Easy to use and set up and great fun to play
We are really loving the Nex console. It is so easy to set up- you just plug it in to the TV and it’s a tiny box so very unobtrusive. Everything uses your body so it’s been really fun to play with my daughter who consistently thrashes me at everything. There’s tutorials before each game and it’s really easy to use. We’ve loved Zumba, whack-a-mole, bowling, fruit slice and the dance game. My 14 year old has been asking us to play with her and it’s really easy to pick up the games. They are quite short so easy to play a few in one session. She loved connect 4 and the rubicks cube . You can play alone or in teams and there’s different games for all ages and abilities. We’ve would recommend as a great console to get you up and moving and for whole families to play together .

Great combo of active play and gaming
Set up was super easy - my 13 year old did it and we were playing games within a few minutes. The Nex is small, taking up very little room. The game sensors are excellent and pick up our movements perfectly. It's a fun, active way for different generations to play together, or just on your own. Fruit Ninja is proving the most popular game so far. Would recommend if you're looking for a combination of gaming with active play

Perfect interactive game for my 7 & 9 year old
We are really loving the playground. It was very easy to set up, neat and small box that can stay out and easy for the kids to use on their own. In fact, so easy that they are playing game after game with no instruction. I love the fact that there is no console as such - just uses their movement and gets them moving instead of being like a zombie on the iPad! Great selection of games with the 12th month play pass. We’re currently all obsessed with the bowling! It feels super safe and contained in the way that even YouTube kids and apps on the iPad don’t. I also love they can easily play together. I’ve had to slightly re arrange my sitting room though!

Great fun
It’s so much fun, great for solo, sibling and family play. Some of the games feel like a workout, which is great!
