I own a game truck, the Nex is a huge hit with the younger kids

My kids love it. Fruit ninija game you play like playing in the real world.

Really engaging for the family. Looking forward to trying more games. Easy to setup!

Such a great system so much family time and friendly competition. My kids and my husband and I love it we sit in the living room no longer to watch tv but to playground.

Received it in the time it said and my kids love it recommend it for kids and adults lol nice small and easy to put away

Cool system, cool games, but this sytem is not for kids under 10. Unless you want to be frustrated, your kids screaming and crying and you wondering why the heck you spent $200 to feel like this DONT BUY FOR KIDS UNDER 10. Even the games that are supposed to be easy for kids are by far the hardest for them to try and understand! Really upset, but oh well, i have until June to return it.

I cannot say enough good things about the Nex Playground — this little cube has completely transformed how our family spends quality time together! Setup was a breeze. Literally took us about 5 minutes from unboxing to playing our first game. Just plug it into the TV via HDMI, connect to Wi-Fi, and you're off and running. The compact 3x3x3 inch cube is sleek and unobtrusive; it fits perfectly on our entertainment center without taking up valuable space. The motion tracking is absolutely mind-blowing. I was skeptical that a controller-free system could actually work well, but this AI-powered camera blew me away. It tracks our movements flawlessly — no wristbands, no handheld controllers, no hassle. The kids can jump, duck, punch, and dance, and the system picks up every single motion. It tracks up to 18 points on your body, and I honestly can't find any noticeable lag or missed inputs. Our kids absolutely LOVE it. Ages 6 and 9 in our house, and they're obsessed. The bundled games like Fruit Ninja got them hooked immediately, but when we subscribed to the Play Pass and they discovered the Bluey games? Forget about it — instant favorites! The licensed content (TMNT, How to Train Your Dragon) keeps them coming back for more. Screen time I can actually feel GOOD about. This is the big one for me as a parent. Instead of them sitting on the couch zombified, they're jumping, moving, and genuinely exercising while gaming. They break a sweat! We now have "family Nex nights" and even my husband and I join in for multiplayer sessions with up to 4 players. It's hilarious and heart-pumping. Privacy matters, and Nex gets it. I was initially hesitant about having a camera in my living room, but I love that it doesn't store any video footage and includes a magnetic privacy cover. Peace of mind is priceless. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just pure, uninterrupted fun. In today's age of games constantly trying to nickel-and-dime kids, this is SO refreshing. Bottom Line: The Nex Playground is worth every single penny. It's innovative, family-friendly, promotes active play, and is genuinely FUN for all ages. It's no wonder this thing has been flying off shelves and outselling major consoles! If you're looking for something that brings your family together and gets everyone moving, stop reading reviews and just buy it. You won't regret it! Best purchase we've made all year.

The Nex Playground is a fantastic idea. Turning any space into an interactive playground has so much potential. It comes with a set of games however, you will need to subscribe to download more games. My kids were initially thrilled with the concept, and it did provide some fun and active moments. One thing I love about this is that I feel less guilty about my kids playing games. However, there are some significant issues that impacted our experience: Tracking Challenges: The tracking isn't very accurate. It often misses movements or misinterprets them, leading to frustration for my kids. Height Restrictions: The Nex Playground seems to struggle with recognizing and responding to smaller children. My kids (5 and 3) had a particularly hard time getting it to work consistently for certain games. Background Interference: The system frequently locked onto people who were simply sitting and watching in the background. This disrupted the gameplay and made it difficult for my kids to stay engaged. Limited amount of games and no ability to purchase individual games: They provide 6 games out of the box but does not allow you to purchase any games. You will need to subscribe to the Play Pass in order to play other games. Overall, the Nex Playground has great potential, but it needs some refinement. Improved tracking, better height recognition, and the ability to filter out background interference would make a huge difference. I hope to see these issues addressed in future updates.

