This just in! Hyper Dash wins an iParenting Award for "Outstanding Products, Toys & Games"
Overview:
Hyper Dash will challenge you to be your best. It takes no time at all to learn, but selectable skill levels and four completely different game modes mean the challenge, like a real sport, will last a lifetime.
Hyper Dash consists of one electronic tagger and five different colored and numbered targets. The tagger plays pre-recorded music and calls out which targets you need to strike. It tracks the amount of time taken to complete each course. The tagger uses radio frequency identification (RFID) to recognize the targets, which can be set up side-by-side, or spread out across the length of a football field. There's no limit to the distance between targets. Farther targets result in more running and exercise. Hyper Dash can be played indoors or outdoors; solo, in pairs, or in teams. Parents vs. Kids is an entertaining option. Cooperative siblings can work together to beat their best time, while more competitive kids prefer the head-to-head mode. As your speed, skill and agility improve, the series of commands becomes longer and more challenging. Level one calls out the colors you need to tag, level two includes numbers, level three adds special commands (Double Strike, Triple Strike, Reverse, Double Reverse) and level four features Compu-Strike (addition/subtraction problems in which you tag the sum or difference of the numbers called out). Other play modes include the memory game of Micro Dash and multi-player relay races that promote teamwork. For a game of Hide 'n Dash, let your opponent hide the targets before you begin. Every game has encouraging cheers and upbeat music to keep kids on their feet, expending energy and having fun.
Features:
- Follow the announcer's commands and tag the targets with the handheld unit -- fastest time wins!
- Set the targets on the table, around the room, or outdoors to test your speed and agility to the max.
- Choose from 4 game modes to challenge your speed, skill, memory, coordination and teamwork.
- Play solo, head-to-head, or in teams.
- Music and voice drive the action.
- Includes ergonomically designed Hyper Dash unit and 5 targets.
Requires 3 AA batteries, not included.

