Great for the kids, family, and a fun workout for adults.
My 3 year old and 7 year old love it, our 18 month old wants to play too. The Peppa pig and bluey games were definitely a big selling point for us, and they are fun. However I do wish you could set it to just keep playing the same bluey/Peppa game instead of it going into the next one (it's possible you can and I just haven't figured it out, but I don't think so). I also like the fitness games for myself, not a big fan of zumba type stuff, but I really like the boxing game for myself. It has different levels and time frames you can set it to. And it's not just punching, there's all kind of ducking and blocking too so your really getting a decent little work out that doesn't feel like work. And of course, it keeps the kids moving. My 7 year old has ADHD and ASD, his big thing is tech. We don't want to get him a "regular" game console until he's older (and the toddler won't break it), but this is a really great compromise. He loves the brick blocker, and fruit ninja. I've been having him play a little bit in the mornings sometimes before school to get him out of that foggy-groggy morning head. That and some music on the way to school has really improved his mornings, I've seen it myself and his teachers agree. It's also great that whenever they release new games, you automatically get them with the subscription. And the annual subscription is absolutely worth it. It's also nice if your not sure if it's right for you, you do get a couple games to try out before paying for the subscription. Also just a tip if you have little ones your worried might take the nex and throw it around or something, we put alien tape on the bottom and stuck it on the shelf below the TV, it hasn't moved once. And our toddler is incredibly destructive.

Fun Active Play System That Gets the Whole Family Moving Indoors
I purchased the Nex Playground system to give our family a way to stay active indoors, and it’s quickly become a go-to for family game nights. After using it regularly and recording videos of everyone playing, it’s clear this system is designed to get kids (and adults) moving while still feeling like a game. What I Like: • Encourages physical movement instead of sitting still • Easy to set up and start playing right away • Games are simple enough for kids but still fun for adults • Works well for family game nights, parties, and playdates • Tracks movement accurately and responds quickly during gameplay What Could Be Better: • Requires enough open floor space for best results • Game selection is growing, but variety matters for long-term use How We Use It: We use this system during family game nights and when kids need to burn off energy indoors. It’s especially fun with multiple players, and recording videos of everyone playing has been a bonus because it shows just how interactive and engaging the games are. Who It’s Best For: This is a great option for families with kids who want more active screen time, especially for indoor play during bad weather. It’s also a fun addition for parties or group gatherings. Final Thoughts: Overall, the Nex Playground is a fun and interactive way to get the whole family moving indoors. It’s easy to use, engaging, and a nice balance between gaming and physical activity. We’ve enjoyed it enough that it’s become a regular part of our family routine.

Fun and Active Indoor Play That Kids Actually Enjoy
We picked up the Nex Playground for our kids who are all under 10, and it’s been a great addition to the house. It gives them a way to stay active indoors, especially on days when going outside isn’t an option. What I like most is how quickly they got into it. The games are engaging and easy for younger kids to understand, so they can jump right in without needing constant help. It’s been nice seeing them move around, burn some energy, and actually have fun doing it instead of just sitting with a tablet or watching TV. It also works well as a family activity. We’ve all joined in a few times, and it turns into something everyone can enjoy together. Overall, it’s been a solid purchase and a fun way to keep younger kids active indoors.

Fun and interactive play system
I bought this as my son's 7th birthday gift and ever since he was hooked. We have been using Nex playground system at home and its been fun and engaging. We placed it near our TV and my 7 year old son can independently use it. The games are simple enough for kids to follow even for my 4 year old girl. What I like: Easy to set-up and connect to tv. Interactive games that keep kids moving and engaged. Compact size. Does not take Much space. Good alternative to passive screen time. Things to note: Works best with enough space in front of tv Make sure lighting is good for better responsiveness. Make sure you position yourselves at an ample distance from the camera.
