We’ve only scratched the surface of the possibilities with Anki Overdrive and are very much looking forward to discovering more about it together. Recently Zak and his Dad have spent lots of time together learning to program or experimenting with various engineering projects while I have been with the new baby, so it’s been brilliant for us to spend time together to reconnect doing something we both enjoy. Zak ( age 10 ) has thoroughly enjoyed every second of exploring the capabilities of Anki Overdrive, and it’s been really lovely for me to play with him over half term as it’s something we can start and stop easily if needed and play in short bursts. Every aspect on Anki Overdrive has been extremely well thought out, we love it. At the end of a race you get cash for upgrades which can be used for weapons, speed boosts and lots more.

Players can choose a battle, standard race, play against friends or single player. Simply open the Starter Kit, build one of 8 unique battlefields, download the Anki OVERDRIVE app on your iOS or Android device, and youre off and racing. The app turns your mobile device into a controller and is very intuitive. If one car is facing the wrong way it’ll even turn itself around. The movement is super smooth and just amazing to watch. Once the cars were charged we all watched mesmerised as the two starter cars, Skull and Groundshock sped around the track scanning the layout.

The cars connect automatically so there’s no messing around or loss of connection. The cars charged in 10 minutes and the app download and set up was very straightforward too. The track fits together magnetically which is why it was so quick to build. The starter kit comes with 2 cars and 10 pieces of track. I’d barely chopped the first carrot when he was back in the kitchen telling me he was ready to play. I asked Zak to set it up while I started to make dinner one day. It’s fair to say Anki Overdrive surpassed my expectations immediately. I wasn’t sure what to expect when it arrived, my last experience of a race track involved about 30 minutes of putting together poorly fitting track followed by racing cars that flew off at every corner. It’s fair to say that Zak’s half term was much improved thanks to Anki Overdrive sending us a starter kit to play with. Half term has flown by as usual, I’ve been busy working on a secret project, so watch out for that coming soon! Luckily the children have been so happy to have some time at home that they have played together beautifully and really enjoyed some downtime.
