Customer Review: Great toy - good exercise and educational value
Summary: 4 Stars
We have 3 kids of our own. Our oldest is 6 and we have a 4 year old and 1 year old. One weekend when we watched my sister's kids (ages 4 and 1), we bought this game via AmazonFresh. It was great fun for the 4 and 6 year olds. 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. You select a game (hyper dash, micro dash, micro team dash) and a level (1-3). The first player strikes any target to start. 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. If they get it wrong, the wand makes a buzzing sound and they have to keep trying. The goal is to get through all the commands in the round in the shortest time possible. AFter everyone has gone, the wand tells you which player won. There can be ties. The winners advance to the next round.
Our 6 year old understood all the commands which includes colors & math & some memory. The math was too advanced for the 4 year olds but they got the colors & memory commands.
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. It takes 3 AA batteries. Fit well in our stroller.
The kids really got into this game and were quite tired when they finally stopped. It seemed to exercise all the right muscles and kept their attention for at least 1-2 hours
Customer Review: Great fun--but NOT durable!

We bought this toy for our kids for Christmas, and they played with it a handful of times and had a blast. 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. It turns on, but then as soon as you press it to one of the targets, it shuts off. 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. I think it's destined for the landfill . . . what a disappointment.Customer Review: Blast! plus Letdown...

My kids received this as a present for Christmas and all of them from 4 to 10 loved it! It seemed like the perfect "kid" toy. However, as so many have already said, after about 1 month, it stopped working. New batteries didn't help. I even took it apart to see if a wire came out or some connection fell off, but no luck. What a letdown. I'd feel better if it wasn't such a great toy! Do I dare buy another? Probably not.Customer Review: Piece of junk

The kids were really excited about this toy. Unlike the other reviews which report a garbled voice, the voice/commands shutting down, we get repeated commands over and over and over, from the first time we used it. "Yellow! Yellow! Yellow! Yellow! Yellow! Yellow!"
Yet another low-quality toy that will go straight from my wallet to the junkyard. What a shame.
Customer Review: FUN TOY and EDUCATIONAL TOO !! GREAT SUMMER TIME FUN
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this product as a end of school treat for my 11 yr son. He loves it and so do I. It really gets your heart pumping in that you have to be quick on your feet ....you can sit on the floor and place the targets in front of you or spread the targets out in the room to make it more challenging. You try to beat your time or your opponents time. It's great entertainment for one person or a group of players. My only concern about the product is it's durablity in that you have to really hit the targets hard to get a response from the dash stick....and you know how hard kids (especially boys)can be on toys. Its made of plastic so we will see how it holds up over time.Great for younger kids learning math skills as it shouts out addition/subtraction equations and you have to hit the target that matches the answer. Very cool toy.
