- The Active Life Mat – The specially-designed mat controller is bundled with the game so you can jump straight into the action (game also available standalone)
My Thoughts
My kids loved this game for the sheer competition of it, healthy competition I might add! They had so much fun running and jumping and laughing, it is the perfect game for them to play especially during family game night where we can all gather around and have fun. Good graphics and hours of fun, unless of course they get tired out and pass out before they can play again like my toddler did. She played too even though she didn’t understand the concept she did run like mad, even won once on accident lol.
I have an extra copy of Active Life Explorer for one lucky Dirty t Shirt reader to win, please see rules below to enter to win today. Prize is not guaranteed to arrive before the holidays. Oh yeah, before I forget, Exotic adventure and bananas just got together too! Chiquita Bananas has partnered with NAMCO BANDAI to launch the new Active Life Explorer video game.

My family enjoys spending time together. Our favorite time is the end of the day eating dinner together, talking, sharing stories of the day, many times laughing. We also love movie or game night – popcorn is required.
We love to sit down and play an old-fashioned game of Sorry! Thanks for the contest!
