Product Information

Challenge Mode - Things begin to heat up, as you jump the sweep jump bar speed increases faster and faster! 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 Not only can the Stay Active range help reduce screen time and time prevent a sedentary lifestyle, but keeping active can help improve overall mental wellbeing, balance, coordination and stamina, as well as social skills, self esteem and confidence. Being more active can also help everyone get a better night’s sleep and what’s not to love about that?! DISCLOSURE: we were sent the Jump-It Wipe-Out for the purposes of this review. As always though, all thoughts and opinions are our own.

Reverse Mode: how good are your reflexes? You’ll need them in reverse mode as the sweep jump bar will randomly change direction. 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. 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! Best to visit by car, nearest stations are 3/4 miles away (Boxhill & Westhumble, Bookham and Dorking)⁠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 Jump-It Wipeout consists of a sweep arm which is rotated by a central motorised unit. The aim is to jump, skip or hop over the arm as it comes round and avoid being ‘wiped out’. Stay Active is a range of family-inclusive toys that can be played inside, outside whilst having great active fun. What I love about the Stay Active range is that we enjoy the toys in the range as much as the kids do. The Jump-It Wipe-Out especially so as both hubby and I used to love watching the show together. 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.

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)⁠ From spinning in circles on the spot to navigating her way around the local park, Erin absolutely loved counting up how many laps she had done in a minute, or having ‘jump off’s’ with me to see who could do the most. Erin is also quite competitive, so the lap counter really helped motivate her to push that little bit stronger, move a little faster and keep going when she may otherwise have stopped.Reverse Mode - The sweep jump bar will randomly change direction, to keep you on your toes, and test your timing, reactions and agility. It can be used both indoors and outdoors, you just need a big enough indoor area for them to use while jumping. Although we’ve had very mild weather for October, the game is a good way to keep them busy active when it’s wet and miserable outside. There's also a range of Tom Gates items, including games, puzzles and greeting cards at major retailers.⁠ The Stay Active 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! Great for competing with family and friends of all ages, Jump-It Wipeout will test your timing, reactions, agility and fitness.

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. Overall, not only did it really tire us both out, but we spent a really lovely afternoon together in the park – no TV, no screens, no lazy day spent at home, but fresh air, movement and exercise – and we both felt so much better for it!You do need a decent size flat space to play. The instructions suggest at least 2.5 metres squared so this might not be suitable for inside use in all homes (we only have one location in the house with enough space without moving furniture). If you are playing with it outside you need a flat surface so the arm can move freely and to ensure you land safely. The arm is raised a couple of inches off the ground so you could play on grass as long as it has recently been cut. 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. The different settings and modes mean you can adjust this for younger kids to play or ramp it for older kids who really want a challenge. It can be used both indoors and outdoors, you just need a big enough indoor area for them to use while jumping.

Challenge Mode: not for the feint hearted as in challenge mode the sweep jump bar speed increases as you jump faster and faster!
