Features & Description
If you read almost any science fiction book youâll invariably find a section of the story that deals with mind control and moving objects, which is known in scientific circles as telekinesis. The ability to move objects with your mind has long been the subject of great interest, but it seemed as though the only way that this would ever happen was in the far distant future. Game designers at Mattel, however, decided that the future was actually now.Now itâs possible to move things simply with your mind, thanks to the new technology that can be found in the MindFlex game. This is a game like no other. It is not a game where you move objects along a board racing to the finish, or where you have to beat an opponent. In this unique game, the player is trying to move a foam ball around the board and through various obstacles using nothing but their mind.
How it Works
Skeptics of this title believe that the ball is only moved due to the moveable fan nozzle that holds the ball up in the air. The nozzle, however, is actually controlled by the human mind. Players put a headset on which has a forehead sensor that rests above the left eyebrow and clips that attach to the earlobes. These accessories allow the game to read the brain waves that you are sending out. It reads the brain waves and changes them into information that the game board can understand, which corresponds with the ball moving up, down, and around the board.
The Positives
MindFlex is a truly unique game for children and adults alike. The fact that you are playing only with the power of your mind is something very fun to play with, and you can select different games and keep track of your scores.
The Negatives
The only bad thing about the new MindFlex game is that it is not really a multiplayer game. Players can take turns playing and seeing who can get the best score, but it is not a game where two players can play simultaneously. This, however, doesnât take away from the absolute uniqueness of this highly technological game, nor does it make it any less enjoyable to play. Even adults can enjoy playing this game and using it as a party game. Overall, the MindFlex reviews have been very positive.
Mindflex--featuring a headset that reads your brain waves and a levitating foam ball--is the kind of game that must be seen to be believed. Recommended for players aged eight and older, the game begins when you put on the headset so you can use your powers of concentration to move the ball around the game console and through a mind-bending obstacle course. A dial-in console lets you to keep the ball lifted on a cushion of air, but raising and lowering the ball must be accomplished by alternating concentrating and relaxing your mind.
Headset Measures your Brain Waves
Tired of games that depend on the roll of a die or lucky draw? With the help of advanced technology, Mindflex introduces a whole new way to play--by using the power of your mind!
You'll feel like a character in a science fiction movie as you put on the headset, connect the clips to your ear lobes, and align the metal forehead sensor just above your left eyebrow. But even this strange accessory won't prepare you for the sight of a foam ball quivering five inches above the game console!
Move the Ball with the Power of your Mind
Skeptics will be quick to point out that the console's moveable fan nozzle holds the ball aloft on a cushion of air. However, as players learn to alternately focus and relax their minds, the ball will respond by rising and falling. An instruction manual provides various concentration and relaxation techniques to try such as math problems or visualization and practice exercises.
Once you feel like you've mastered the art of telekinesis, you can test your mental acuity with five challenging games designed for groups of one to four players. Use the game console to select your game, set the difficulty level, and track your scores.
Design a Mind-Bending Obstacle Course
A variety of hoops, hurdles, funnels, and a teeter-totter can be positioned however you choose on the game console. Players use their minds to move the ball under, over, or through the obstacles. Several games test speed, while another challenges players to lift a ball up and through a funnel, shooting it across the game console to score points.
While Mindflex's advanced technology is sure to intrigue, mastering the games may prove difficult for some. Because concentration techniques will vary from person to person, the game rewards patience and a willingness to experiment. Fans of mazes and brain teasers will appreciate the mental challenge, and creative types will like designing the obstacle courses.
Mindflex's game console requires four "C" batteries (not included), and the headset requires three "AAA" batteries (not included). The four foam balls should be handled with care to keep their ability to levitate. Fortunately, the game console features an inner compartment for safe ball storage.
