Another day of lock-in. The kids are actively looking for things to do other than work of course. Now as Easter is here and we have no eggs to go in search of, I’m pleased to have a fun sugar free Easter Egg Hunt alternative; Ultra Dash from Interplay. This isn’t just a game for Easter it’s good fun any time of year. It can be played outdoors and indoors so you don’t need to worry about the weather stopping you.
Toys and games that help encourage children to be active and move around are often popular with parents and I know you’re going to love this one! The best thing is this great game is one both kids and adults will enjoy.
Ultra Dash
How to Play
Ultra Dash is a fast-paced competitive game that thankfully doesn’t require any skill just 3 AAA batteries. That’s far fewer than I had expected. There are three different games that can be played by one or more players. Once a game has started you can’t add more players. To set up the game, place the five colourful targets around a room or garden. When playing the tagger will light up in different colours and the player needs to find the corresponding colour base and insert the tagger in until it registers. For added fun, you can add sweets or chocolate eggs onto bases to be collected when the tagger is placed in the bases. This is for ages 6+.
There are three different game modes:
(choose your game using the selection buttons 1,2 and 3)
1: Beat the Clock
The aim of the game is to race against the clock to hit each of the five targets as fast as possible.
2: Target Tally
First, choose the game length from 20 to 60 seconds, then see how many targets you can hit in that time.
3: Relay Race
This is a team v team game.
Organise players into teams then take turns hitting all the targets before passing on the tagger.
Tips
To make the games easier or harder adjust the distance between the targets.
For younger children make sure targets are closer together.
What Did We Think?
This is fantastic!
The game is great fun. It’s been thought out well and is a great way to get children and adults running around. It’s a really good way to help keep children active for school holidays, after school, lock-ins etc. All my children loved this – ages 5, 9 and 11 and I’m sure when my friends come over they’ll want to play too. It’s not just kids that know how to have fun!
The tagger is shaped for easy grip. The colouring of the targets is bold and bright, you won’t be missing those easily. Each component is well made and sturdy. It’s simple but so much fun the kids will be playing this for hours. We’ve been playing indoors and outdoors and the kids are showing no signs of losing interest.
How To Play Target Tally
Is this the sort of game you would buy for your children or as a gift for children? If so, why?

Me too. We love playing this. It’s helped with getting exercise during the weeks.
This sounds a really great game for our current circumstances – sounds a bit like kids version of orienteering. It looks like your family had a fab time playing the games.
Honestly, even without lockdown it’s great. We play indoors too!
This looks like really good fun and we’d like to try the relay race, or even try a bleep test with it so see how fit I am!

How cool! Bright, simple and lots of fun with exercise and fresh air to boot. Wonderful!
The games are nice and simple which means the little one can play too. He loves joining in with his sisters.
Oh my son has been asking for this for weeks, he thinks it is going to make him super speedy like on the advert
Ha, well practise will speed him up lol. Plus it’ll tire him out so it works for you.
This looks like so much fun and gets the kids moving in fresh air too – ideal for sunny spring days!
It really is a great game to play outdoors when sunny.
Think this will be a big hit here too – loads of fun
