Tetris Alarm Clock

Here’s our weekly quota for an unusual and complicated alarm clock, courtesy of Instructables member / Arduino enthusiast / geeky torturer Nolte919. His alarm clock requires the user to play a game of Tetris and clear not one, but four lines on the tiny screen before it turns off the alarm.

When you’ve used up the preset number of snoozes, the game fires up. As you might have guessed, you’ll have to turn the clock sideways in order to play the game. It may not take a genius to play Tetris, but because each level is randomly generated it just might be enough to fire up your neurons and really wake you up.
