It's the electronic game that's as fast as you are. Test your speed and agility in a race against time using five targets and an electronic handheld unit. To start, set up your targets on the table, around the room, around the house or throughout the yard. Then, follow the announcer's commands as you zip around your racecourse to tag your targets with the handheld unit. The fastest time wins. Features four game modes that challenge your speed, skill, memory, coordination and teamwork. Includes ergonomically designed Hyper Dash unit and five labelled targets. Requires 3 "AAA" batteries, not included. Measures 4.5"L x 12"W x 10"H.

Summary: a hit with 8 year olds
Comment: Bought this for my son's 8th birthday. He and 2 other 8 year old boys played it and loved it. We've played it inside and out. A nice alternative to video games!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great fun, it didn't break after 4 months
Comment: For any technical details and minutia, I suggest that you look up Amazon's official review because I could not possibly be as thorough or as knowledgeable.
Now, this is what I can say from my own perspective: we have 2 pre-tween boys, one 5 yr. old girl, 2 dogs and about a dozen kids living in the neighborhood and showing up just about every day in the summer for the pool and the trampoline. We bought this from Amazon back in May and everyone loved it, including the dogs. So, for most of this summer, whenever they decided to play Hyper Dash, we were having the kids running around as directed, the dogs running after the kids and myself, trying to focus on the stuff I was supposed to be studying (for an exam). Based on other reviews, the game can be played indoors as well. We never allowed it but, as the weather turns colder, we may allow them to play in the basement whenever they get together for some fun.
Now, talking about things the kids 'learn'... let's not exaggerate :). Sure, there is a level of the game where the kid has to compute 3-2 quickly but, come on, there's not A LOT to learn. It's mostly physical and that's how the kids play it and it's good this way. They ARE running a lot but do not expect to see better grades in school.
What you do not see in the Amazon official review it's the durability factor. I am pleased to state that, after 4 months and, probably 20-30 hours of play, nothing broke yet. I expect the game to be still unbroken after one year.

Summary: Fun, Fun, Fun! Great rainy day activity
Comment: This is a simple but very fun game. You can put the targets close or move them further apart to get moving more. The is a great rainy day game and will keep them happy and busy for at least an hour then they will be ready to chill for a while.

Summary: Great physical and memory building toy
Comment: Simple enough and just like the title says, gives you exercise of mind and body with loads of fun!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: grandkids all ages love it
Comment: The first delivery fizzled within hours of opening the package. BUT,
Amazon agreed to expedite and ship replacement immediately along with a free return mailer for the first one. Kids aged 4 up to 11, and all adults have been enjoying the variety of educational games available on this incredible toy for weeks now. And none of the kids has commented on the fact that they are getting lots of exercise as a bonus.
We'll be buying several as Holiday gifts for the families on our list.
