If your kids (or you) are on Tik Tok at all, you’ve probably heard the song that goes “I’m bored in the house, in the house bored.” I’m not sure a song could more accurately portray where my family is at this point after being home for over nine weeks. At first, we used the time wisely. We watched family movies, played board games and did puzzles. On the few nice days, we went out for family walks with the dog.
But then we started retreating to our own spaces and doing our own things. Why?
But to be honest, we are sick of movies, games and puzzles after weeks and weeks and weeks of them. We need to shake it up by doing something different as a family. So when my PR friend asked if anyone was interested in trying out a new kind of video game – one that we can play as a family – I enthusiastically said YES!!
The next thing I know, we have our own ProjeX Projecting Game Arcade! (Want one of your own? There’s a giveaway of a system at the bottom of this post, so be sure to scroll down and enter!)
I know, I know – you want me to cut to the chase and explain what ProjeX is all about. In a nutshell, it is a video game arcade system that, instead of using electronics, projects onto any flat surface like a wall or portable screen. You can play by yourself or with your family and let the competition really build.
It’s best played in a darkened room, but for the sake of the photo we left a light on here.
What are my favorite things about Projex? First, that the whole family can play and that it’s so interactive. Each of the different levels is appropriate for the different age groups you may have. Secondly, I love that you can play it anywhere in the house (as long as there is an appropriate surface). You are no longer tied to one room – or even inside! Being battery powered makes it completely portable! Lastly, I love the ability to customize the images and sounds to your own liking. If your family is looking for something new to do while at home, I highly recommend checking Projex out!!
ProjeX is available at Target, Walmart and online at Amazon.com
