Get up and active when playing this twist on the classic 80s electronic game with Hasbro Simon Jump Game Mat. Instead of pressing the red, green, yellow, and blue buttons, players dance out the patterns on a responsive mat on the floor. To play, turn the game on and press start. Players memorize the sequence of colored light patterns and sounds displayed on the game console, then repeat with their feet on the mat. Try to beat high scores. To compete, add multiple Simon Jump Game Mats (each sold separately) to host friendly tournaments with friends and family. This nostalgic toy makes a fantastic birthday or anytime surprise for gamers and kids ages 8 years and up.
Evaluation comments:
“Packaging and overall feel/color scheme etc. is identical to the original game. The mat is big enough at about 2.5 feet square.”
“As the game starts the patterns move slowly and then start to speed up increasing the level of difficulty. It is similar to a dancing mat, like Dance Dance Revolution, however, you don’t have to have any rhythm for this game. It gets people moving and is interactive.”
“I appreciate that there are 2 sound levels. The touch mat is slightly sensitive and doesn’t always pick up every step. But overall, this game appeals to a wide audience and is very fun in group settings.”
“My kids like the active component of the game. My oldest son enjoys the competition while my younger daughters like hopping around. I like that this is a game that my kids can pull out anytime or one that we can all play together with friends over – its versatile and engaging.”
