Mattel Mindflex- Alliterations Are Easier After You Have Played The
Mindflex Game !
The Mattel Mindflex Game could well be a popular toy/game this Christmas as it has a
number of elements going for it.
The first is that it looks like a great toy. It has plenty of elements that will capture the imagination of any
kid (or kid at heart). Not least, the levitating ball is sure to have the wow factor with kids. Especially when
they find out that this levitating is controlled by the power of their mind (well some of it is anyway). For me
that is an essential element of any toy that becomes popular. It has to spark the imagination and want the child to
learn more about it.
The second element is that it is a fairly enjoyable and compelling game. Everyone loves an obstacle course, be
it physically running round, up and over all sorts of real obstacles. Or a course that you might find on a board
game, where your token goes to jail, goes up a ladder or walks to the conservatory (can you spot the board games
?).
Well, Mindflex is pretty much along a similar vein. It is an obstacle course in which the player must maneuver a
foam ball round the course. This is timed and there are various points lost for missing or failing to negotiate a
particular obstacle. The person with the best combination of time and points is the winner. Or you can simply play
against yourself and try to improve your personal best. There are also levels of difficulty to keep the interest or
challenge up.
The unique aspect of the Mindflex game is that the player uses their brainwaves to move the foam ball. Sounds
out of this world ? Well according to Mattel and plenty of enthralled players it is not.
The game comes with a headset that is worn by the player. The headset monitors the brainwaves and send them back
to the game console. The power and intensity of these brainwaves can influence the flight and direction of the
ball.
And this is were the third success element comes in. It's kind of educational. Kids (and adults) will love the
game play. Their parents will like the idea that it has some merit. It's not just a blastem up game but encourages
children to use their mind. The literature that comes with the game claims that it can help you concentrate. It
also claims that practicing mental exercises like mathematical problems can improve your performance when
playing Mindflex. So the implication is that if the child likes the game enough, he/she will try to improve their
mental abilities by doing the exercises suggested in the manual/literature. The toy is devised to be suitable fro
children 8 years and over. Batteries are needed for the game to work (not included).
So kids will love the game and their parents will see the merit of it...a surefire winner. Get Mattel Mindflex today..it may even help you to form natural alliterations if you work at
it.
