Drone Home — First Ever Game with a Real, Flying Drone — Great, Family Fun — for 2-4 Players — for Ages 8+

Update: After 2 years, the spinners broke and it didn’t fly up anymore. I left it at 5 stars though because it was well worth the price and we had loads of fun with it! This game is a blast for all ages! You do need to charge the drone, but it lasts for a while. The price is perfect for a gift and loads of fun will be had!

This is a really fun family game - adults and kids enjoy it. My son got this for me for Mother’s Day (lol), and we all have liked it so much, we have gotten it as a gift for other people, too.

3 stars... pretty much all 3 stars for how much fun it was and how unique it was. minus 2 stars for what is flawed. For cons, The drone flies too high for indoor play... it will destroy itself as it is in no way designed to take very many crashes. Generally it flies up, hits our angled ceiling, flies off in a random direction/crash. We had a few good plays but the casualties did mount pretty quickly. My lady cut her finger pushing the landing drone away from her head in one. In another accident the propeller grabbed some of her hair. The final casualty was the drone itself as the drive "pole" that holds the two propellers itself, separated. You can buy replacement drones but... its just not designed sturdy enough or safe enough for kids really so ill likely retire this game. Real shame honestly. If they used soft foam instead of metal on much of it, it might have lasted longer than 4 or 5 plays.

I'm a play therapist and my kids absolutely love this game. They request it every time. Lots of fun and super easy to play. It is also a quick game, which is nice!

This was a Christmas game and we really didn’t have high hopes for it. We finally opened it last night and had a blast! We have a 10 year old son and 8 year old daughter and we all loved it. We are aware it might brake at any minute because it does take some pretty hard falls (please stand clear!) but I think that if you get to play with it for a couple of hours, for the price, it was still worth it. I will definitely be reordering when ours breaks.

This game was an absolute HIT with our family! Everyone was playing it, even great grandma! What a fun idea and it’s so different and exciting. We absolutely love it!!! Game of the year!!!! ( Remember to charge before playing)

The game itself is super simple, and gameplay can literally last less than 10 seconds per round most times. My sons love this game. Unfortunately the drone included in the game is super fragile. There's no way to stop the drone once it takes off, and unless you're playing in a large empty room, it will more than likely slam the propeller into something at full throttle, guaranteeing that it will break something eventually. There's a set of propeller protection rings around the outside of each prop, and within 30 minutes of the first time playing with it, one of the hinges had broken off. Two attempts with epoxy and I was able to get the hinge attached strong enough that it wouldn't break with the lightest impact. Then it broke again when older brother wasn't being as careful and managed to bump it again. So we're back to the epoxy hospital for the third time in two days. Those that don't have epoxy or patience for repairing things probably want to stay away. I also don't understand some design decisions. - Why does the base require four AAA batteries? The drone is charged from a separate USB port between gameplay, so why does the base need power (especially 4 batteries worth) if it's just there to indicate that the drone is in the base? There's no other lights or anything else to power in this game. - The drone runtime once it launches is too long. It seems like it runs 5+ seconds, which is plenty of time for it to launch, fly off somewhere out of control, and bust itself on something as I mentioned previously. Why not run it for ~2 seconds (plenty of time to launch, but a lot less time to go break itself)? Also it would make sense for it to shutdown if it detected a tilt above a certain angle (but this would add cost and complexity since the sensor is more than likely not there already). - The alien characters are a bit tricky to get placed on the launcher in the right orientation, especially if you have larger hands. I guess that's part of the skill though. I can only hope that there are design improvements made to this game. It's a great concept and a lot of fun for kids, but I'm afraid many will be let down due to the poor quality and only get some short playtime out of this.

Ever since we purchased Drone Home a couple of years ago, it has been a staple of initiation in our house to newcomers. We left our old one which was the new version while we were on vacation so I purchased the original this time. This version only has 3 aliens and the drone died within 4 minutes. I sent it back and purchased the newer version instead.

Good

大人も子供もみんなで楽しめる。飛ぶと子供達が取り合いとなるため壊れないように大人が先に取るのが大変。

This game is awsome, really good quality and heaps of fun. Flys really high, so cool!

grandson played for 3 hours and the drones cracked when drop down. unable to fly again. not recommended

Les enfants adorent quand le drone décolle même si on ne joue pas selon les règles.
