During this time of home confinement, things can get a little stir-crazy. Housebound families are loving Starlux Games as a way to get kids and parents off the couch and off screens for some active fun during this challenging time.
It is important that kids (as well as adults) get plenty of fresh air and exercise to keep their bodies strong and healthy. Thankfully, Starlux Games has created engaging glow-in-the-dark games that motivate kids to put aside their screens and interact with each other in real life, in real time and in the great outdoors.Their glow based outdoor games—inspired by classic group activities—are designed to be played outside in the evenings, just at the time when other options are scarce and kids are more apt to turn to tech for their entertainment.
Starlux Games wants to help kids of all ages, and families as a whole, to get moving, get outside, get thinking and get them interacting! Team based games that get the whole family moving and enjoying the great outdoors are good for everyone’s body, mind and spirit! Ideal for birthday parties, slumber parties, family reunions and every day outdoor fun!
After nine years teaching high school and watching kids become more and more disengaged with their surroundings and each other, Judd King came up with the idea for Starlux Games: “I wanted to create something that I would have loved as a kid—but also something that would be so incredibly engaging and dynamic that kids and teens would actually put their phones down and interact with each other.”—Judd King
Starlux Games mission is to create ways for families and friends to engage with each other in active outdoor play that includes teamwork, strategy and lots of excitement.

I received a Glow Battle Game to review, and my son, Braxton couldn’t wait until it got dark outside to give it a try. In fact, a few weeks ago, before things got too serious with the Coronovirus scare, Braxton was already feeling Spring fever! He has three best friends that he invited over to play (they are triplets!) The first thing they did was pull out the Starlux Glow Battle game, and they had a blast as they learned how to play it. (Of course it would have been better to play in the dark to get the full effects of the game) but they were to excited to wait until it got dark. They all had fun anyway!
