This Biting Shark Game was spotted in a Flying Tiger store in Chiswick, London during my 2024 summer vacation. Since all the US-based Flying Tiger stores went out of business during the Covid lockdown, I was extremely excited to find out that they still exist in Europe, because they are just the best stores ever.

Rules of the Biting Shark Game are very simple: players take turns pressing down on one of the shark’s teeth. If you are unlucky enough to press the tooth that causes the shark to close its jaws on your finger — you lose the game! It does not look like there’ll be much damage to your digits though as those the teeth are clearly not at all sharp.
