Highly recommend
Absolutely love this. It is a great gift for families, friends, or extended family. There are so many different options if games/activities for a variety of ages and interests. It came with everything needed and was so easy to set up. I love how it doesn't require any remotes to actually play the games. My 3.5 and 8.5 year old loved it. My 1.5 year old also enjoyed trying to copy along with his sisters. Nex playground is a great way for your kids to stay active, have fun, and laugh together. Definitely recommend this to families with children.

Ultimate Family Fun System
I bought this system as a Christmas gift for my 9-year-old son, with the hope it would be something the entire family could enjoy together. To ensure it worked well, I set it up during a New Year’s party with friends, and it quickly became the highlight of the evening. The setup process was incredibly simple, even for someone with minimal technical experience. I had it ready to go in no time, which reassured me that both my son and the rest of the family would have no trouble using it. The gameplay exceeded my expectations, with motion tracking that was highly accurate and responsive. Despite reading some reviews mentioning tracking issues, I experienced none of those problems. By following the provided guidelines—such as avoiding clothing that blends into the background, limiting the number of people on-screen, and steering clear of heavily patterned clothing—I was able to optimize the system’s performance. Everyone at the party, from kids to adults, had a blast, proving it’s not just for kids but perfect for family gatherings too. I’m excited to present this gift on Christmas morning, knowing it will bring joy to my son and create memorable experiences for the entire family. The system’s intuitive design, ease of use, and reliable performance far surpassed my expectations, making it a truly worthwhile purchase for family fun.
