 - Fun and exercise for the whole familyMy six-year-old nephew received this toy for Christmas, and as my mom and I watched him play, we looked at each other and were both thinking the same thing: We need one of those. After Christmas we both ordered our own Hyper Dash, hoping it would inspire us to do a little more exercise--and it has. I spend most of my time sitting in front of a computer, and though I exercise on a treadmill every day, I'm always looking for something that will prompt me to move more. I set up the targets around my kitchen and dining area and do several run-throughs while the coffee is brewing in the a.m. or while dinner is cooking in the evening. It's a fun way to get the blood flowing. Mom has her targets set up in the family room and does a few mid-morning runs each day. The educational value is so-so. The colored targets are numbered one to five and kids can learn to quickly identify colors and do simple math equations. But I can't say enough about this toy's value as a fun way to inspire kids--and adults of all ages--to get moving. In our family, it's a favorite of three generations. Rating: - Fun for one or the whole familyMy 10 year old received this for her birthday. She loves a challenge and she loves to race so this game is perfect. It seems to be a new twist of the game Simon Says. This game can be played on your own or with a group. My 6 and 4 year old love it as well. I like that it is easy enough for my 4 year old to understand and yet challenging enough for my 10 year old as it offers different games and levels of play. It is fairly easy to hear the directions and I like the fact that it gets kids moving as well as thinking. GREAT GAME! Rating: - Worth EVERY Penny!I bought this game for something to do inside, with the kids, in the winter months. I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old. We LOVE this Game! My husband and I get plenty of exercise playing the Hyper-Dash game with the boys! The object is to spread the 5 colored discs around the house, and you are to run to the color that the hand held controller calls out. Whoever has the fastest time wins! This has 4 different games. One other game is a solitare sit down game as well, where it calls out a sequence of colors that you have to remember from the begining to the end. (Much like the Simon game - for those of you who may be familiar with Simon) This has helped my 3 year old with his colors and his memory as well! A game the whole family can get into! I have decided that it will be fun to play out doors when it's warm enough. Since you can have teams, it will be a great game to have on hand for family get-togethers and birthday parties,teachers classrooms and Youth church groups! I have to say this is one game my kids beg to play consistantly, and it's been worth every penny! I've decided to get this game for all my nephews and nieces this year for either their birthdays or Christmas! Rating: - Great toy for kids of all agesMy six year old grandson was so excited cause he had seen this toy on t.v. and really wanted it. He was having a real ball with it and he and his friends have spent hours playing with it. Great for groups of kids. Rating: - Super product--tons of fun--my kids loved it!!! Needs a Volume SwitchThe Hyper Dash was a HUGE HIT in our household. It kept our VERY active 9 year old boy busy, happy and excited for a long, long, long time! He repeatedly ran around the house placing the colored pods, then racing to tag them as fast as he could. He kept trying to beat his last time. He played until he finally collapsed of fatigue clutching the Hyper Dash controller to his chest. When his twim sister came along, they enjoyed playing it together for an equally long time--they switched the music and the modes to play several different ways. HYPER DASH is great to play with lots of kids, too. The math function is great for reinforcing school homework drills in a fun way. Our daughter loved that feature and, so, do we. I hope the pods don't break before our son gets interested in the math feature--. TOO BAD it doesn't have a VOLUME switch--the controller's VOICE is pretty LOUD and can become annoying when played indoors. I also wish the pods could stack together inside the controller for storage, it would be more convenient and help keep all of the pieces together--something I'm always trying to do when new games come into our home. I heartly recommend Hyper Dash for everyone-your kids will love you for it! --Gina, CA Mother of twins
