What owners report

  • “We’ve had ours for two years now and my kids love it. They play it every weekend and when friends come over. They love the new games and it’s great for family time. My kids are 7 and 9 so I believe this is the right age for it and works better when it’s not just one person playing.”

  • “[...] Subscription isn't bad either since you'd have full access to a variety of games and updates and the games would be better quality then a packed cube of prefilled pacman old style games. [...] I think Nex Playground would be great for a family with young kids just getting interested in games being that it's much safer than any that have been around. Great idea, and wish Nex Playground success. [...]”

  • “I purchased one on sale too but it cost me 250 plus taxes from Walmart and a subscription cost me around $80 for 3 months only it was fun playing for the first month or two but my child has lost interest and she has only played one game and that's the mirror game so I don't think it's worth paying another $80 for 3 months or $120 plus tax for a year. And now that I see the price is going up to $ 299 I'm possibly thinking of selling it.”

  • “Opened up the Nex Playground I bought for the girls’ Christmas from Amazon back in late November and it doesn’t include the power cable, controller or lens cover. This is… disappointing to say the least.”