from Nutley, NJ on 10/5/2009
I love this product and use it often in treatment sessions. It is extremely versatile. I have used it with children of all ages and cognitive levels individually and in groups. The possibilities are endless. Work through the developmental sequence from prone to quadraped, kneel and 1/2 kneel. Even single leg stance and seated on the ball. Easy to facilitate trunk rotation and PNF patterns dependent on positioning. Gross motor skill development varied with inclusion of animal walks to hit target. A must have!
Our whole family loves playing this game! It is great fun for kids and adults alike. The only improvement I would make would be allowing you to set the level on a per-player basis so that the littler kids could play at a lower level and still play against the bigger kids and adults (who would be at higher levels). Still, we have great fun with this game and it is a great way to keep everyone active.
from Natick, MA on 7/19/2009
I loved the game, kids loved the game. Game quit working 2nd day we had it. Currently awaiting a replacement. Hopefully 2nd one will last longer!
from S.C. on 4/28/2009
I taught this to my two four and five year old grandchildren. They loved it.
from Salamanca, Spain (originally from MN) on 4/3/2009
Not only fun to play on a tabletop when you're shut in on a rainy day, but you can take it outdoors and have a blast too! The "team dash" options make it fun for kid get-togethers like birthdays, sleep-overs, and pool parties. I love how it shuts itself off when not being used--saves on batteries and disappointments because it's always ready to go.
from Red Hill, PA on 2/21/2009
Our grandchildren -- ages infant through young adult ALL love this game. It is easy enough for the young ones, but gets progressively challenging enough for even the adults. Our daughter, who is a teacher uses it in class; our Son who is a youth pastor uses it with his teens and their families; we use it as a family game when we have get togethers.
from Japan on 2/14/2009
A stimulating game to warm up with for EFL or ESL classes for children.
from Atlanta, GA on 1/9/2009
It's a fun game ... the kids all enjoy it and get a lots of physical activity. The kids compete at the level they want. Even Mom and Dad play.
from Kennesaw, GA on 1/8/2009
Kids absolutely love this game. Played with it most of Christmas. They can't wait for it to warm up to try it outside!
from Alamo, CA on 1/7/2009
The only bad thing about this game is changing the batteries because you need a SMALL phillips head screw driver - other than that, this game is a lot of fun.
from new york on 1/7/2009
I bought this for an eight year old who is very easily bored. From the moment he started playing with it, his excitement and enthusiasm was obvious. He even plays it with his younger sister. They both love it.
from Northern California coast on 1/7/2009
Easy to play, great for my two kids (ages 5 and 9) which sometimes can be hard to find something for both ages.
from Jacksonville, FL on 1/7/2009
The kids were able to use it right out of the box. Got them all running and moving. Appropriate for young children up. The pieces stack together to make storage easy. Bought one for us and one for a gift. Great family Christmas gift.
from St. Benedict, KS on 1/6/2009
The SPED children I work with enjoy this game, but I wish it was more intuitive. I don't know how to play each game, and the instructions seem to have gotten lost with the Christmas wrapping. I wish they were posted on the box or on the game itself.
from Frederick, MD on 1/6/2009
I got this for my son and daughter (11 and 14) and from the moment thy tried it the day after Christmas it got daily use. Every friend from 6-16 that saw it couldn't help but join in and have a ball, and there are play options to fit every age and ability level. It's fantastic to keep kids moving and busy inside when it's too cold for outdoor play, and every bit as much fun outside. Both my kids immediately thought it would be great for parties. Highly recommended.
from Ontario, Canada on 1/5/2009
Our 3 and 4 year old boys love it! Great way to get them running around, active, and laughing. It's a riot to watch them play (and I don't mind playing with them too!)
from Indiana on 1/4/2009
My 5 year old loves this game!
from Ottawa, Canada on 1/2/2009
Kids run around alot ... Novelty does not seem to wear off...
from Dallas, North Carolina on 12/29/2008
My Grandkids and I played this over and over! This is a sure fire way of getting exercise. I would recommend this to anyone!
OMG THIS THING IS SO MUCH FUN ALL MY CHIDRAN LOVE IT!!! LOL! THEY WAS RUNNIN ALL OVER THE PLACE SCREMIN AND I WAS LIKE, OH MY LORD THEY ARE CRAZY!!! GET OUT!
holy cow! My parents bought this for our active 4yo, and my wife and I are now using it as an entertaining work out! we set it up in our backyard today which has a 5-10% incline, and did our best to compete with each other in our workout clothes... about 10minutes of this nearly had me puking with effort! Its a ton of fun, the BEST activity game I've ever encountered. Recommended without any reservations....
from Ireland on 12/21/2008
Easy to use. Children were using it without instructions. Overall very enjoyable. Good value for money.
MY KIDS FROM 4-14 HAVE HAD A BLAST WITH THIS GAME! IT HAS LEVELS MY 4 YR OLD CAN PLAY AND MY 13 & 14 YR OLDS PLAY MORE COMPETETIVELY AT HIGHER LEVELS. FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. I LOVE THAT THEY ARE USING THEIR BODY AND THEIR MINDS IN A FUN GAME!
from taneytown, md on 12/9/2008
I tried it out as soon as I received it and ended up getting my husband involved. We were laughing the whole time. All my kids and grandkids come over xmas eve and we all play a game. This year is hyperdash! Iknow they will love it. My only problem is that I get so into it, I tend to slam it too hard. Its nice that you can change the difficulty level.
from Texas on 11/15/2008
The kids love this game! It's great to have a tag-like game that can be played indoors.
from Alberta,Canada on 8/28/2008
We love the game! [...]
from Richmond, Va on 7/31/2008
I had to have this gift for my 6-year old grandson after seeing one our grandsons had in Georgia. His 11-year old brother enjoys it too. We avoid screen time, and Hyper Dash lets them expend a lot energy mentally and physically.
My 8-year-old son, who is autistic, requested this game for christmas. I don't know where he saw it, but he wanted it and made sure to mention it often. Luckily for me, I was able to purchase a double pack from one of the warehouse type stores at a very reasonable price. Both he and his 11-year-old sister enjoy racing against each other and the clock. This game really doesn't need recommending. Every child who plays it at our house automatically asks his parent for it immediately afterwards.

