Or maybe its since my daughter is 8 and this is a game starting at 6+.I recall a game named Simon when I was a kid - and I think that game was more fun.25 years ago. maybe I didnt research this game enough, I read the "4 games in 1" and thought that was exciting.but each version is a slight variation only of the actual game.
The courses we set up do not span a great distance--so we don't do a lot of running. It is a lot of fun. However, I'm thinking of expanding the distance and perhaps I could lose some weight as well as having fun. I saw this game for some time, but just didn't think it would be fun. After seeing all the positive reviews I decided to buy it for my son's birthday.
It was great fun for the 4 and 6 year olds. AFter everyone has gone, the wand tells you which player won. One weekend when we watched my sister's kids (ages 4 and 1), we bought this game via AmazonFresh. If they get it wrong, the wand makes a buzzing sound and they have to keep trying. We have 3 kids of our own.
Fit well in our stroller.The kids really got into this game and were quite tired when they finally stopped. It takes 3 AA batteries. The goal is to get through all the commands in the round in the shortest time possible. We found that if you placed the targets far enough part (outside in the yard or at the park), the game was good exercise as the kids ran around from target to target.The game is easy to transport - light and compact. The first player strikes any target to start. The math was too advanced for the 4 year olds but they got the colors & memory commands. You select a game (hyper dash, micro dash, micro team dash) and a level (1-3). The winners advance to the next round.Our 6 year old understood all the commands which includes colors & math & some memory.
Our oldest is 6 and we have a 4 year old and 1 year old. There can be ties. It seemed to exercise all the right muscles and kept their attention for at least 1-2 hours Obviously not appropriate for the 1 year olds.First you spread out the targets around the room or yard which are different colors and have numbers on them. The "wand" then speaks instructions to the player such as "Green." (strike green target) or "Double Strike Blue" (hit blue target twice) or "CompuStrike 6 minus 3" (meaning strike the target with the number 3 on it) or "Reverse" (strike last target) The player follows the instructions.
It turns on, but then as soon as you press it to one of the targets, it shuts off. I think it's destined for the landfill. We bought this toy for our kids for Christmas, and they played with it a handful of times and had a blast. We have replaced the batteries, taken it apart to see if there was something that came loose inside, but nope, nothing has worked to fix it. what a disappointment. I loved how it could be an indoor game or an outdoor one. But the kids just took it out again recently, and it doesn't work anymore.
However, as so many have already said, after about 1 month, it stopped working. What a letdown.
Do I dare buy another. I'd feel better if it wasn't such a great toy.
My kids received this as a present for Christmas and all of them from 4 to 10 loved it. I even took it apart to see if a wire came out or some connection fell off, but no luck.
Probably not. It seemed like the perfect "kid" toy.
New batteries didn't help.
