- A Potato Peeler
- Steve From Blues Clues
- Aged Wisconsin Cheese
- An Allen Wrench
- A guy named Allen Wrench
- 1lb of Organic, Grass-Fed Idaho Potatoes
- Fourteen pairs of velcro sneakers from the late 1970s.
The guests arrived. Then, what happened next will blow your mind…
Russet introduced …THE SHOCKTATO.
They played with the Shocktato for hours. Women even clutched their pearls and looked for the closest fainting couch.
The Shocktato - Part Hot Potato, Park Shock, ALL FUN.
Mr. Russet P. Tato was labeled a true Idaho hero.
To this day, if you visit the small town of Orafino, Idaho, there is a bronze statue dedicated to the inventor of:
The SHOCTATO Party Game
The statue of the genius who turned a hot potato into a shock potato can now be seen by all who visit the town square.
Be your own hero of the party: bring the legacy of Russet P. Tato home.
Not only will you be regaled as the champion of fun…
but partygoers, friends, and family of all ages will have their life changed forever after playing the insanely addictive and exciting game.
As Russet P. Tato defined the SHOCKTATO so poignantly:
“It’s basically hot potato, but it doesn’t suck. Oh, and there’s a shock thing too. Pretty badass.”
Disclaimer: The SHOCKTATO is the greatest party game of all time.

The Shocktato is a Fun Game!!!
This game is super fun!!! I supervised my kids 6 and l up play on the ‘normal setting’. (The youngest kid is 5 and then I have a 6,7,8,9,13 year old play. And some time the 5 year old will want to play.) Normal setting gives a shock that is light enough not to hurt but surprise someone. Lol I first turned it on and asked them to touch a little spot and if they didn’t mind it they got to play. So of course don’t force them to touch it if they don’t want to but if you are wondering, the normal setting doesn’t hurt. The ‘extreme setting’ hurts so this is why I supervise. With littles they will try to turn it on extreme. So I make sure it’s on ‘normal’ or ‘weak’ (there’s no shock to this one) before it gets thrown into the group. This is also fun for adults too!!!😂 -Amazon Review