This looked like a lot of fun and my kids had fun with it - for about half an hour when it broke. What a disappointment!
from Pensacola,Fl on 6/29/2008
This toy is great and fast moving and keeps ya thinking..kinda like simon says...with running.FUN
from Colorado on 6/19/2008
We bought this game for use at a large childcare facility. The game can be played as a relay or in teams and is easy to set up and fun to use. Kids can play by themselves, though staff love to play as well.
from Vernon, Connecticut on 4/29/2008
Easy to use and durable. Kids played like a team and encouraged each other's best. Announcement of the winner delighted all. Kids had so much fun they didn't realize they were learning/using math skills. Adults had a great time watching and participating! When it got dark outside, game moved indoors and was just as much fun!
from Chicago, IL on 3/22/2008
This is a great product. As a parent, I am always looking for games/toys that are entertaining as well as active. Also you can have many players which makes it great for a family or if a kid has some friends over to play. Please, make more games like this !!!!!
from MIlford. PA on 3/8/2008
I bought this product for my 3 year old son, hoping he would get out some energy this winter when we are stuck indoors. And I was right!! Even at his young age, he was able to play Level 1 Hyper Dash and really enjoyed trying to beat his best time. My husband and I also had a ball playing the MIcro Dash setting, it's like an updated Simon Says. This will keep us busy for years to come.
from Chicagoland, IL on 2/26/2008
My son received this game as a gift for his birthday. The format of the game encourages social interaction and exercise in a fun way. It is simple enough that children of different ages can play it together competitively. Another benefit is that players must quickly process oral instructions and respond to them.
from Columbia, MD on 2/16/2008
Boys are very competitive, so this is perfect for them. They get lots of cardiovascular exercise. We us it inside and outside. When it's warmer out I space the pieces further apart then they would have so they get even more exercise.
from North Plainfield, NJ on 2/16/2008
Our family loves this toy. The set-up was easy and then we just practiced the games at all the different levels. It was fun and challenging even for the adults. I think this is a great toy to get kids and adults up and moving, whether it be indoors or out. Even if we are playing at the easiest level for my son, he loves the energy and his enthusiasm shows. When my husband and I played...our brains were challenged quite a bit for the memory sequences. It travels easy as well. We took it on vacation with us and played inside when it was raining. It takes up barely any room in the suitcases. Worth the money.
from Hanover, PA on 2/15/2008
I first saw this product in a magazine and it looked interesting. When I saw the reasonable price I got on the internet to research further. After watching the video clip, I realized that my kids would absolutely love it. When we received the product, we broke it out right away and have not put it down yet. It is so much fun and very fitness oriented. We have such a great time as a family playing this game that I have decided to purchase another one for even more fun. Thank you Wild Planet for this awesome game!!!!!!!!!!!
from Northbrook, IL on 2/14/2008
Both of our boys, ages 5 and 8 enjoyed this game. It is a great indoor active game in the winter when snowed in and exercise is needed! My husband and I enjoyed it also, and were definitely sweating! My 8 year old liked getting a lot of exercise. My 5 year old liked running. And both my husband and I enjoyed a family game that got us all moving.
from Port Ewen, NY on 2/13/2008
I am a pediatric physical therapist and work in a school district. This product is great for getting the kids to move! I use it as a reward when they have gotten their "work" done. They don't even realize that they are still working. I place the targets on different surfaces so that they have to reach, bend down, or climb onto things to strike them. HyperDash encourages sustained movement, starting/stopping/turning without losing balance, and listening skills, as well as enforces color and number recognition. My only wish is that you could adjust the sound, because it is sometimes difficult to hear. Also, it is not always sensitive to the double and triple strikes and the kids have to keep hitting the target. Thank you for making such a great product!!
from St. Paul, MN on 2/9/2008
This is a great toy for indoors on rainy days, and outside to keep the kids active. It has four games, each can be played by one to four players. My son can keep himself busy while I'm cooking dinner. We also play it together to blow off steam. It has one game that's reminiscent of Simon--I love the nostalgia! It's like being a kid again.
This is the coolest game! I have my kids play it before betime and it wears them out just right! The whole family loves to play this!
from Salem Oregon on 2/7/2008
it has been a hit with the whold neighborhood! My son has been using it as a conditioning method, during these winter months, to prepare for spring soccer.
from Orange Park, FL on 2/7/2008
It is good exercise, fun and makes you think!
Our family loves it!
from Dunmore, Pa. on 2/6/2008
We use this as a family for fun & exercise during the long winter months.
from Phoenix, AZ on 2/6/2008
My son and daughter enjoy competing against each other and don't even notice the exercise! The amount of exercise can easily be adjusted by expanding or decreasing the range between discs. This game includes everyone regaurdless of skill sets. You can strive for personal improvement.
Purchased a 2nd one for a present!
It was a cold day outside and my kids needed to let off some steam so we opened the Hyper-Dash game that we got for Xmas. After hours of fun everyone, including the adults, were sweating at the end and getting very competitive. Even my 5 years old boy who never likes anything for more than 15 mins loved it. The toy is not only fun but great for kids to get exercises in-doors on rainy or cold days. I liked that the kids had to really listen to the instruction especially the math questions.
This toy should be winning awards. If only more toy manufacturers could be more like Wild Planet. By the way I have never written a comment about a toy before but I just had to thank Wild Planet for designing such a wonderful product - Thank you
from Southeast Michigan on 1/14/2008
What a cool game not only for kids, but also for adults. You will have unending hours of fun with this. Originally bought for an 8 year boy, all family members soon joined in. Promotes math skills and agility. You can't go wrong this this at any age!
from Peoria Il on 1/12/2008
It kept them occupied for over an hour right out of the box.
from Knoxville, TN on 1/11/2008
We bought this for our ten-year-old daughter, but her 13-year-old older sister seems to like it as much, if not better. They have played it outside and inside. My older daughter likes the competitive nature of the game. My younger one usually plays against herself, so as to compete only against herself.
