SIMON FLASH Game Review + Giveaway!

by Budget Savvy Diva on December 19, 2011

The lights, sounds and hands-on action of Hasbro’s new Simon Flash will have players on the edge of their seat as they slide, swap, shuffle and touch hand-held game pieces in a fresh and frenzied take on this classic 80s game. The iconic Simon game is transformed from its traditional round, console design into four sleek, freestanding electronic game tiles. Players will be mesmerized as they frantically try to follow the growing sequence of flashing colored lights in an attempt to keep up in this challenge of memory and logic.  Simon Flash has four games in one and comes in a convenient travel case – making it perfect for entertaining kids on long trips to visit family and friends!

Product Price: $29.99

Purchase Information:  You can buy the awesome game at Amazon ( which is currently selling it for $16.99 ;) )

What Budget Savvy Diva Thought:

It seems like you can’t go down the game aisle anymore without finding about three or four alterations to your favorite classic games, where everything else is cashing in on retro charm.  Hasbro among others refuses to be nostalgic and is always pushing boundaries and re-inventing its old standbys.  One of these more successful revisions is the new Simon Flash, which has a classic Simon feature.

Simon is the game that reminds me of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, or Electric Light Orchestra.  You pick.  The original is a round disc with red, yellow, green and blue buttons that play a sequence of tones that you must repeat in order to move on to the next, more complicated sequence until you lose.

Simon Flash, is comprised of four separate buttons that communicate when pressed next to each other.  You can use them in four distinct games, involving memory and problem solving skills.  You can play against yourself, or challenge a friend.  I love this new version of Simon and find it a little addicting.  It’s a great way to pass the time anywhere you go and I appreciate how easy it is to store and the fact that batteries are included.

One Lucky Budget Savvy Diva Will Win A Simon Flash Of Their Own :) Just Enter Below And Good LUCK!
