Hasta La Ideas

Video games have long been pegged as the reason kids (and grown-ups) spend too much time glued to their screens, barely moving a muscle except for their fingers. While handheld devices do let you switch locations, most games still keep you firmly planted on the couch. But what if your gaming setup encouraged you to jump, spin, and laugh instead of just sitting and staring?

That’s the playful spirit behind Nex Playground, a clever cube-shaped console designed to transform your living room into a gym, dance floor, or soccer field, all with the help of your own body. Reminiscent of the fun families had with classics like the Nintendo Wii or Xbox Kinect, Nex brings active gaming back to center stage, creating friendly competition and shared laughter for everyone at home.

Designer: Nex

The Nex Playground is more than just a gaming gadget. It uses advanced motion-tracking technology built right into its compact cube, so you don’t need to strap on any sensors or wear silly suits. The built-in camera watches your movements and translates them into on-screen actions, letting you kick, jump, dodge, or dance to win. The magic is all in the tech, which is specially made for interactive sports, fitness, and playful party games.

One of Nex’s biggest strengths is how it encourages families to play together. The games are designed to get everyone moving, whether the goal is to score the most points, nail the best dance moves, or simply keep up with the action. It’s a brilliant way to turn screen time into quality time, and you might even forget you’re getting a workout in the process.

Parents will be happy to know that Nex Playground takes kids’ safety and privacy seriously. It’s COPPA certified, with strict data protection and a physical cover for the camera when not in use. That means you can focus on the fun without worrying about who’s watching or what’s being shared. The console itself is small, lightweight, and easy to pack up in a travel case, so active play can come along on trips or family gatherings.

You don’t even need Wi-Fi to dive into the motion games. Everything runs offline, so play doesn’t have to pause when the internet drops. Nex’s ever-growing library of games and experiences makes sure there’s always something new to try, whether you’re hosting a rainy day playdate or just blowing off steam after dinner.

For families, kids, and anyone who wants to shake up their gaming routine, the Nex Playground cube offers a fresh, fun reason to move. It’s a new way to bond, laugh, and get your heart pumping, all without leaving the living room. If you’re ready to swap the controller for a full-body adventure, get ready to make playtime a little wilder and a whole lot more active.
