Challenge your friends and family in four different fun-filled activities.
Line 4 – a two player strategy game to test your skill and get 4-in-a-row before your opponent does – using just your feet to control the game!
Snake – inspired by the classic mobile phone game, try your hand at this giant illuminated, dexterity game and race your opponent to win the most points.
Templar – memorise the patterns and repeat them by touching the giant glowing multi-coloured bulbs. Can you beat the computer?
Light Reflex – A brand new game. Can you keep up with the light-up pattern on the board and step in-time? Let’s see how fast you can step.
