Product description
Concentration, configuration, problem-solving, and mapping out steps are some of the most important skills an individual can possess. You could teach your child these skills and more with the games and activities you choose for them. It is crucial to introduce children to memory and brain games that will help them develop quick thinking alongside games and activities that help them develop physically. The sooner they learn to use their brains, the easier it will get for them as they grow older. To assist with achieving that part of child development and more, Amazon presents Winning Fingers' Flashdash. However, it is not only kids who need such games. As adults, we sometimes need them too.
Flashdash cube is an electronic game that challenges the brain and fingers for kids (from 6 years) and adults to enhance brain skills and hand-eye coordination. Brain skills include some of the brain's core functions, such as thinking, reading, learning, retaining information, and paying attention. They are crucial in solving problems, making decisions, and remembering tasks, among other things. Hand-eye coordination helps to track the movements of the hands with the eyes to effectively and efficiently use our hands based on what we see. On the same hand, sometimes adults want to spend time by themselves away from the crowds, anything related to work, television, social media, and the likes. A good choice of games and other activities can help sharpen their minds, distress and keep them entertained. This small cube offers them that too.
The Flashdash cube offers four exciting quick-fingered games based on flashing lights in a unique light-up cube design to challenge and improve your memory and speed. It is perfect for home when your child does not have play dates. It can also keep you or your child entertained when traveling or in a waiting room. You will require three AAA batteries (not included). The cube has fun sound effects for each game and has an adjustable volume. There is an option to mute the sound effects entirely if you want to enjoy the game in a peaceful and quiet environment.
This product has two speed games, Chase Me and Catch Me. The former requires you to race the moving light with your fingers by pressing the buttons while rotating the cube. You are not supposed to let the moving light get out of your sight. With Catch Me, you quickly press the flashing red lights before time runs out while avoiding green lights and grabbing some 'bonus' blue lights! There are also two memory games, Follow Me and Remember Me. When playing Follow Me, you memorize and match the correct pattern of colors and lights from side to side to win. Remember Me is reminiscent of the classic 'Simon Says'. The game flashes light sequences for you to memorize and repeat. Flashdash is easy to learn but hard to master. The cube's electronic games are a fair challenge for most people - not too easy or too hard. When done playing, you can press the LIGHT SHOW button to enjoy a fun display of flashing lights.
But, Flashdash can be addictive like other games. You might need to keep your child in check to ensure that they make time for other activities. You also need to ensure that your child does not play the games when taking walks and crossing the road to avoid accidents. Limit usage to safe places. Kids might also get frustrated if they are not doing as well as they thought they would. Winning Fingers make every piece with the utmost care and quality control. If you do not love their handheld game, contact them to get your money back.

I just love it. -14-year-old son that has autism. Doesn't like to play with so many devices, but when I got him this for his birthday. It was like something he couldn't even put down. Very simple toy easy manual and at some point you don't even need to read the manual. It is basically common sense. Wonderful memory game.

First one didn't work but it was easily returnable other than the minor hassle of packing it up. The second one works well. There are four different types of games and what I like about most of them is that they take very little brain power. It gives me a chance to empty my mind and destress. Another aspect of the games I like is that they can't be won. Players go as far as they can and that's it. Everyone in the house likes to play it so I'd say it's worth it's price. We shall see about durability and longevity though.
