An Open Letter to Nex Playground

Dear Nex Playground,

First of all, bless your brilliant, family-saving souls. I don’t know what kind of parental magic you sprinkled into that screen, but it’s working. My girls have always been active, but nothing has made them move with this much joy and intention before. Now they run, jump, dance, and laugh with purpose, joy, and the kind of excitement that makes me want to cancel the gym membership I never use anyway (just kidding, I don’t have gym membership). I’m actually able to sit down now with my coffee without yelling, “Go move already!”

You’ve somehow cracked the code: a screen that doesn’t turn my kids into couch potatoes. I mean, how did we get here? I used to beg, “Go outside!” only to be met with the classic “But it’s too hot!” or “There are bugs!” Now, with Nex Playground, they’re moving around with Fruit Ninja, dancing along to Starri and Zumba, testing their skills in Bowling Strike, laughing with Bluey and Kung Fu Panda, learning with Geo Darts and Quiz Dash, and just being silly with Mirrorama—all without me having to step in as referee.

And the best part? It’s safe. No weird pop-ups, no questionable content, no silent fear that a random ad will ruin my child’s innocence. Just wholesome, clever, body-moving games that make me feel a tiny bit less guilty about screen time. Starri gets them chasing targets, Zumba turns the living room into a mini dance studio, and Mirrorama challenges their balance and focus. Even the quieter games, like Quiz Dash and Geo Darts, keep their minds sharp while still encouraging movement. It’s a perfect mix of fitness, fun, and learning. Honestly, it’s the kind of parenting win that deserves a medal or at least a solid five-minute coffee break while the kids are “exercising.”

It’s genius, really. You’ve managed to blend technology and activity in a way that even us tired, multitasking parents can appreciate. It’s like sneaking broccoli into brownies. The kids think they’re gaming, but I know they’re moving, laughing, and learning. And when bedtime rolls around, I notice something miraculous. They’re actually tired. Not the “fake tired” where they still have energy to argue about brushing teeth, but the real, out-like-a-light kind of tired.

I also love how intentional it feels. This isn’t background noise or a distraction to keep them occupied. They are engaged. They want to play, and they don’t even realize how much they’re moving. My toddler’s coordination? Improving. My older one’s focus? Sharper. My sanity? Still intact (barely, but we’ll take it). And my living room? It’s become a mini playground minus the chaos of packing snacks, finding missing shoes, or chasing someone who refuses to leave the park.

So, thank you, Nex Playground for giving parents like me a fighting chance to balance fun, fitness, and sanity. For turning screen time into something we can all feel good about. And for designing a play system that my girls actually love, no bribery required.

If I were to sum it up like a review, I’d say this: Nex Playground is a must-have for parents who want screen time that actually works. It’s fun, safe, and full of games that get kids off the couch without turning parents into personal trainers. My girls are happier, more active, and I’m thrilled to let them play without worry.

Signed,
Jalyn
