BITZEE Magicals Interactive Toy & Digital Pet, Ages 5+

When I saw a review of this appearing on YouTube randomly one day, it brought me back to my childhood when I used to play with virtual pets as a kid, except you couldn't touch the screen at the time. This takes it up a notch. It's a very cute toy that lets you take care up to 15 pets but I do kinda wish it'd take you time to level them up because when I first started playing with this it took less than 30 minutes-1 hour to get everyone leveled up. I haven't gotten bored of taking care of my pets though yet but do wish it wasn't too easy to level them all up. I do like the technology that it uses too. It looks like a hologram but you can touch it from the top unlike other virtual pets I used to own when I was a kid in the 2000s. I understand that it does flicker and the motor can be a little annoying at first but I gotten used to it and understand it's not the technology's fault. I'm not sensitive to flashing lights which isn't too bad but I'd be careful if you do buy this toy if you're sensitive to flashing lights or just avoid it for safety reasons. I think all the animals are very adorable and love the mercat the most. I just don't understand why in the instruction list it gives you a rarity scale for each pet when in reality, it's easy to get them all. I originally thought it meant you might not get every pet in the checklist but found out that those are the 15 pets you can get and it's pretty easy to get them too. Doesn't bother me much but why does it need a rarity scale when it's easy to get all the rares and legendaries over time? Plus some of the animals do make the same sounds as some other pets but it doesn't bother me much. Games are pretty easy to do. Simple but fun to play with. Sometimes the shaking won't recognize and you have to be quick enough but overtime I got it. Battery life is supposed to be up to 5 hours or so but battery life is still pretty great after playing for two days along with taking breaks over time. I would definitely recommend taking breaks often from the flashing lights and to also save battery life. Touching the screen and the touch bar is pretty easy to use. Just be gentle to it and don't mess with the screen. Don't poke the front of it, pinch the top, etc. Just a light tap on the top. As for starting your Bitzee, I do like the dog so much but I wish for each pod you buy or if you decide to restart your Bitzee, it'd give you a different pet instead the same animal. Not a huge deal but it'd have been cool if I gotten someone different first than a dog for each new Bitzee pod For future releases if this becomes popular enough, I'd love to see more pets in a series two pod or maybe if they decide to make new Bitzees from licenced stuff like Pokemon or Disney. I'd love to see that happen. I'd also love to see like more fantasy pets like dragons or sea monsters. I'd love to see this become popular especially for the holiday season this year since alot of people are saying this will become the hottest toy of the season which I do believe that. Overall I love this toy so much. Very much reminds me of my childhood owning toys that lets you take care of a animal or like a tomgatchi, but this time you can touch it. I know this is marketed towards kids obviously but I think adults will enjoy this too I feel like especially those who love to fidget with things and distract themselves like I do. I'm wheelchair bound and love to fidget with things. I'd consider this a fidget toy but kids do need to be careful with playing with the screen or not dropping it. Hopefully overtime the flexible screen won't be damaged overtime or the motor because I did read concerns about it but I think it'll be fine if you're careful with it. I'd love to see more series of Bitzees in the future ☺️ Thank you for reading

I'm 67 years old and own a cat. Still, I love playing with this little toy. Eventually, I began to burn out as I collected all the pets, and they all evolved. Still, I pick this toy up from time to time to check in on my friends. I also picked up the Harry Potter version. I can't stand that. It's nothing like this game. I'm considering throwing it away.

My 9 year old loves her BITZEE! Battery life is awesome and it entertains for long periods of time. It's also very interactive so beats being on a screen. It's really cool how it works too! If you need a present for an 7-9 year old, this is a GREAT choice.

I don’t get it, personally; however, my granddaughter was giddy excited when she opened it. And she was smiling ear to ear. So I would say the appearance and playability are excellent!

Very small. My daughter loves it. It is a cute toy and looks well made. The navigation of the toy and how it works took me some time to understand but kids get it fast.

My 8 year old loves this thing so much that she hasn't put it down since she got it. It was the star of the show for Christmas and I got so many hugs for getting it for her. This is basically the modern take on the old school Tamagotchi's, but it has a fluttering led bar that zips up and down at an extremely high rate of speed to mimic the appearance of an actual digital pet floating in midair. Seems weird at first, but that fluttering light bar also allows you to feel like you are really touching the animal, very cool in action. Also, the light bar seems flimsy at first and I was scared it would break, but it is apparently very well made because we have had no issues with it breaking, cracking or distorting (and my kid is pretty hard on her toys, unfortunately) There are about 20 different pets that you can collect within every Bitzee, that you can interact with, take care of and also play digital games with. At first I thought each Bitzee hardware had its own unique pet, but every one actually includes all of them...just have to put in a little work to unlock all of them; which adds an almost RPG element to the hardware as you can unlock and then level them up and evolve them via playing with it, feeding it, showing it love, etc., my daughter is obsessed with trying to find and unlock all of them! A coworker of mine saw this when I originally bought it and got decided to get one for her kid. Just as I expected, that was the star of their Christmas as well. If you are a parent looking for the perfect gift for a 5-10 year old child, then do yourself a favor and grab one of these, you will not regret it! Really awesome toy for a very reasonable price.

I purchased this for my daughter's birthday. She's really enjoying it. People compare it to the tamogachi or whatever we had as kids but honestly it seems way easier than I recall our old ones being. Maybe I was lousy back then :D. The screen is very flimsy. Even researching and reading reviews I had a false impression. It's just a sheet that flickers real fast, like a single fan blade moving up and down. This is why the title. I'm epileptic but not typically photo-sensitive. I can play video games fine. Flashy action moves and such don't bother me usually. Unless I'm already close to a seizure (epileptics will know what I mean, we can tell at times, there's more than just seizures to epilepsy) then lights usually don't bother me. Helping her set this thing up though made me straight up dizzy yesterday. It's worse than a strobe light depending on the frequency of course but compared to many. It flickers so extremely fast. I know in my most touchy time frames like the morning, we have to have a rule for it to not be played with in front of me. The same times I may be playing video games to wake up. If you're photo-sensitive or have anyone who is, keep them away from this please. By all other means, it seems quite enjoyable. Make sure to read the instructions! You can only push down on the screen! So many descriptions say you can "pet" the pets giving a false impression. You cannot "pet" them. You can touch the top of them. If you try coming in from any other angle, you're risking damaging the screen. I thought it was at least a thin screen that slid in and out, not a single sheet that flapped like crazy. So long as she enjoys it and I stay away from it while waking and not feeling well I suppose ...

Bought as a birthday gift for my 6 year old..took us a minute to get the hang of it but its a good gift if your child wants a pet.

Mega gut. Die Kids haben viel Spaß

Buena calidad precio

Received as described. All good.

This is my child’s new favourite toy, and mine to! It came fast and well packaged. The toy itself works great and has even taken some falls but still works perfectly! We have been enjoying collecting all the little pets and the tutorial at the beginning did a great job at explaing how to play.

J’ai reçu le colis comme s’il était reconditionné…J’émets des réserves pour le moment car c’est un cadeau que je dois offrir le week-end prochain. J’espère que si cela ne fonctionne pas, il y aura un échange.
