Mindflex Game

Guess what. Telekenisis is real. Don’t believe me? Then take a look at the fantastically unique Mindflex game by Mattl. That’s right: gone are the dice and cads of traditional games, and telekenisis is here. The object of Mindflex is simple: navigate a ball through an obstacle course. But when you realize that you have to do it using only the power of your mind, things get a lot more interesting (and challenging!)

The Obstacle course itself is customizable to allow for lots of different types of game play and to always provide a challenge. The layout and components can be interchanged. Also, there are five separate games that are playable on the board and are organized into 3 different skill levels in each to provide more of a challenge as your mastery of your mind increases over time.

So how does this seemingly magical game work? It is all done through the headset that you wear. The headband contains three inbuilt sensors – one on each temple and one against the forehead. You also attach some delicate clips to your earlobes (and fear not: they don’t hurt). All of these together measure your brain activity and the ball responds accordingly.

To start Mindflex, after you have your headset on, you place the foam ball in the starting position of the game. A little puff of air gets the ball rolling, but from then on you use only the power of your mind to move it up and down, while using a knob to move it forwards or backwards around the track. Concentrate hard and you’ll move the ball, and with practice you’ll be able to maneuver it through obstacles. Game variations include testing your speed to completing tasks, or another game involved moving the ball up and through a funnel to score points. The more effort you put in to Mindflex the more you will succeed, especially in the game that rewards extent of concentration.

Up to 4 players can give it a go if they have headsets, and the recommended age range is for anyone above age 8. The game is sure to be very popular due to curiosity and its innovation, and adults will soon be queuing up behind their kids to have their turn. Luckily, to get people used to it, it comes with a detailed instruction manual. So be ready to impress your friends with the awesome Mindflex game!
