The first time I
saw Mindflex™ being played was at Dream Toys. The game looked intriguing and
lots of fun even if the players looked a little strange in the headsets.
The lightweight,
wireless headsets are the key to the game as they measure your brainwaves and
allow you to control a ball through an obstacle course. Concentrate hard and
the ball rises, relax a little and the ball lowers. By doing this the ball can
be manoeuvred around the course.
Mindflex™ is a
game like no other and will keep anyone over the age of about eight, totally
absorbed. It's weird but it works!
Designed for up
to four players, Mindflex™ has five different game modes:
Mental Marathon -
race through the obstacle course
Chase the Lights
- "tag" as many lights as you can before the time runs out
Danger Zone -
escape each danger zone or lose the game
Thoughtshot -
score points by blasting the ball into the basket
Freestyle - explore
Mindset™ with no time limit
You will need
four C and three AAA alkaline batteries which are not included.
