The game, for kids six to eleven can easily be enjoyed by the entire family and provides a fun way to gets kids and grown-ups away from the solitary and inactive games that they may be playing on the computer daily.

The controller of the Wild Planet Hyper Dash game is shaped like a hand-held plunger. It is brightly colored and has a micro-chip and radio transmitter that enables the person holding it to grab one of the five brightly colored and number disks. These disks provide the activity for the game and can be placed up to one hundred feet apart. There is a radio transmitter and receiver in each so an individual must pick up the correct disk for the controller to acknowledge a score. The disks can be placed under or behind objects to make the game even more fun for the players.

There are several modes for playing. A child may easily select the individual play mode and the controller will keep time and score for retrieving the disks correctly. There is also a mode for pairs play. The controller keeps score for each player and the commands are given separately for players responding. The team mode allows up to eight people to play in a relay mode. The controller keeps score for teams or individuals in this mode. The Wild Planet Hyper Dash game provides players with the opportunity to be physically active while increasing their memory and educational skill levels. Parents find that playing this game together is a wonderful way to teach children about playing, learning, and working together.

For younger children learning their colors, or older children who need to increase their memory skills, level 1 provides this opportunity. Players must retrieve specifically colored disks identified by the controller. When the disks have been hidden a player may be commanded to find a yellow, blue, green, orange, or red disk and are timed as they retrieve them.

The second level of Wild Planet Hyper Dash provides uses the numbers one through five to teach number skills. Players must retrieve the disk that the controller identifies and receives points for getting the right disk. When the wrong disk is selected the controller tells the player what the number is that has been selected and what the number is that must be retrieved. This provides further assistance with increasing recognition and memory for young children.

The controller provides multiple commands in the third level of Wild Planet Hyper Dash. Players are asked to retrieve multiple disks based on randomly selected numbers and colors. The command may have the player retrieve the disks in the order commanded or in reverse order. There may be a double reverse command which includes retrieving two disks in reverse order then a triple reverse which will require retrieval of three disks in reverse order.

The highest level of Wild Planet Hyper Dash increases both memory and a player’s subtraction and addition skills. Players are provided problems by the controller which must be solved. The answer is on one of the disks, which the player must find and retrieve. When disks have been hidden the player must also remember where the disks are as they are solving the problem.
