The next thing on your kids’ wishlist?
That very well might be the Nex Playground, the viral AI-powered toy that transforms your living room into a play space for kiddos, and just hit its lowest price since October.
This simple, cube-shaped device uses a built-in camera and AI technology to track natural body movements, allowing up to four players to jump in at once — no controllers needed.
And right now, it’s currently available at a rare 20% discount for Prime Day, which runs from June 23 to 26 this year.
Parents say it’s a serious sanity-saver, a go-to gift and love that it comes packed with a wide variety of interactive challenges that keep kids engaged and moving. Not to mention, it comes with a three-month Play Pass bundle, which provides access to over 30 games.
“Such a fun setup for kids and the whole family,” one parent gushed. “Easy to use, keeps everyone moving, and the games are a blast. Total win for family game night.”
Our advice? Act fast. This deal (and other Amazon bestsellers on sale) won’t last long.
