The Osmo Hot Wheels MindRacers game combines iPad app with real game pieces and figures - an interesting idea! Sounds exciting - I thought - that's why I decided to do a test report on the game. These game elements are, for example, some Hot Wheels cars and small round cardboard game tiles with which you can influence the game. But I knew that the game runs on the iPad and that there is a kind of 'game station' that also includes elements from 'reality' into the game. I didn't know much about the game until the package arrived, just watched some marketing videos. 9 Update /XNUMX/XNUMX: Feedback from my reader DietmarĪ good two weeks ago, Osmo's PR company sent me the game 'Osmo Hot Wheels MindRacers'.7 My conclusion on the Osmo Hot Wheels MindRacers Kit.4 Cooperative mode - perfect for learning!.
