Wild Planet Hyper Dash

Date Published: 9/21/07

Hyper Dash, a fast-paced electronic game from Wild Planet, allows you to play anywhere. Whether you play indoors or out, by yourself or in teams, Hyper Dash challenges both body and mind with entertaining and engaging game play.

While Hyper Dash utilizes flashy modern technology, it draws significant inspiration from the age-old playground game of tag, as well as the infamous arcade game known as "Whack-a-Mole." Hyper Dash promotes listening, memory, math and coordination skills, and it will make sure you and your kids get plenty of exercise, too. One to eight players can tackle any of four different game modes, which include memory games and math problems that require you to quickly calculate the correct answers. Each level becomes longer and more challenging. The game is recommended for ages 6 and up, but adults will have plenty of fun as well.

Hyper Dash comes with a handheld, battery-operated "tagger" and five colored and numbered targets. Each about the size of a hockey puck, the targets can be set up virtually side by side or spread out across 100 yards or more. Place the targets farther apart for more running and exercise, or place them close together when playing indoors. The tagger plays prerecorded music and gives clear voice commands as to what target or targets you need to strike next, and it tracks and announces the amount of time taken to complete each course. The tagger also keeps score and declares the eventual winning player or team. Hyper Dash is compact and totally portable, so you can take it to the beach, the park or even Grandma's house.

Hyper Dash is an intense, kid-friendly game that's also fun and exciting for adults. For a game the whole family can enjoy, add Wild Planet's Hyper Dash to your shopping list.


Pros: Fast-paced action the entire family can enjoy, compact and easy to transport, solo and team play, four game-play modes, targets can be set up close together or far apart, great price
Cons: None
