Honesty is the best policy, we're often told. Quite why that is wasn't entirely clear until very recently, when Shocking Liar made its way into the office.

Now don't get us wrong, we're no compulsive fibbers but sometime the odd little white lie slips through the net unnoticed.

Not any more, though, since Shocking Liar means you won't be able to get away with even the slightest indiscretion without paying for it with a nasty electric shock.

All you need to do it slip either hand into the ergonomic hand strap and answer a couple of control questions. Once that's done, you can begin to tell the truth in earnest.

You might even be able to get away with some little white lies, providing you don't give yourself away by sweating profusely.

Still, even the slightest and whitest of lies could still land you in trouble, since the LED lie detector on the front of Shocking Lie could still give you away.
