KC Undercover Ultimate Mission Game

Good

My 11-year old daughter who loves the KC Undercover series & Zendaya, got this game for Christmas. She loves it, as does my 9-year old daughter who is familiar with the TV series, too. The concept of the game is pretty simple: one player is the undercover agent (i.e. KC), & that player wears a heart-shaped wrist band that gives instructions. The other players begin by placing 11 cards throughout the playing area. This is a way that you can control the difficulty of the game: to make it more difficult, place them throughout a wider area or throughout several rooms in the house. Once they are all placed, the agent follows the instructions that are voiced from the watch. The watch tells the player to find items that are pictured on the cards, one at a time. Once the player finds the correct card, he/she presses the heart button on the watch, and the voice instructs the agent to find another random item. After finding 5 items, a 6th and final mission is called, which amounts to one more card that must be found. Once the last card is found & the player hits the button, the voice tells the player how long it took to complete the game. The other players monitor the agent to make sure that the correct cards were collected. Completing the missions in under 3 minutes is considered a winning score, but finishing in a better time than your opponents makes you the ultimate winner.What I like is that the watch is a replica of the one from the TV show. Additionally, the game tests the agent’s memory since you try to remember were you found the other cards in case they are called later in the game. The game also promotes exercise & being active, which is a big plus. On the down side, there is no way to skip past the standard instructions in the beginning before the first item is announced, but it only takes a matter of seconds to play through these. The voice from the watch is not very loud either, but it can still be heard easily if held up near your face. Make sure you have 3 watch batteries on hand for replacement in the future. Lastly, the band of the watch itself is just a hard plastic, & I don’t know how durable it will prove to be. Despite these few drawbacks, overall it is a good game, & I think that pre-teens & early teens would enjoy it. It is certainly worth $20 – $25, but I think that $50 that I saw on some sites would be too expensive for a watch & 11 cards.

The bracelet is cute and the concept is fun, but the objects to find are just cardboard cards with pictures--seems like they could have used more imagination in designing the objects to find on a "mission" and made the game a little more exciting

The bracelet doesn't work

kid hated it .....
