Hyper Dash

The weather was absolutely lovely yesterday afternoon -- dry for a change and at least 60 degrees. Yousaf came to visit from across the street, and Simon took the three kids outside to run around a bit. They wanted to try the new Hyper Dash game, a Christmas gift from Norman's Godparents. The game description says:
Set out the targets to build your course. The Hyper Voice calls out commands. Players must race the course, tagging the targets with the Hyper Dash unit. Fastest time wins!
It's simple, it works (!), and everyone had fun running around the front yard.




Lea-Frances was playing it in her bedroom this evening without the running. If you put the targets close together you can tag them while sitting. There's also a "Micro Dash" mode (designed for sitting at the table) which involves following a sequence, but we haven't got the hang of that yet.
