Product Information

More than half of the plastic bracelets cracked in half and the on/off switch to one of the “flags” broke.

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. I bought Capture the Flag REDUX for a boy scout overnight camping trip to Antelope Island, a desert island in the Great Salt Lake. The manufacturer did a great job providing everything you need for it to really feel like you’re in a video game (LED boundary markers, jail markers, the orbs (flags), and bracelets for every play (16!citation needed] If the flag is thrown to a teammate but hits the ground before it can be caught, the flag is placed from the spot of the throw. They would have played longer but it was very hot and humid that night so everyone was tired and sweaty. We would have brought it out sooner had we known we didn’t have to place it all in the sun to charge it. Everything worked, and I’m impressed with the company follow-up after purchasing to assure that all pieces arrived and were working properly. Don’t worry too much if it does, because they will send you replacement parts really quickly and for free.

Can’t speak to the durability over time, but already dead pieces upon opening doesn’t leave me with hope to use more than once. We’ll get lots of use of it through the winter months and then can spread out outdoors when it warms up. I can tell you that I am no way in shape, all had a blast and it brought me back to my glory days as a kid.We found the light up flags to be the best feature of this game, but really did not need all of the other light-up parts.

Also noticed there is a bit of a rattle to it when you shake it, but it went from a faint glow to no glow now even with new batteries. citation needed] Throwing the flag is allowed in this variation, as long as the flag is caught before it hits the ground. We were trying to hack together a game of capture the flag using glow sticks and glow-in-the-dark spraypaint when we stumbled across this product.For the glow in the dark game you will need 2 large glow sticks that are differeent colors for each teams flag.

We bought this game for our 12 year old son for Christmas to help him get off video games and play outside with his friends. Competitors steal flags either from other competitors (attack/defense-style CTFs) or from the organizers (jeopardy-style challenges). The only issue I had with it was that a few of the bracelets kept coming apart on the opposite side during the game.Kids 7 through teens played and had to be dragged inside with the promise of cake to get them to stop! Finally have a nice night to use it, opened the box and very disappointed to find that both orbs do not light up.
