Product Information

Bought this for my son’s thirteenth birthday and he and his friends played with it during his sleepover party. The small “jail” and parameter lights come unscrewed really easy and the batteries and springs fall out.

Bracelets and balls stayed bright through an hour of play and some were left on and were bright the next day! We just had some spring like weather and he and his buddies went out the other night and played for hours. They played in a rural field/farm which was pitch dark but the quality of the lights wld work great in a nighttime ‘city’ atmosphere as well.This was supposed to be a new item, my son just opened it for his birthday to play with his friends and it is gross! I suggest playing on grass or other soft surface as the kids tend to drop the orbs whenever they get tagged. A couple of the bracelets were lost in the dark of night, but, overall, it was an excellent experience. Includes eight light-up jail markers, eight glow bracelets, five territory markers, two orbs and ten downloadable game variations.

While it’s normally been kids ages 7-16 playing us adults get in on the action occasionally and have a great time. They were a little rough on it and broke one of the orbs the first time out, but I guess boys will be boys!More than half of the plastic bracelets cracked in half and the on/off switch to one of the “flags” broke. But I think I will use strong glue–CA maybe– to seal the one side so the correct side slides out and doesn’t risk breaking the bracelet. This replaced spending more money to have a party at the trampoline place that everyone goes to and the kids had more fun and have played more times.

We new this was a problem, so for my sons get together we purchased blue and green glow in the dark necklaces to wear in case the bracelets fall off the boys.One of the orbs fell apart the first time it was captured, and we lost the non-glowing portion in the darkness. Sadly they were blinded by their success so far in the game, they did not remember that the fastest runner was still free on the kids’ team! However, about 20 minutes after the start one of the orbs stopped glowing after a fall into the grass.

Being able to track the “flags” and all the kids without worrying about them running all around in the dark was pretty nice too. When one of the bracelets charge didn’t connect and my son broke one while playing, they were kind and sent out replacements free of charge. The hard bracelets were breaking left and right (keep in mind we were playing with a teen/adult crowd and some people were being a bit competitive). When I couldn’t get one of the lights to work, they immediately shipped new ones, plus extra batteries and a handwritten note of appreciation. 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.Another variation is when the players put bandannas in their pockets with about six inches sticking out.
