My nine-year-old son received the Hasbro Cosmic Catch as a Christmas present. The game comes with six multi-colored hand bands that have a coded reader embedded inside. The ball will automatically detect the color of the reader on your hand. Each person selects a color and then the fun begins. Warning: This game is addictive, even for adults!
Easy to Set Up
The bands that you attach to your hand do not require batteries. The ball itself has a removable piece which is best accessed using a small phillips head screwdriver. The ball requires four AAA 1.5 Volt batteries. The battery section is about an inch deep inside the ball, once the outer piece is removed, however the positive/negative symbols are easy to read. Installation is relatively easy...once the batteries are installed, the removable section is replaced over the batteries, and the two phillips head screws are screwed back into place.
Easy to Operate
This ball really doesn't require any instruction. The section of ball that covers the batteries also contains the on/off switch. This switch also doubles as the game-mode switch. One button...it doesn't get any easier than that. Once you turn on the game, it will ask you to identify players. You can pick the number of players, and each player chooses a color. The ball then tells you to pass the ball to each of the players. As the ball moves from player to player it will identify the color they are wearing. Once each player is identified, the ball should be returned to the first player, which will indicate to the game that all players are "in." In this manner, you don't have to program the number of players, regardless of the number, once the ball identifies a color it has already identified, it "reads" that as all players being selected. The ball will then ask which game you want to play. There are four options...Fast Pass, Code Challenge, Add One and You're Out.
