Object
Be the first to launch all three of your Aliens to safety!
Charge Your Drone
- Before you can play, you must make sure it has "fuel"!
- Using the included USB cord and your own wall charger, plug in the Drone and let it charge for 10 minutes.
Set Up
(once your Drone is "fueled up"!)
- Add 4 AAA batteries to the Launch Pad.
- Attach the Launch Ramps to the Launch Pad.
- Make sure the Drone is on the Launch Pad.
- Each player chooses which color Aliens to use, and then gather those three and place them near the end of the Launch Ramp you'll be using.
- Place one of your Aliens in front of the launch lever at the end of your Launch Ramp and practice hitting the lever to launch your Alien down the ramp.
Play
- Each player should place one Alien in front of their launch lever, with their finger ready to strike the lever!
- Everyone countdown "3...2...1...DRONE HOME!" and then start racing!
- All players are trying at once to land their Aliens inside the Drone so they can fly away!
- Once an Alien lands inside the Drone, there is a short pause before the Drone liftoff, so there is time to launch your Alien down to knock out another Alien and maybe take its place!
- If the Drone flies away with an Alien, that Alien is now out and that player is closer to winning!
- Note: The Drone can launch with more than one Alien inside, and it counts for each player whose Alien flies away!
- Once the Drone launches and gets at least a foot away from the Launch Pad, the Alien(s) is considered out!
- Any Aliens who fly away with the Drone are placed out of play. Toss them in the game box or set them off to the side; you can no longer play with them. This makes it a bit trickier to play because you have fewer Aliens to race the closer you get to winning!
- As you play, you're going to have to get up and gather your Aliens that perhaps ran off the table or onto the floor...and that's part of the fun!
Winning the Game
The first player to get all of their Aliens to liftoff with the Drone wins!
If there's a tie...play a liftoff tie-breaker with winning players racing to see who can launch an Alien first and declare victory!
Please note: The intention of this game is for your child to launch aliens to safety and watch the drone takeoff. Children should not stick hand/fingers into the propellers of the drone. Before playing the game, make sure it is not directly below a light fixture, fan or anything else that can easily be broken or cause damage to the drone.
