Customer Reviews
Fun but didn't last
Game worked the first day. Second day worked sporadically. Now does not work at all. Tried inserting NEW batteries but still does not work. My kids liked it so we're simply exchaning for a new one. Hopefully this one does not fail. Amazon's return policy on defective items could not be easier.
My boys' favorite gift this year!
I am SO glad I bought this toy. My boys ages 6 and 3 1/2 both love it. It is wonderful for cold or bad weather days when we are all inside and they start getting hyper. Now instead of getting frustrated, I just say "Why don't you go play Hyper Dash?" and they reply "Yea!". They play until they are both out of breath (and then they switch to "micro dash" level - a game option without the running). Although the recommended ages are 6 and up, my 3 1/2 year old does just fine with it. As long as the child knows their colors, they should be able to play. And I'm impressed with how many different options and levels there are to the game. I don't think the kids will get bored with it because it has so much variety. The only other game I have purchased that was this much fun was a dance pad game, and that was considerably more expensive. For $20, this toy is worth the money.
2 versions of Hyper Dash
I bought Hyper Dash for my two boys to play. It broke during the first game and could no longer identify which color disc you were placing it on top of. But it turns out the one I bought at Target does not use RFID to identify the discs. It uses a cheap height sensor spring and each disc is slightly different shaped. It was super annoying because you had to get the wand right on top of the disc so it could tell what color it was. I returned it to Target and was very disappointed. Then I came here to leave a review and noticed this one uses RFID (which DH thought they should have used.) This one costs a bit more than the one at Target $15 vs $20-30 but I'd gladly pay more to have it not break.