I was hoping to encourage more physical activity with this game, but you can play it without having to run around at all. The kids who think it's fun to run around spread the targets out farther. Those who don't like to move as much place them closer together. . . .
from New York on 1/9/2008
I highly recommend this toy, you can get in your exercise while having fun.
from Fairfax,VA on 1/8/2008
Gee whiz, I wish I had opened the box sooner over the Christmas holidays. My 6 year old son was bouncing off the walls and I was ready for school to start! Hyper dash was very easy to use and immediately engaging. He was happily occupied for some time. The next game we played together all the while laughing as we dashed about our small townhouse. We plan to take it to our next Tiger Cub meeting as a fun activity for those lively boys.
from Cincinnati, Ohio on 1/8/2008
I have one hyper grandchild and it is hard to keep finding things to do inside in the winter. This has been a great addition, and everyone can participate. We are into competition.
from Canton, Ohio on 1/8/2008
Easy to use and understand for children and adults. This would be a good game for Elderly, handycap. In a Gym it would be good for wheelchair persons.
from Pleasant Hill, CA on 1/8/2008
From sitting at a table to running course inside to outside. This product excercises the mind and the body, from simple to more complicated levels. All ages Adults on down to older pre-school can enjoy this game.
from DuPont, WA on 1/8/2008
My 3 and 5-year-olds both love this game! It's a perfect game for our rainy winter months.
from Lubbock, TX on 1/8/2008
As I have indicated, we had a blast playing the game but found it difficult to hear the instructions.
from Rodeo, CA on 1/6/2008
Purchased as a Christmas Gift I had my doubts about this game. However, much to my surprise I found my grandchildren and myself playing for hours. They were able to run from spot to spot in a desired path that I set. Since it was winter they were not able to get adequate exercise and this game really gave it to them. Wonderful.
from Yreka, CA on 1/5/2008
It's a nice change to see kids up running around instead of sitting in front of the t.v. with a controller in their hands! It's a lot of fun for kids & adults. The price was reasonable too.
from Grand Rapids, Michigan on 1/5/2008
My grandchildren (ages 7 and 4) are having a great time excerting all of their pent up energy during our long, cold Michigan winters.
from MN on 1/4/2008
This game is great! Everyone in the family loved this one. It is perfect for physical recreation indoors, but I can't wait for Spring to try it outdoors (we have about 18" of snow on the ground now). A brilliant use of RFID.
from Roseburg, Oregon on 1/3/2008
My grandsons and their friends really enjoy it.
Everyone that has played wanted to play again, and again,and again etc.
from midwest on 1/3/2008
Great for inside winter fun.
from Greensboro, NC on 1/3/2008
This product is great. Both my 8 yr old and 6 yr old love it. It's great for either single or multi-player use, so no squabbles. For even younger players, you can use it to teach colors and numbers 1-5 by placing the targets side by side. For older players, you can make the game ridiculously fun by spreading the targets out all over the house or yard.
My husband and I laughed hysterically at how the kids raced (screaming the whole time) to all the targets. My husband so enjoyed the fun that he joined in himself, yelling and waving his arms as he raced to the targets, egged on by the kids.
Hyper Dash would be an excellent gift for any child or family, but I think it would be even more ideal for overweight children since it makes running fun.
The only thing I'd do to make the toy better is make the green target a deeper green--I think it's too similar to the yellow target.
But even that being the case, I highly recommend it!
from Warroad, MN on 1/3/2008
I gave Hyper Dash to my 3 1/2 year old grandson who is pretty sharp intellectually but not very coordinated. He tried it out by himself indoors on the easiest level and had a fun time. I like the fact that the game is so versatile and will still be appropriate (and fun) as he gets older. It's good exercise for the body and the mind and provides an opportunity for kids and parents to play together.
from Dyer IN on 1/3/2008
We haven't stopped playing since my 8 year old son got it for Christmas. We have played it both inside and outside. It's great for everyone.
from Pickerington on 1/3/2008
The hyper dash is a great motivting game for kids of any age, indoors or out. It's an active game that gets your kids moving.
from Wilmington, DE on 1/3/2008
Great for indoor fun when it is cold outside. Create new ways to play! Make up your own games!
from Lake Norman, NC on 1/3/2008
My 4 year old son is excited about matching the colors as fast as he can. My 6 year old is excited about expanding his math! They get the game out themselves and love running all over the house (in a controlled manner) while searching for the next disk!
from Illinois on 1/2/2008
My three children ages 2, 10, and 12 loved this game! My husband even got involved! I was impressed that there was some addition and subtraction with the upper levels. I wish there was even more of that and multiplication, too. Level one was easy enough for my 2 year old and yet still engaging for my husband! Great game! Would purchase again as a gift.
from Dover, MA on 1/2/2008
We love playing this as a family. Fun, good excercise, great for this winter, look forward to playing outside come summer. Will be our new birthday present to good friends, family gift. I wish the price was a little lower, more like [$]so we could give for every birthday party though. Be careful how hold as we have had a pinched finger when tagging colors.
from San Mateo, CA on 1/2/2008
I was worried that my niece (5 yrs old) & nephew (3 yrs old) were too young to play with it. There are 2 games possible: Hyper Dash and Micro Dash. Micro Dash requires more cognitive development as you have to remember the right sequence of colors/numbers to tag. The 3-yr-old did not understand the concept, and the 5-yr-old was competent, but got a little frustrated. Hyper Dash is easier as all you have to do is run to tag one color/number at a time. Both kids were good at this. Also, the adults would watch the kids and get sucked into wanting to test their skill, too. One drawback: the color/number disks are small and impossible to see if you spread them over a large playing field. Better in the back yard or the play room.
from Southshore, Ma on 1/2/2008
This is an amazing game. I have 3 children ranging from 13 to 3. They all LOVED this fun game. Easy enough for the little one and challenging enough for the teen. Product is tough enough to withstand being dropped.
from New York on 1/2/2008
Interactive and entertaining for a 7 and 10 yr old without being too hard for the 7 yr old and not too boring for the 10 yr old!
from Sarasota, FL on 1/2/2008
I bought Hyper Dash for all of my neices and nephews, as well as my own son, for X-mas. The ages range from 3years to 11years. All of them love it!!! The 3year old gets practice with his colors and numbers by having them lined up in front of him. Siblings are able to play together and singletons have a great time by themselves. The adults also enjoy it! Hide & seek is a blast, too. It is wonderful that this is a game with movement. Highly recommended for children of all ages.

