Swinxs: Family Fun for All

Swinxs, a new innovation in family-friendly fun and entertainment, has finally reached U.S. stores.  What is Swinxs?  It’s a screen-free game console that promotes both fun and educational play.  It promotes games like musical chairs, tag and relay.

The Swinxs talks and explains games as well as recognizing players and refereeing the games. I can’t think of how many times I’ve wanted a referee for games played in our backyard.  Each player wears a certain color bracelet that the Swinxs recognizes.

While playground classic are preloaded into the Swinxs, you can also download from a free and expanding library of online games.  The Swinxs was designed by Khodi Feiz, the tech designer behind Nokia phones.

Here’s a great video showing the Swinxs in use:
