Q: Do you have to buy the subscription to use it?

submitted by Sharper11 - 19 days ago
  • A: Yes you appear to need a subscription

    submitted byMama - 15 days ago
  • A: Based on the product information, a subscription is required to access the full game library. Customers generally have mixed views on the subscription model. Some find the yearly fee worthwhile for the variety of games offered. Others wish more games were included for the initial cost. The quarterly Play Pass subscription costs $49 while the annual subscription costs $89. This unlocks access to over 20 games beyond the 5 included titles. Several customers recommend getting the subscription for the best value and to access new game additions monthly. However, some reviewers wish more games were included for free initially before paying extra.

    submitted byGriffMi - 15 days ago
  • A: It appears you get a starter pack of games but if you want more, then yes, you will have to pay to subscribe.

    submitted byAnon - 15 days ago
  • A: No. The system comes with 5 starter games installed. The subscription pays for the entire game library + extras in other games.

    submitted byMiranda - 5 days ago
  • A: No you don't, it comes with 5 games (including Fruit Ninja) in the Starter Pack. Play Pass let you access the full catalog of 30+ games, with new game adding every month.

    submitted byBelle from Nex Playground - 16 days ago
  • A: Hi Sharper11, thanks for reaching out about Nex Playground The Active Play System. It includes 5 starter games; however, for other games, it does require a subscription.

Q: Do you need a cube for each person or can multiple people play with one unit?

submitted by Dixie - 28 days ago
  • A: It appears the cube’s wide angle camera will pick up to 4 players.

    submitted byAnon - 15 days ago
  • A: You only need one system. Some games are 1 player and some are up to 4. The games are all inside the cube so you only need one, but not every game can be played by multiple people.

    submitted byJen - 25 days ago
  • A: Hi Dixie, thanks for reaching out about the Nex Playground Active Play System. Up to four people can play on the Nex Playground at the same time. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Once you purchase the annual pass, can you download your favorite games? Will the games expire when your pass expires? Or will everything you download still be there after pass expiration?

submitted by Amanda - 14 days ago
  • A: I have one and you don’t download the games. You more so access them, so in that regard, I expect if you discontinue the subscription, you no longer have access to the games in the subscription. I find it worth it and now everyone in our extended family wants one, but they’re sold out everywhere.

Q: What age is this system suitable for? Can a 2yr old and 4yr old play games on this device?

This little cube is a must have now that the weather is getting colder. I just bought it (Thanks Target Black Friday) and joined the Facebook group as well. The Facebook group is very active and the community is supportive with questions. The Cofounder and CEO has responded to me several times and is always willing to answer questions the community members have. I'm excited to see this community grow.

AveryMonroe - 14 days ago, Verified purchaser
I really wanted to like this but the comment about false movements is my experience as well; especially with the basketball. Syncing the camera with children outside of the preschool games is challenging and overall it's a good idea but not worth the cost even with it on sale. And the game catalog isn't worth 89 dollars

This system was very easy to setup. My wife and I bought it for our granddaughter who absolutely loves it. Her favourite game is Fruit Ninja.The only thing e would suggest to ours local Target is to set up a larger area so customers can play the demo in the store. This product is grandparent approved!

I have four kids (8 and under) and Nexplayground is saving my life in these indoor months. My 4 and 7 year old love to play these games and my 7 year old has no problem navigating through the games and playing. There is a great selection of games, it can be played solo or multiplayer - which I love and they are adding games to library which is so fun!

The Nex playground system is a hit in our home! My kids are 4,2, and 2 and each of them are able to access multiple games…and of course my husband and I. We love how inclusive and accessible the Nex playground system is all ages and how relevant the games are to this generation.

My 4year old loves this, it keeps him entertained while I am able to get things done around the house. Also the games are a great family activity, our 2 year old even likes engaging from the side lines. Nex Playground is something that I know we will have for years because it’s got games for all ages.

I bought an NEX playground for my 5 year old son and he loves it. His favorite games are Fruit Ninja and the games in Active Arcade. I love that the NEX games keep him moving, and that they keep developing new games for the console. The NEX has made playdates at our house a big hit. Their customer service is also fantastic! 10/10 recommend.

The best investment for ASD & ADHD kids!

Crystal D. - 4 months ago

I found this on FB and purchased it to provide something for my boys (10 y/o w/ASD & 13 y/o w/ADHD) to do when it’s 100+ degrees outside. If we don’t give them something constructive to do with their time, they find ways to turn our lives into chaos… they LOVED this! It kept them active & entertained for over 8 hours the first day. There are so many games that their thirst to explore them all kept them engaged in healthy, fun & active activities all day! There’s one controller that is used to begin & then their body is their controller. No fighting over accessories, no accessories to get damaged during play, it’s the best thing since the Wii but with many more benefits, because they aren’t just sitting playing video games. Every game is an active activity & some are learning adventures too! I’m looking forward to the future developments of this product & the integration of more entertaining learning activities. This should be purchased by every home, school, day care, grandparents, etc… we can’t love it enough! And keeping it affordable with one annual subscription for full access to all games current & future… you’ve got a customer for life! The only thing I wish we could do is purchase additional devices to use on the same subscription, so that we could have one at each grandparents house too. They don’t spend enough time there to make an additional subscription needed but we also don’t want to keep disconnecting/setting it up & then doing that again back home, whenever we visit somewhere else or go on vacation. It would be great if we could buy the devices for the different locations & then just log in to our account when we’re there. I have already share with family & friends and on our social media accounts. This is definitely the best ‘video game’ option for kids these days!
