I totally think I need my own giant-size Operation Game. What was the tool for removing things from inside?

Hi Timshel
Here is a good resource for general Vampire Power amounts if you want to go
that route.

Also, you should talk to the folks at Hive 76 or the Hacktory (your local
hackerspaces!) about generators. I bet they have some original generator
ideas and they may even want to collaborate to make something more awesome
than we can imagine.
They made a sweet giant game of Operation with the Franklin last year.

Good luck,
