Wild Planet comes up with some wonderful toys from spy gear to science kits, and this toy is no exception. Hyper Dash is a game that incorporates four different possibilities for play into one simple game. Speed, skill, memory, coordination and teamwork are challenged with the different skill level/play options available.

The box contains the bell-shaped, hand-held Hyper Dash base unit and five target discs in different colors with numbers on them. The Hyper Dash base calls out commands based on the difficulty level selected. The easiest option requires color identification, the next is number and color recognition with an increase in call/command speed.

The third level of play adds a variety of calls to increase coordination. The most complex level requires some basic math skills with calls such as “four minus one” to lead the players to the correct number target.

The game may be set up inside or outside, which offers a great activity at the park as well as an active indoor rainy-day game. The targets may be set up close together or very far apart depending on the player preference, and the game may be played in teams or with as little as one player.
