Drone Home

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.

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 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.

If you've ever wanted to combine alien abduction with high-speed drone action, *Drone Home* is the game for you. Picture this: tiny aliens, a real flying drone, and a group of kids (and overly competitive adults) screaming “GO GO GO!” while frantically flicking their little extraterrestrials into the launch pad. It’s chaos—and it’s amazing. The drone itself is like a mischievous little UFO. It takes off with a dramatic flair, carrying whichever lucky alien made it onto the pad. The first time it launched, my 6-year-old’s jaw hit the floor, and my 2-year-old started yelling, “AGAIN!” It's an instant hit. Gameplay is simple but intense. There’s something deeply satisfying about catapulting your alien while sabotaging your opponent's chances. (Pro tip: Adults should not underestimate the flicking power of a determined kid.) And don’t worry—when the drone crashes mid-air because someone bumped the table, it just adds to the hilarity. Durability? Solid. This thing survived multiple crash landings and one accidental encounter with the family dog. Assembly? Easy-peasy—took about five minutes, even with kids “helping.” Final verdict: *Drone Home* is part game, part spectacle, and 100% chaotic fun. 5 stars—just be ready to chase the drone when it decides to make a break for it!

We love this game. It’s fun for the whole family.

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.

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 game is such a fun idea of a game! SO MANY PROBLEMS with this game tho! This is our 3rd time buying it if that tells you anything-- our kids love to play it... but it breaks ALL THE TIME! I've had a battle each time rebuying it bc we know it's going to break again fairly quickly. Our kids are not rough on it... we are always there playing with them too... the game just is fragile. Very fragile. After the 2nd time buying it, I reached out to the customer service information they leave on a paper inside the game and asked if there was any way we could get a new part for the game and they said they would send us a new game and sent us a completely and totally different game! So we bought it for the 3rd time and now I'm REALLY disappointed bc it came and the drone doesn't even fly... on the very first time using it... it won't lift off at all (see video). We also took off all the rings on the drone to see if that was the problem, and it wasn't... still won't take flight. Also, specific to this time, after trying to play for 5 min, we started noticing pieces of gray plastic around us and we realized as we were flicking our pieces, the game was already breaking... like pieces were breaking off from just flicking the pieces which is the entire premise of the game!! Anyway, just overall disappointed in the quality. Thought 3rd time would be the charm but this time has been the worst which is what prompted me to come and finally write a review.

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.

Great game really fun, the kids love it. You need an adult to catch most times otherwise crashes quite hard. Comes with replacement blades which is nice and the drone is rechargeable. Aliens look great and its reward when someone gets into the ship and you knock them out and take their spot. Even my 4 year old can do it. Excitement wears off a little with this game, but put it away let them forget for a few weeks and when they find it again they are begging to play it Need to be careful with Long Hair as it is a drone at the end of the day and has spinning blades (plastics) to fly.

宇宙人を乗せて飛び立つドローンに家族で笑い転げました。これは最高に盛り上がります。 ただドローンは天井近くまで舞い上がるので(高さ調整はできます)、ちょっと間違ったらすぐに壊してしまいそうです。 また今の季節扇風機を使うことがあるかと思いますが、このゲームのそばでは厳禁です。扇風機の風に煽られてドローンは風下のプレイヤーに襲いかかります。子どもの顔に当たりそうになり、ヒヤヒヤしました。 風がなく天井が高く、周りにものが少ない部屋で遊ぶのが安心です。 それでも遊びとして最高に楽しく、買ってよかったと思っています！
