About this product
This interactive ball game turns speed and reflexes into four different challenges. Kids wear light-up wristbands that communicate with the ball when they make contact. The ball tracks turns, registers hits and announces winners. It works indoors and outdoors for flexible play. Suitable for active children aged 6 and up who enjoy fast-paced group games.
Four game modes keep play sessions varied and competitive. Hot Challenge eliminates players who hold the ball too long. Fast Tap counts how many hits you score in your turn. Race It sends players sprinting back and forth. Tag rewards whoever keeps possession longest. The electronic system handles the timing and scoring. Batteries are required but not included. Ideal play involves three or four players for full competition. This active game encourages movement, quick thinking and friendly rivalry.

Very disappointing - waste of money
This Glow Ball was absolutely rubbish. We tried it once and it went straight in the bin. It barely worked and definitely didn’t do what it was supposed to. The wrist bands are made of really hard plastic and were uncomfortable to wear. My three boys completely lost interest almost immediately, which says a lot. For something that claims to light up and have four different games, it was a huge let-down. Total waste of money — I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I never write reviews but was inclined to do so for this to save anyone else wasting their money.

Kids and grow ups love it! So much fun!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a fantastic interactive toy for all the family! It barely weighs anything and is a reasonable size so is easy to take on the go and use whilst we travel. I love the different game options and so do my children! So much fun’ highly recommend.

Glow ball!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Glow ball! is the fast paced 4-in-1 action game that puts your speed and reflexes to the test. It’s extremely fun to play, both indoors and outdoors, but especially perfect for a rainy day. To play the game, you keep passing the ball to other players when the ball changes colour to match their wristband. Then the player holding the ball when the 'explosion' sound goes off is eliminated. When the ball lights up a random colour, the player with the corresponding wristband colour must run to the ball and tap it as many times as they can before the ball changes colour again. The winner is determined by whoever has the most taps. Overall, the game was such fun and my family really enjoyed playing it together.

Glow ball
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fun game for little ones. There’s 4 games to choose from (we keep looking at the instructions to choose the right one every time). Ball is very light, so easy to play for my 4 year old too. It comes with 3 straps (there’s 4 of us in the family so one of us has to watch unfortunately ). Great fun though and it doesn’t break even when we’re playing outside.

Great active game
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great game to get you involved in paying a physical game of catch. As a family of 4 I would have liked this to have 4 wrist bands to include all but still fun. The texture of the ball was soft do ray on your hand to catch and there wasn’t an overwhelming smell of plastic after touching the ball.

A fab energetic game, if it wasn’t so glitchy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kids loved the idea of this toy and it’s great to have a physical item, which suits my crew to the ground. It’s relatively straight forward in its concept, with 4 different game modes to choose from. It comes with 3 wrist bands, so you are limited to a maximum of 3 players, but in reality 2 of the 4 games only really work well with 3 players (catching and tag) and tag really needs to be outside! It’s fun, fast and brings out the laugher so it’s been great for 10 minute spurts of play. The downsides (sorry!) are the wrist bracelets can be somewhat temperamental to register a move, which has seen some tears when someone gets kicked out as it just wouldn’t register they’d touched it (despite all angles). It also doesn’t register well at all for the ‘fastest to the ball’ game. Again, we can’t figure out how it needs to be touched to register the go. So that is a real downside as the kids get so frustrated by it. Overall they enjoy it and it’s a great alternative to a board game that generally works for inside rainy afternoons for a quick burst of fun, however for our family it needs some moderating to help with technical irregularities and the emotional fallout of them! I’ve given 3 stars but it could easily be a 4 for the concept (as there are only 3 players max and a limit of 4 game types). Don’t forget LOTS of batteries, too!

Great outdoor game!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ball is something new and seen before on the market. My daughter seemed to be really excited. Took us a little while to set it up, insert batteries and link the wristbands with the ball. For the best fun there should be really at least 3 players. We have played most of the games outside in the garden as space is needed for the most of games. Kept my daughter and friend entertained. Great as present.

Positive
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice toy to play for child on its own or with sibling/ whole family. Hours of fun and joy. I was expecting that it will be a fun to play just for a short period but no, its really great.
