I work with AR and VR for work and this really a great headset. It's a real augmented reality headset that allows you too see your surrounding and and the game at the same time. The hardware isn't made for iPhones as large as my iPhone XR, but it still worked.

Read the positive reviews and am a huge SW fan so went with the purchase. So glad I did. So much fun to play and the different types of games are all equally great. Nothing like firing off the lightsaber and deflecting blaster fire back at some Stormtroopers. :)

I was excited about this purchase. Upon unboxing, the lightsaber looked awesome! The headset looked descent. I figured out how to place my iPhone 7plus in the headset, downloaded the app and ran into problems. The whole deal just didn’t work as expected and it wasn’t actually playable. I returned immediately. Maybe a few years down the road they will have the tech it takes to make this type of product fun

Pretty cool device based on the Pepper’s ghost method. Works really well with my iPhone 8+. Wish it had more activities. The app is quite large to download.

You don't have to be an avid Star Wars fan to enjoy this game, but it definitely helps. I was sooo excited to get my hands on this because I'm a huge fan! It's an incredible feeling to be able to put yourself into the Star Wars world!
I have an iPhone 7 plus, and using it with the device was quite easy. Set up and instructions were clear and understandable. I noticed a reviewer raised a concern around the heat and the phone? I played for ~30 minutes and didn't notice my phone getting that hot (no more than when I'm watching Netflix and whatnot).
The games are well executed -- graphics, next steps, storyline, conclusion, etc. It is so fun to play and a good arm workout (or maybe I just don't have any arm strength lol). It's nice to actually use a lightsaber, and not have to worry about hurting anyone -- really living out my childhood dreams hahaa
I think this is going to be THE holiday present of the season and it comes just in time for the next movie!! I would DEFINITELY recommend this to a friend (and strangers)!

Ok, lets get it out of the way first; YES, the lightsaber is awesome if you can find this kit for $39. It's worth that just for the cosplay aspect of having a nice saber. BUT, the game gets VERY OLD, VERY FAST with very little desire for replay. I got bored after about 15 minutes and never picked it back up, so I returned it. Cool idea, but boring. Reeaalllyyy boring...

Bought this for a 9 y/o for Christmas. Down side is - he has to use my phone to play it. Up side is he loves it and is very active playing it. Definitely works up a sweat, usually plays it for 2 plus hours before his legs start to get tired. Great game for the money.

It takes sometime to get used to all of the features. It is a good game. It would be better if you could play other VR games with the headset.

Headset could be a lot lighter and more comfortable. I would like to have more accurate controls. Despite everything, I love it and my son loves it.

You may want to try re-adjusting the headset. The best way to adjust the Star Wars Jedi Challenges headset is to: place the unit on your head and then adjust the two side straps first. Then adjust the top strap until the headset is at a good height and feels comfortable to you.. Please make sure that you are using a compatible phone. It is very important that the phone you will be using for the Star Wars: Jedi Challenges is on the compatible list, otherwise the hologram images may not be as the developer intended. Please find the updated list of phones at jedichallenges.com/compatibility .Please make sure that the compatible phone is out of the headset when setting the system up for the first time. Then, when prompted insert the phone into the tray and then into the headset. It is very important when setting up the system for the first time to use the "app" that is provided to guide you through the entire set up process.

Pretty cool but the novelty wears off kind of soon. Is a little bit quirky to use and fighting the guy one and one doesn't work overly well

Purchased this for my 13 yr old son. The game is fun and quite interactive. After you master the setup and find an open dark space to play, you’ll be hooked.

Imagine Jedi Challenges as a Jedi training simulation. That's the tone of the hologram-type imagery and the various level designs, which ramp up in three difficulties across a variety of different planetary themes.

Great product - but make sure you read the supported phones on the back. I didn't realize it wasn't compatible with my phone, but it worked with my sons - which was great. Fantastic views and the Augmented Reality is really cool. Lightsaber is high quality hilt.

Really fun but it unfortunate does not work with the Note6. Luckily I had an iPhone around to give this a go. It was a gift for a friend who has a note6 and upon trying to fit the phone we found it was incompatible due the the size of the phone.

My kids really wanted this for Christmas. I don't think it's worth the regular price, but the Black Friday deal was too good to pass up.
