Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Wild Planet Hyper Jump keeps minds sharp and bodies moving. Hyper Jump has kids using their bodies to tag targets by hopping and jumping. The center pod calls out commands instructing players to jump on various pods in the fastest time possible. Lively music, scoring updates and encouraging phrases keep the game upbeat and positive. Trick commands mix-up the action. Phrases such as, "Criss Cross", "Reverse Jump" keeps kids moving. The game offers varying levels of difficulty, starting with simple color and number recognition advancing to sequential memory and basic math exercises. Hyper Jump can be played solo or in teams.

Product Description

From the makers of the popular Hyper Dash games, Hyper Jump is the target-touching total body action game. Start by laying down the large 22-inch-diameter, five-target hyper jump unit on the floor. Then listen as the Hyper Voice calls out commands. Tag the target pods with your hands and feet. Jump to blue! Now tag 3! Score the fastest time, and you win. After you've mastered the basics, tricky advanced commands put your speed and agility to the test. Play on your own or go head to head in a lightning-fast game of total-body action. Requires 3 "AAA" batteries, not included.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing...and a little painful!, December 7, 2008

I am a father and have been working with children for 10 years as a pediatric occupational therapist. Hyper Jump was a disappointment. The speaker voice is difficult to understand at times. The pads have a hard plastic tip where it connects to the air hose...if your kids are playing in their stocking feet, be ready to hear some "ouches". After playing it for a few weeks, the middle pod is already showing signs of breaking and not registering every time you step on it. And if you are looking for games that get your children moving, this is not it...HyperDash is better for that. This game was not worth the hype. Hope this helps!

Hyper Jump was an immediate hit with my nieces and nephews. They were fighting to try it and challenge each other. You set it at various levels of challenge - and follow the directions - if you can move fast enough! Hop, jump, tag, reverse. The players are constantly twisting, moving and turning to follow the verbal sequence of commands. The big kids can play with the little kids and everyone has fun. One of the few toys that will pull my nephew away from video games. Really helps burn up pent up energy on rainy "indoors" days. A "must have" for families.

This review is from: Wild Planet Hyper Jump (Toy)

My 6-year old, very active son received this gift for his birthday. When we took it out of the box, we didn't know what to expect. I tried it first, and could see quickly how this toy/game could really work you out. My son and his friends tried it and were having a good time challenging each other...until one of the pods broke!! The design is so simple, but we can't seem to figure out why the green pod doesn't work anymore. We haven't even had it a month. These boys are a little rough, and I wasn't watching when it broke; but I can't see how it could've broken. We were really enjoying the game, so for the cost I might just replace it.
