I don't know about magnets, but evidently electronic games will set the
alarms off.  A couple of weeks ago I purchased "Lost Treasure" at Sear's
in a local mall.  I walked into Field's with no trouble, but when I left
the sirens went off.  The salesperson who came scurrying after us asked if
we had purchased anything at Field's and then if we had an electronic game.
When I told her about the game she said, "Oh yeah, they always do that."
I imagine the guts of the thing are just a chip, a couple of resistors, and
a few led's.