from Canoga Park, CA on 1/2/2008
It keeps the kids entertained and active when it's not nice outside. Inside, you need some room without hazardous obstacles, though. Outside is no problem. Great game and the kids love it!
from NY on 1/2/2008
Great family fun toy. Plus you are up running around which is good for the kids.
from Denver, CO on 1/2/2008
Terrific game for children!
from Northern VA on 1/2/2008
This was a Christmas gift for my 6-yr old son but his 7-yr old sister and 3-yr old brother also had a blast with it (and they all loved laughing at Mom & Dad running around with it!). It gets the kids moving and is a lot of fun. We've only had it a few days but so far it seems pretty durable. The voice that calls out the colors is easy to understand even when you're running around. There are only 3 buttons and my 6-yr old can successfully operate it to select which game he wants, how many players, and what level of play. My kids love to put it on the 3-player setting and compete to see which of them can get the fastest time. Overall, user-friendly; has a nice variety of one-player or multi-player games without being overly complicated to use; great for winter indoor recreation so far and I imagine we'll use it outside in the warm weather as well. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because we haven't had it long enough to know how well it's going to hold up, but it seems pretty well made.
from Naperville, IL on 1/2/2008
It's a fun game to burn off some extra energy.
from Nashville, TN on 1/1/2008
I have 4 kids between the ages of 3 and 8 and they love playing the game. I have found it very educational as well with color and number recognition and basic math. It has been a good way to get them away from TV and sedentary games. My husband & I love it too, and it gets my heart pumping.
from Chicago, IL on 1/1/2008
Really great game -- my nieces and nephew LOVED it! One of those rare games that invites lots of active running around AND lots of thinking. I highly recommend it!
from Warren, RI on 1/1/2008
Indoor or out this is a hit with the kids.
from Nashua, NH on 1/1/2008
My kids really enjoyed this toy. Lots of fun and it gets them moving. Very easy to use...
from thibodaux, la on 1/1/2008
this is a fun way to get exercise and play together as a family.
from CapeMayCourtHouse,NJ on 1/1/2008
I have 4 boys and they loved it. Great for family .Even a couch potato kid would like it.
from andrews, in on 12/31/2007
is great for any age. I'm getting older and worry about alzheimers. Stimulates memory and concentration. better than old word searches !
from East Lansing, MI on 12/31/2007
Great for my whole family ages 3 to 10.
from Birmingham, MI on 12/31/2007
This is a great toy! Just open the box and start to play. Both my son & daughter (5 & 7) love it! It's great exercise & it's helping them with math too. Great purchase!
from DeWitt, MI on 12/30/2007
We bought this game for our six year old son and it has been great fun for the whole family! In addition to challenging your memory, the game also gives you a little workout!
from Indiana on 12/30/2007
Great that can be one person game, team or 1-1 competition. The music and voice are very cool additions. Definitely a good value as well.
from Kentucky on 12/30/2007
A great gift for our grandsons!
from arizona on 12/30/2007
This toy is a load of fun for all ages...my 2 year old is even reinforcing her knowledge of colors. So much fun...even for adults. Finally a toy that gets kids moving!!! A must buy.

