Product Information

Bracelets and balls stayed bright through an hour of play and some were left on and were bright the next day! In fact, they were so upset when we told them that we’d only play one more game that a couple kids (6 or 7 years old) boycotted the last game to try to get us to keep playing (the rationale wasn’t readily apparent to us, but, hey, kid logic…). I bought this game as a Christmas gift for my teenage granddaughter and had it shipped directly to to her since she lives in another state.

Honestly this is a really cool game, I just wish it was a little more durable for little active minds. We found the light up flags to be the best feature of this game, but really did not need all of the other light-up parts. For the glow in the dark game you will need 2 large glow sticks that are differeent colors for each teams flag. My children are 5 and didn’t quite understand the rules but that didn’t matter so much as we all had a ball playing it! Another cool feature is the cards that come with that offer a variety of different ways and themes to play this game.I would purchase this product if your child likes to be outside at night with a large group of friends. Don't activate the glow sticks until right before the game starts so you will have more playing time. Although the area for the game wasn’t the best, the kids had lots of fun and I’m considering getting one for his school as they regularly plan activities outside of school hours for the students and their families.

I was at a party one night and all the kids were in the house, my husband walked in with this game and said, “GET OUTSIDE AND PLAY!It was fabulous to see a bunch of older kids running around at top speeds, exercising, laughing and cheering at the same time. After capturing the flag the team member must make it back to his territory - without being caught - to win.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my kids ages 8, 10, 12, 14 thinking the older ones would play it. The set started failing after a few times of use to the point where we started using the “original” pieces to replace the new ones. I had a replacement within a week along with a whole set of replacement batteries in case other lights went out.

Each side has a "flag", which is most often a piece of fabric, but can be any object small enough to be easily carried by a person (night time games might use flashlights, glowsticks or lanterns as the "flags"). I would encourage anyone that wants to get their kids outside or if they are already outdoor kids, to try this game. Each team has a large glow stick (same colour as their bracelets) or LED light to use as their flag. He has his friends over for bday, set up outside, first globe was not lighting up and second glove was lighting up intermittently. We all really wanted this to be awesome but it ended up being a dud because the kids just couldn’t get it to work.

Worth 5 stars if bracelets are a bit more durable, flags are brighter and indicator lights are a bit bigger. One thing, I wouldn’t mind adjustable bracelets or the option for a mixed box with small and regular size. We were looking for a game that our wide range of ages in our family could enjoy and this game delivered!The manufacturer did a great job providing everything you need for it to really feel like you’re in a video game (LED boundary markers, jail markers, the orbs (flags), and bracelets for every play (16! Since the bracelets are not adjustable they fall off smaller wrists easily and caused it to break when hitting pavement. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the wrist bands come unhooked fairly easy.
