Simon Flash by Hasbro Review & Giveaway

The classic game of Simon has gotten a high-tech facelift from Hasbro, with its traditional round, console design being transformed into four sleek, freestanding electronic game tiles that players slide, shuffle and swap at Simon's command. The all-new Simon Flash includes not just one but four engaging, fast-pace games:

• Simon Classic: correctly repeat the growing sequence of colored lights;
• Simon Shuffle: the lights shuffle after a pattern of colors is revealed in a flash and players have to line up the tiles in the original order.
• Simon Lights Off: shuffle the tiles until all the lights turn off. You only have 90 seconds to complete the challenge!
• Simon Secret Color: keep rearranging the tiles until they all light up as the same color.

Utilizing "Wonder-Link" technology, Simon Flash cleverly remembers each player's moves and keeps track of scores. While kids are fascinated by the lights, sounds, colors, and hands-on action of the game, they also get to practice their speed, memory and logic through active play. Although the game is designed for children aged 8 and up, I think it's also fun to play for both younger kids and adults.

Another neat feature of Simon Flash is that it comes in a convenient travel case, perfect for on-the-go play! Eight AAA batteries are also included to power the electric tiles, which automatically shut off if not in use for more than three minutes. You can get your own copy of the new game at mass merchandise retailers nationwide for only $29.99.
