Redux: The Original Glow in The Dark Capture the Flag Game | Ages 8+ | Outdoor Games for Kids and Teens | Birthday Gift | Party Games for Kids 8-12+ | Alternative to Laser Tag Guns and Flag Football

Product Information

One of the orbs fell apart the first time it was captured, and we lost the non-glowing portion in the darkness.

I would also suggest to play the game on flat ground, or short grass, the longer the grass the harder to setup.If a player throws the flag, but is blocked or intercepted by a player from the opposing team, the flag is placed back at the base. They sent me replacement parts for the part we broke and the defective part, plus a few extras with a hand written note from one of the employees. Great game for outdoors at night, but can also be played inside in a gymnasium, playground or any large venue during the day by turning off the lights and blocking any windows with paper.

The box says “batteries included” but they were drained in both orbs and many bracelets (big bummer). The kids ‘get it’ and know where the pieces go and there never has been any arguing like there is with other games. Being able to track the “flags” and all the kids without worrying about them running all around in the dark was pretty nice too. I like how the makers of this product will ship extra batteries right away when you register your product.

We had an issue with the older version where the bracelets were breaking but when the seller checked in and I mentioned the issue – it was addressed right away. I was excited about this game (my daughter requested it for an outdoor birthday party — COVID era…). For example, the flag could be hidden in the leaves up in a tall tree, and the players have to see the flag, then knock it out and bring it to their base. They have big plans to stretch their game perimeter this weekend to include several streets to make it more challenging. So far, the only issue we’ve had so far is that one of the orbs doesn’t seem to light up as bright as the other, but that’s a very minor issue.

We have the first version and we only used it a handful of times last season and the bracelets broke pretty easily. Because the ages of the boys were between 9-10 (and my one nephew who is 6), it was a bit unorganized, but the kids got so excited about having everything lit up. They loved the idea of lights, and they were intrigued by variations that the game’s author suggested.

The fact that it runs on batteries that can be replaced makes this a totally worthwhile investment (it would easily cost more if I had to pay for a group of kids to go somewhere and play this for a party event) because I know both my sons and their friends will use it over and over. Rating it 4 stars for now just because we haven’t gotten to play it yet since it’s frigid here in MO. Bracelets and balls stayed bright through an hour of play and some were left on and were bright the next day!

Complete set: Includes: Light-up Flags (red and blue), 3 Light-up Territory Markers, Light-up Jail Enclusores (red and blue), 10 Light-up Team Bracelets (5 red and 5 blue), assmebly and playing guide.We were limited to our backyard so 3 on 3 seem to work the best for our space and we just had kids rotate in and out. Worth 5 stars if bracelets are a bit more durable, flags are brighter and indicator lights are a bit bigger. Finally have a nice night to use it, opened the box and very disappointed to find that both orbs do not light up. I sent a quick e-mail to the seller and we had new ones within 2 or 3 days with two extra bracelets included for the inconvenience. With the older kids running full tilt and tagging, it can inadvertently get a little rough if younger kids are mixed with older kids.
