LeapFrog Rockit Twist Handheld Learning Game System, Purple

Games in the “Arcade” include Albert’s Escape (problem solving), Jumping Gertie (phonics/letters), some worm game where you eat numbers. The games in the Arcade section have three levels of difficulty. Then there’s a “Practice” section that has carnival type game that works on numbers and counting, a spelling game, and a sight words/reading one. These also have three levels of difficulty. There’s “Playground,” which has a search and find game, a timed game to see how many problems you can solve before the bunny pops out, and I think there’s another one in there I’m missing. There’s a “Music” section where kids can listen to different songs, or make their own beats. The “Pets” section has different eggs that hatch into different creatures that they can take care of by feeding, bathing, brushing teeth, and playing with. These pets become adults when we’ll cared for. There’s also an “Art” section I forget what it’s named, but they can make pixel art and I can’t remember what else. But there are quite a lot of activities packed into this little game! Players 1 and 2 have their progress saved, the Guest player does not. Some games you rotate the toy for a different orientation (my son never does). Charge also holds very well, I think we’ve only fully charged it 3-4 times in the 3 months we’ve had it. At most, my kid will go for 30 minutes on it, not every day, but there were a few times we were on the road where he had it for longer and more frequent.So my almost 5 year old took to this quite easily. I had to tell him a once or twice how to get to different screens and games, then he was off. He really loves it! He has had it for about 3 months now and turned 5, and has earned all the medals for at least one, if not 3 of the main games. The good part is there are 3 levels to the main games, each level a bit more challenging. It really is educational and incorporates problem solving. I had to of course buy two so little sister would have her own, and she doesn't use it as well, but has definitely gotten the hang of the pet game (her favorite) once you get her to the screen. She is almost 3 now. It’s a really a cool little device. I even like playing with it! I’ll try to add a video later!

Leapfrog has always been a hit with my kids, but they’ve outdone themselves with this one!I have a special needs child who will be 13 soon. Mentally she is at the ages 4-6. Her motor and cognitive skills aren’t the best & due to everything going on with her, she can’t really figure out how to use another big brand game controller or the games .. but LOVES to watch her dad play and she pretends to play with him.This little gem was exactly what I was hoping and praying for! It has everything to keep her busy, learning and entertained without buying extra games (we did buy the extras in case, but they really aren’t needed) The buttons light up which tell her what she needs to do next. It’s teaching her and helping her learn how to manipulate these games (I’m hoping) Even if this doesn’t do everything — ITS A GAME CHANGER, still for my house!We did buy the carrying/protective case for it. In case something were to happen to this, I would buy it over and over and over again!! It’s worth every penny in my eyes.

I bought this toy for my 18 month old grandson even though I knew he was a bit young for it, but he is a bright "busy" little boy and needs extra mind stimulating toys that can keep his interest. Actually this learning game toy is great. It plays music, arcade games, artwork and much more, but is more advanced than for an 18 mo. old child but I'm glad I got it as our grandchild loves to push the lit up buttons and tries to play the games with me and this learning game system does keep him busy for awhile. Our 5 1/2 year old grandaughter likes to play the games too, and I must admit I also have been found trying to play the games. This is a great toy and I highly recommend it.

This was exactly what we were looking for,amazing little handheld with more games then I thought,because some games have mini games in them.Absolutely love the fact that it has zero (0) WiFi connection,a very big peace of mind for parents who want to keep their kids protected.My little one does have a kids tablet (heavily monitored) and she said "she likes this handheld game way more,because it has better and way more fun games".All around it seems very sturdy and all the buttons seem to be very well made,there are additional game packs you can buy,but with the games that is already on the "twist" as we call it,they will have platy to play with for time to come.To top it off,it is rechargeable and comes with the cord,so not having to change the batterys out is awsome AND the life of the cage is quite extended,I think hers lasted over 6 hours of play time before she even charged it once.Parenting tip:The game packs will become rewords for getting good report cards. :)

Our granddaughter enjoys playing the games on this system. It helps her with her knowledge base along with her dexterity while working the different "buttons" to play the games. It comes with plenty of games to entertain a child but has the ability to add more which we chose to do and it was not difficult to add more to it. I do wish there were more games to add though than what I have found. One package is no longer available anywhere and I know she would have enjoyed the characters of the game. Hopefully they are not discontinuing the system.

This is a fantastic alternative to an iPad or tablet for your child. My four year old learned the controls quickly due to the helpful hints. The buttons light up with these hints so you're not there telling your kid over and over which button is which. The games are appropriate, and bountiful but I do wish there was a way to get more games or get a cartridge to play a cars game for example, like the old leapfrog games were similar to a Gameboy. Overall a great buy!

My toddler love this!
