About

Human Controller by TOMY

Read full description

Ever wished you could have more power over your fellow human beings? Well now you can, thanks to Human Controller. It’s the game where you take one Human and one Controller and put them together. The Human wears the headset which acts as a blindfold and a command module all at the same time. The catch? Someone else controls the headset and tells the human just what they must do. It’s fun to watch and fun to play. Setting up the game is quick and easy. Download the Human Controller app, decide whether players will go head-to-head or play in teams, then take turns with the headset and the app. Commands are as simple as left, right, forwards or backwards. The Human wearing the headset will feel vibrating pads around the mask telling them which way to go. Then, depending of which of the 30 challenges the Controller has selected, a press on the Action button will have the human carrying all kinds of tasks. You could be sending a friend blindfolded around the room, bumping into other players and looking for the exit. Swinging a bat to order in a game of baseball. Shielding the Controller from attack, building a tower with random objects around the house, playing an excited puppy, practicing your dance moves, laying an egg by dropping an object over a target, or filling a glass without spilling a drop. When you’re in control, you can make up any number of games using commonplace props around the home. The possibilities are endless. It includes a built-in timer and score pad. Suitable for 2 or more players or teams aged 14 years & up. Please send any support requests to cs@tomy.com (US) or response@tomy.com (UK+EU).
