Title: Fun and active!
Review: My 5 year old got this for his pre K graduation. I was a bit nervous because we don’t do video games or iPads because he has a super addictive personality. But he does great with this! It tires him out on rainy days and he’s not constantly begging for it. The games are cute. Some instructional, some very active. There are a ton of choices so he’s yet to get bored with it.

Title: Toddler-approved fun that beats the iPad any day!
Review: We just got this playground play system, and my toddler absolutely LOVES it! It’s been a huge win because they actually choose this over the iPad during playtime — a total game-changer for us.The system comes with 5 free games that are super engaging and age-appropriate. There’s an option to purchase more games, which is around $100 a year, but the free ones keep my little one entertained for hours.It’s sturdy, colorful, and easy to use, making it perfect for active play that encourages creativity and movement.If you’re looking for a fun, interactive toy that’s way better than screen time, this is definitely worth considering!

Title: Worth it! Great for families and kids
Review: Such a fun game system! My husband and I were looking for a way to get our kids more active during summer and came across this. Our 5 kids are ages 14, 11, 4, 2 and a baby. Obviously the baby doesn’t play, but there are games for the other kids. The annual membership is worth it and the variety of games keeps the family engaged. There are games rated for age preschool and beyond. Starri is by far our favorite game and the 4 year old is better at it than I am. The 2 year old can play it too. Is she good at it? Not really, but it gets her active and she has lots of fun. It has exercise games which has helped motivate my husband to work out and he has lost 25 pounds (not all due to the game system, but having easy access to work outs made him more motivated to have a healthier lifestyle). It has motivated me to exercise more and play more interactive games with the children as well.

Title: Great for family fun time!
Review: We bought the Nex Playground a few weeks ago, and it’s quickly become one of our favorite things in the house! My kids absolutely love it—it gets them off the couch and moving around, which is a huge win for me as a parent.The setup was super simple—just plug it into the TV, and it was ready to go. No controllers needed, which is amazing (no more losing them under the couch!). The camera tracks their movements really well, and the games are so fun and easy to play.Their favorites so far are Peppa Pig Jump & Giggle and Fruit Ninja. I even caught myself playing and breaking a little sweat! 😄 It’s also great knowing that the games are safe, age-appropriate, and don’t have ads or anything weird popping up.We did decide to get the Play Pass subscription to unlock more games, and honestly, it’s been worth it. There’s enough variety to keep things interesting, and they’re always adding more.Overall, I highly recommend the Nex Playground to any family with younger kids. It’s fun, active, and feels like guilt-free screen time!

Title: Fun, Active, and Screen-Time Guilt-Free!
Review: The Nex Playground has been a fantastic addition to our family time. It’s a compact device that connects to the TV and uses a built-in camera to track movements, turning our living room into an interactive play area. The setup was straightforward, and within minutes, we were playing games like Fruit Ninja and Whack-a-Mole. The best part is that it gets everyone moving no controllers needed.My kids, aged 4 and 7, are thoroughly engaged, and even the adults join in for some fun and light exercise. It’s especially great for indoor play during bad weather. The device comes with five starter games, and there’s an option to subscribe for more. Overall, it’s a worthwhile investment for active family entertainment.

Title: Family fun…great product 👍
Review: We recently purchased the Nex Playground for my family, and it’s been a hit with both kids and adults. This compact, AI-powered gaming system turns your living room into an interactive play zone, offering a refreshing twist on traditional video games. Unlike typical consoles that keep everyone glued to the couch, the Nex Playground uses motion-tracking technology to get players moving, laughing, and even working up a sweat—making it ideal for rainy days or lively family game nights.Setup and ExperienceThe setup couldn’t be simpler. You place the small device below your TV, connect it via HDMI, and you’re ready to play in minutes. The camera tracks movements accurately, handling multiple players without much confusion. The included games—like Fruit Ninja and Whack-a-Mole Deluxe—are intuitive and engaging, and my kids (ages 5 and 8) picked them up right away. Even my 3-year-old niece had fun with Peppa Pig: Jump and Giggle. While it’s designed for ages 5 and up, younger kids can still enjoy some of the activities with a little help.What I LoveThe standout feature is how it promotes physical activity. It’s a fantastic way to burn off energy indoors, and the whole family gets involved. The system is also private by design—no video is stored or uploaded, and it comes with a camera privacy cover, which I appreciate. Plus, it’s sleek, portable, and tucks neatly into our entertainment setup, making it easy to take to a friend’s house or store away.A Few DrawbacksThat said, there are minor hiccups. The camera can get thrown off if someone’s sitting directly behind the players, so spectators need to stay to the side. Also, the Starter Pack comes with five games, which is a solid start, but you’ll need the Play Pass subscription ($89/year) to unlock the full library of 30+ games. For families craving variety, it’s worth considering, though it does add to the cost.Value and Who It’s ForPriced fairly for what you get, the Nex Playground delivers a unique, active gaming experience that’s hard to find elsewhere. It’s perfect for families with kids, though adults can have just as much fun. Whether you’re hosting a playdate or looking for a way to entertain grandparents and grandkids together, this system shines.Final ThoughtsOverall, the Nex Playground earns a solid 4 stars from me. It’s fun, easy to use, and gets everyone off the couch—an absolute win for family bonding. Just clear some space, maybe throw down a yoga mat for comfort, and be ready to move! If you’re debating the Play Pass, I’d say go for it if your crew loves new challenges. This little device has quickly become a go-to in our home, and I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh take on gaming.Pro Tip: It makes a great gift for active families or anyone who enjoys interactive fun!

Review: As a gamer myself I had been looking for a console that could be my son’s first introductory system & Nex playground fits the bill perfectly. To me, it gives a mash up of Wii & Xbox Kinect vibes. It gets you up off the couch, which is great to burn off young kids energy. It comes with 5 games or you can get a subscription to gain access to a larger catalogue (which isn’t a turn off for me). Setup is easy & straight forward. Active Reddit page. Shipping was good/fast enough. Just remember if you are based in Australia like myself you will need to purchase an additional adaptor before you can use it (I got mine from Bunnings). Overall have been super happy with the system. No issues so far. Son is loving his Elmo game. Looking forward to seeing more game releases.
