The time for finding those must have gifts to give this holiday season is upon us, and when it comes to finding my kids those gifts that they are sure to enjoy, I like to find toys that are challenging and fun. With my eldest son, he finds that when it comes to the things he likes, he likes both military toys and games. The military aspect comes from the fact that his dad is a former Marine then his aunt and several uncles as well as many other family members, all served for our military. So when we were sent the INVICTA Challenge’s Flash & Thunder to review, I right away knew that this would be a perfect gift for him!
With this set, my son gets all of the items he needs to take on the mission ahead which includes a operations packet, 2 detailed maps, a great graphic novel and a fun collectible paratrooper figure, which is all tied into the game that he can play on the app.
With the app, my son can take on the role of the character that is depicted in this set. The story that the game Flash & Thunder is based from is the true story of a Native American paratrooper on D-Day.
The app has a challenging game which takes kids on the mission ahead as Turner Turnbull, who is a Lieutenant in the 82nd Airborne. We found that with this set, you get a action packed game that is unlike any other we have played, allowing my son to take the tools that are included in this pack so he can utilize them to get the full extent of the game! Making INVICTA Challenge’s Flash & Thunder a must have set to get and give to kids age 8-14 on your lists this holiday season, and to help with the holiday shopping the wonderful people from INVICTA Challenge would like to give one of my readers their own INVICTA Challenge’s Flash & Thunder set!
Product received, thank you to INVICTA Challenge as well as the PR for supplying me with a product for this review, all opinions are my own.
I like that this combines the interactivity of a video game and a story about a historic event. The fun this would provide could help spark an interest in history and learning.
I like that it gives you top secret missions to do. My nephew would have so much fun with this and learn too.
