We'd rather answer this properly than sell you something that ends up in a drawer. What we've built for is replayability: four different modes and an opponent with three difficulty levels, so it isn't mastered on the first afternoon. What we can't promise is that it will out-compete a tablet, because nothing does. It also isn't an educational device — it's a good game that happens to involve thinking, and we'd rather say that than claim it will make anyone cleverer. If it doesn't get picked up in the first month, send it back.

We make screen-free games that still feel like gadgets. The Neon is where we started — a light-up board with four ways to play and an opponent built in, aimed at the moment right after the tablet goes down. No apps, no accounts, no subscriptions, and no pretending a toy is a tutor.

It's designed for ages 6 and up, and plenty of adults end up playing it too. There are four modes: solo against the board with three difficulty levels, two-player head to head, a fast reaction game, and a memory round that flashes a pattern for you to repeat. Everything is played by touching the board itself — there's no rulebook, because everyone already knows the main game.

It's built with a soft bumper frame and rounded corners, because a toy that lives on the floor gets dropped. There are no loose pieces and nothing small to come away. The age grade is 6 and up — please stick to that rather than treating it as a guideline, and keep it away from children under three. As with any electronic toy, adult supervision is sensible for younger players, and it shouldn't be submerged in water or left somewhere very hot.

No app, no account, no Wi-Fi — that's deliberate, given the whole point is getting off screens. Everything is controlled by three buttons on the device: power and pause, mode switch, and volume. It charges over USB-C using the same sort of cable as most phones and tablets, so there's nothing unusual to keep hold of. Wipe it clean with a slightly damp cloth and never put it in water.

You send it back and we refund you. Every order comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, which is long enough to see whether it actually gets picked up again after the first day. Email support@ggplayset.com with your order number and we'll sort the return — no justifying yourself, no chasing us for a reply.
