Parents flipped out over the RockIt Twist, which they viewed as a great alternative to “borrowing” your iPad or tablet. Rocket Twist is cleverly designed and is truly unlike any other gaming system youve seen. It comes packed with games that use a variety of controls like spinners, buttons, dials, and switches. Children can toggle between different categories – such as pets, a playground, music maker, arcade games, and a practice section, which has more educational (but still fun) games. Depending on the game/activity a child chooses, they will rotate the device and use the corresponding controls. The games are age-appropriate, fun and engaging. This is also a product that children can use independently. It does not connect to the internet at all so your child can access all their games at any time (no wifi connection needed!), and of course, your child is at no risk of being exposed to games, apps, or websites that are not age-appropriate. Its more compact in size, more durable, and less overwhelming than a tablet. Parents told us that they would feel much more comfortable with their children toting around the RockIt Twist than a tablet.
