The game and gameplay

As few as two players can play this game at a time, but the more kids there are… all the better.

The ‘board’ consists of 16 pads that are scattered about the floor. The battery-opperated talking anouncer gives directions like “Touch a square” and “Crawl to a red pad”.The players follow directions until, randomly, the announcer says “If you are on the pad with the piano, do a crazy dance! You are the winner!” The more energy the players have, the more fun the game is!

Pros and cons

This game is great for learning shapes and colors and following directions.

In addition, kids love that the pads can be scattered around the floor differently, making the game more or less difficult.

The creators of this game even used tie-ins to their games for older children and adults in oder to get children accustomed to hearing some of the terms… so be prepared to buy the other games in the line too!
