I bought Hyperdash this winter for my kids, and it's been great! My older kids are two and five, and both are able to play this game (and I often join them). There are four different game settings, and four levels of each game. In hyper dash and team dash settings, you set the targets up and hit them in the order the announcer calls out. The targets can be set up anywhere--even in different rooms or around the perimeter of the yard. In the micro dash and team micro dash settings, you set the targets on the table and have to hit the targets in longer and longer sequences. On the lower levels, players are guided by the colors. This is great, because my two-year-old doesn't recognize his numbers very well but does know his colors, so he is able to actually join in the play. The higher levels use numbers and and even simple addition and subtraction to guide the players, which is challenging for my 5-year-old. At the end of each game, the hand held device announces how much time each player took or the number of sequences each player was able to remember and then announces which player won the game. Kids can play against themselves by trying to beat their own time, play head-to-head, or play on relay teams. This game teaches coordination, good sportsmanship, turn taking, colors, numbers, memorization, and simple math. It's a great way to get exercise in the winter because we can set the course up around the house. My only complaint is that the game can't be stored in the box it comes in because it has a window cut out to display the hand held device. Other than that, this game is great!

I bought this toy for my very active five year old son. He loves it! So does his 3 year old sister! And his 16 year old uncle. And his 32 year old mom! My daughter can practice her colors and numbers and loves to have a mini course in the room where I am working. My son lkes a bit bigger course, and it wears off some of his excess energy. Spread the course out, and our whole family is in a fit of giggles.

When I read the review of this product at The National Parenting Center's website and saw that it won the Seal of Approval I hurried over to Amazon and bought one. My kids love it. TNPC's reviews are always right on the money and this time was no exception.
Fantastic to keep the kids moving January 14, 2008

Got this for the kids for Christmas and am very pleased with it. They love running around the living room slamming the handle down on the number or color that was called out. On the higher level, it will give simple math problems ("Hit the number that is 6 minus 3") which just makes them have to stop, think and then dive for the correct number.
We can't wait for the weather to warm up and get them outside with this.
My daughters are 10 and 11.
** Highly recommended **

The 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!
