More Than 5 Stars
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ NEX Playground is such a fun and innovative experience! It’s a hands-free video game system that plugs right into the TV and gets kids moving instead of sitting still. My kids loved being able to use their whole bodies to play, jump, and interact with the games. Setup was easy, the gameplay was engaging, and it kept everyone active and entertained. It’s a perfect mix of screen time and physical activity. Highly recommend for families looking for something fun, active, and different!

Nex Playground Keeps our Family Playing Together!
Quality active playtime that I can have with my 8 year old and 3 year old?? Definitely, yes!! The whole family is having a blast and everyone is included, even Grandma! Easy for players who can't use a controller! I wouldn't trade this time with my family for anything!

Excellent for multiple kids
This was a Christmas gift for our 4 kids (ages 3-7). There are preschool games on it which are better for the 2 youngest. I can tell this is going to be a hit for all ages.