I bought this game system to play with my family and visiting relatives over the thanksgiving holiday. It was an instant hit. Setup was relatively simple and the games were fun for young and old. Everyone had an amazing time. we also got a fair amount of exercise which felt great. This was one of the best game related purchases I have made. I am not surprised that this system has sold just about everywhere since its release. Get if you can you will not be disappointed.

Really love this small motion gaming console. Fun, repeatable games safe for the whole family and young kids, most often really great for 1-2 players at a time and some games supporting 1-4 players as well. Great for kids to burn off excess energy and get some healthy exercise in, and something I've been incorporating into my morning workout routine as well as there's a great music rhythm game and some exercise-specific games as well. Love how none of these games require a controller - you use a remote to navigate the menu and select games but once you're in a game most of them can be entirely controlled with body motion alone. The console comes with 5 games in the box and you need a quarterly or monthly subscription to access the rest of the content but with 22+ games for only $90 a year for the annual plan it really feels like a steal. I bought this with same day shipping in the morning and got it delivered to me in less than 5 hours. Did not know that was possible. Wow!

NEX Playground is hands-down the best gaming system we've ever owned. It has amazing, quality games that are completely controller-free. I love that the kids can't fight over controllers, they can just play with their hands and jump in and play! There are games for all ages and it's even fun for adults and toddlers! All of my kids are obsessed. It does an incredible job of recognizing movements in real-time speed. I haven't even gotten to the best part yet, which is that it gets my kids up and moving! No sitting on the couch, no staring down at tablets. I can't say enough good things. Everyone needs one of these for Christmas!!!

We bought this for our 3 year old for Christmas. It was easy to set up and provided fun for everyone is the house.

Looking for a video game you can play with your kids this is the one. Set up is very easy and the games don't require you to remember any buttons you use your body to make all the action happen. My young kids love that they can just jump in and play a game with me!

What a great game system for the whole family. I added the play pass to get all the games it is really a lot of fun. I highly recommend this system for a fun time and getting everyone up off the couch. Hands free great exercise for all ages.

If you want to buy something for kids when they can't go outside to play. This is the best option. They have so many games and yes its a work out also. You have your water bottle ready lol and lot of energy. This game system will have you tired and the kids.

Absolutely a great time. We got this as a Christmas gift for our 5yr as a fun family bonding experience and we love it. At first, we were eyeing getting a Wii from Facebook market, but decided to bite the bullet on this. Its interactive, educational, and a great form of exercise! The basic version has 5 great games, but the annual play pass subscription in our opinion is totally worth it. The competitions are never ending in this household now. Lots of smiles and laughs. The tracking can sometimes be hit or miss and some games do get "stuck", but there is a nice "refresh" button or "reset tracking" that usually does the trick. For parents, the boxing and fitness programs in the play pass will get you sweating. I for sure include this in my daily workouts when I want to get some movement in.

The system was easy to set up and gameplay has been smooth so far. With the 5 included games, we had hours of fun. The optional play pass subscription is worth it if you compare it with other gaming systems and you don't have to mess with switching cartridges or disks. There is an included remote, but I was able to use my Samsung remote as well to navigate through the screens. The included magnetic camera cover is also great for added privacy. Perfect for young kids and families!

Very good buy.. allows kids to involve in more active play.. kids love it..

Great system for kids not into traditional systems. There are games available for the whole family and the system is easy to navigate for the little kids. This is a better version of the old school Wii.

This Playgroound system was a total hit for my grandson this Christmas. He loves the games and enjoys beating his PaPa and Grammy every chance he gets. The games are age appropriate and include some physical activity, which helps us all. I’m impressed with this technology and how it “sees” the players and performs based on their movements. There are many games available and switching between games is simple. This system has been used many hours since Christmas and will continue to serve as a way to keep my 5 year old grandson engaged and active for many years. What a great concept! Family game night just got a new option. I highly recommend this system!
