Kids and teens love the excitement of a first-person shooter video game, but sometimes parents want them to get outdoors and get active. The new line of Faction Gel Blasters from Skyrocket brings that video game excitement into the real world so teens can enjoy their favorite games while taking a break from the couch!

Faction Gel Blasters use Bluetooth, GPS, and Cloud Server technology to create an interactive arena in a local park or neighborhood. Teens can connect the gel bead blasters to the Faction app through smartphones, which brings structure to kids’ battles. Players can choose a game mode, pick teams, keep score, track their stats, and stay informed with audio and screen updates. Plus, each blaster comes with a Smart Beacon for the ultimate target practice. Teens can play single or multi-player games, track accuracy and hits, and get a scoring summary and the highest score to beat.

This blaster is recommended for teens ages 14 and up and is available for $79.99 at Walmart, Amazon and Target.