We are going to buy 5 more to give as gifts for any upcoming birthday parties.
My three year old daughter loves it, and so do her (37 year old) parents. Fun for the whole family.
from Smyrna, TN on 12/29/2007
This game was bought for my 9 year old daughter for Christmas! She and I both love it! My husband has not had a chance to play it, but when he does I'm sure he will love it too because he is just as competitive as we are!
I love the fact that there are a number of different game modes to choose from.
from Winchester, VA on 12/28/2007
Bought this for my 8yr. old son and he LOVES it! His 12 yr. old sister enjoys creating obstacle courses for them to do with the Hyper Dash. It gets them up and running around, hones co-ordination skills, and memory.
from NY, NY on 12/27/2007
this was the perfect gift for my hard to please 10 year old nephew
from Franklin, NY on 12/27/2007
Got this game for my 9 year old grandson as a Christmas present. I decided to try it out first before I wrapped it, you guessed it , I could'nt put it down. It was so much fun just playing it by myself. I naturally had him open it first so we all could play with it as a team. Very intertaining, educational, and most of all fun.
from Plainville, MA on 12/27/2007
My 9 yr old daughter received this game for Xmas. She loves it! I almost gave it 5 stars but I really wish it gave more math exercises. I bought this for the educational aspect which it has (it's even appealing to my almost 3 yr old son) It will teach him colors & numbers.
from Springield, MO on 12/27/2007
I bought this for my 5 year old son and he loves it!! It is great for getting the boy moving without having to enlist friends for playing. Perfect for exercise....agility and speed, quick thinking too.
from Wilburton, OK on 12/27/2007
This game really gets the kids off the couch and involved. A very active game.
My daughters love this toy they are always out of breath after playing it.
Who needs a gym membership when you have Hyper Dash?! Get's everyone running around and having a ball. My boys are colorblind, but memorized which number corresponds to which color. This is going to be my standard birthday gift for active kids (or kids who should be active!!).
Purchased this for 8 year old for X-mas...the whole family had a riot playing it! We even got the Aunts, Uncles and Cousins involved and had competitions. Wow, talk about getting people off the couch! Fabulous!
from Maine on 12/25/2007
Great product. No more words are necessary.

