You may remember that the boys were chosen to be Stay Active Ambassadors over the summer alongside Olympic Champion Greg Rutherford. They have been tasked with reviewing products from Character Toy’s Stay Active range. This month we are looking at Jump-It Wipeout. Character Toys Stay Active Jump-It Wipeout The boys have been fans of Tom Gates for a while now. M has always loved reading books that make him laugh and contain humour - they tend to keep him engaged in reading.⁠

The Jump-It Wipeout is a musical jump challenge where you try to beat the rotating soft foam jump bar. The aim is to either jump until the time is up or until you Wipeout! The unit talks to you at points in the game and it also plays music, but we found this a little bit muffled on our carpet and we were generally too focused on the game to listen. The beat of the music probably helps you find a rhythm if you listen though. Reverse Mode – The sweep jump bar will randomly change direction, to keep you on your toes, and test your timing, reactions and agility. We had so much fun on the after-dark twilight trail @polesdenlaceynt last week. The boys loved carrying lanterns for part of the trail.⁠

The game takes 6x D batteries to operate which are not included in the box so just be aware of that if you are thinking about this as a Christmas gift. What we thought about Jump-It Wipe-Out Even on the slowest mode it’s pretty fast so you need to focus. There are different settings which mean you can change the speed for more of a challenge if you need it. We call them fast, faster and super speed, but on the device they are called L, M and H or low, medium and high. You can also change the maximum duration of the game from 1 minute to 2 or 3 minutes. Finally to mix it up there are 3 different game modes: Normal (N), Challenge (C) and Reverse (R). In the challenge mode the speed gradually increases, in reverse mode the arm briefly stops and then moves in the other direction. You can play on your own or with others and the instructions suggest trying in teams, ‘best of’ or elimination versions.

Challenge Mode – Things begin to heat up, as you jump the sweep jump bar speed increases faster and faster!

Reverse Mode - The sweep jump bar will randomly change direction, to keep you on your toes, and test your timing, reactions and agility.This game requires the players to have a basic level of fitness and coordination to play, although it’s pretty amusing even if you only last a few rounds. Definitely start at the slowest speed and work on building up how long you can last for. Best to visit by car, nearest stations are 3/4 miles away (Boxhill & Westhumble, Bookham and Dorking)⁠ The Jump It Lap Counter is a high energy, fast paced skipping and jumping game that can be played both indoors or outside. Even better, one size fits all, so parents can get involved too. We took M there for his birthday and he was heaven. He spent his time running around not knowing what to look at first. It took literally less than 2 minutes to put together which was a real positive and comes with everything you need straight out the box. What’s in the box?

You’ll need them in reverse mode as the sweep jump bar will randomly change direction. As soon as the arm hits you the game stops. Even on the fastest speed it doesn’t hurt because the arm is covered in pool noodle type material. The way the arm is attached to the unit means it is easy to remove for storage, but it also means that if you accidentally land on the arm it will disconnect and shouldn’t be damaged.The boys were really excited to be testing out Jump-It Wipeout – it’s right up their street. They love the larger-scale version of this at our local trampoline park, so being able to have their own version is a dream come true. Jump-It Wipeout is a great game that has provided so much fun for the boys and their friends. They have both loved competing to see who can outjump the foam bar. It’s kept them away from screens over half-term, which is always a good thing. Challenge Mode - Things begin to heat up, as you jump the sweep jump bar speed increases faster and faster! Challenge Mode: not for the feint hearted as in challenge mode the sweep jump bar speed increases as you jump faster and faster! M has been living in his @TheRealTomGates pyjamas recently, and I think he might wear these when his World Book Day dress-up day comes around (the school celebrate with Book Week rather than just Book Day)⁠
