The headset of Mindflex reads your brain waves and a levitating foam ball–is the kind of game that must be seen to be believed. It is recommended for players aged eight and older, you begin the game when you strap on the headset and use your powers of concentration to move the ball around the game console and through a mind-bending obstacle course. Raising and lowering the ball must be accomplished by alternating concentrating and relaxing your mind, but a dial-in console lets you to keep the ball lifted on a cushion of air.
Headset Measures your Brain Waves
You’ll feel like a character in a science fiction movie as you strap on the headset, connect the clips to your ear lobes, and align the metal forehead sensor just above your left eyebrow. But even this strange accessory won’t prepare you for the sight of a foam ball quivering five inches above the game console!
Move the Ball with the Power of your Mind
Skeptics will be prompt to point out that the console’s moveable fan nozzle holds the ball aloft on a cushion of air. However, as players learn to alternately focus and relax their minds, the ball will respond by rising and falling. An instruction manual provides various concentration and relaxation techniques to try such as math problems or visualization and practice exercises.
Design a Mind-Bending Obstacle Course
When you choose on the game console, a variety of hoops, hurdles, funnels, and a teeter-totter can be positioned. Players use their minds to move the ball under, over, or through the obstacles. Several games test speed, while another challenges players to lift a ball up and through a funnel, shooting it across the game console to score points.
Mastering the games may prove difficult for some, while Mindflex’s advanced technology is sure to intrigue. Because concentration techniques will vary from person to person, the game rewards patience and a willingness to experiment. Fans of mazes and brain teasers will appreciate the mental challenge, and creative types will like designing the obstacle courses.
The console of Mindflex require four “C” batteries (not included), and the headset requires three “AAA” batteries (not included). The four balls must be handled with care so that they are able to levitate. The good thing is, the game console features an inner compartment for safe ball storage.