I love the Hyper Dash. This is a very thought- provoking game that is not only entertaining and loads of fun but presents incredible challenges to kids of all ages. Matter of fact ... if you are at all competitive ... this is the game for you!

Hyper Dash is a great indoor gross motor activity, especially during the winter months! Just be careful with little hands. When you push down on the handle, little "pinky" fingers can get pinched. I use this game in school and have had to add padding to the game so that younger kids can use it.

Kids from 5 to 11 ran around staying out of the kitchen at Thanksgiving. When weather turned bad, they brought it inside and played around the house.
Setting the game and level and players was a little confusing, even for the older kids, as the buttons didn't make sense to them.
My son got this for his birthday, we had just encountered the fires in Southern Ca and he wasn't able to run outside for a week, well this game took care of it inside a house. It was great!!! I tried it and laughed so hard and was so out of breath!!! I love this game! Very simple at level 1 and too much thinking for me at level 4. Great for kids of all ages and perfect for family entertaining. Also, this game would be great for parties!

My family including our kids 5 and 9 y.o. as well as nieces and nephews age 3 to 14 have all LOVED playing it. We play it inside and outside - it was the hit of Thanksgiving. I am recommending it to all I know.

Great game. Lots of fun. The game could be expended to be more educational. If there were 10 taggers and a whole setting for computations then you could sell alot of these to elementary schools.

This game could be expanded to be more educational. As teachers, my husband and I would love to use this in our classrooms if there was a specific setting for math (number sense/addition/subtraction). This game has a lot of potential!

As a Strength and Conditioning professional, I have used this tool for high school athletes as well as younger, active children. Great tool!

This is a great toy that is completely kid user friendly. It really doesn't require adult involvement, and keeps the kids going for long periods of time.

I volunteer alot at my daughter school. I would like to do a fundraiser and sell this product to the kids. Is there a discount for multiple purchases. The principal would like to inquire. Please let me know if that is available.
