We received a huge box of 30 Glow in the Dark Hexbugs, some in limited addition coffin containers, Hexbugs as well as a few packages of glow in the dark tracks tracks and bridges for them to play on. It drove my kids insane seeing that box sitting in the kitchen for a week. I wouldn't let them open it until the party. When the day finally arrived, they were so excited they were bouncing off the walls. I thought setting up the tracks would be complicated, so I started early in the morning. But it turned out to take only a few minutes to get all it together. Each piece snaps together easily with little to no effort. The kids are able to mix and match pieces with no problems. There are hundreds of combinations, making for endless variety. When we had it all set up, it took up most of my living room floor. This was our final result.
We invited eight kids over for our party. Including my two, that made a total of ten kids, not including the baby. You'd think things would have been hectic. But never in my life have I seen a group of kids so mesmerized by a toy. Even the baby was staring at them. They loved the feel of them buzzing around in their hand, but once they had them on the tracks, nothing could get their attention. Not even the Tasty Worms in Mud snack tray or Mummy Dogs we had made to celebrate the occasion. But pictures speak louder than words. Check out this video to see how much fun the kids were having:
The kid had so much fun watching the bugs run up and down the ramps. Even when they get stuck on their backs they keep moving, and the tracks have lots of little extras like doors that slide open and closed so you can trap your bugs in one section or let them wander free. Its exciting to watch them battle it out when two wind up in the same section or having them race to the finish line.And we played a few fun games line the Mummy Wrap Race where we wrapped the bugs in toilet paper and the Trick or Treat Glow Maze where we watched them scoot across the glowing tracks in the dark. All in all, we had a exciting day. All the kids were able to take home three bugs and we even had enough race track pieces that each family was able to take home a section.
