How to Play
BOP IT XT will command you to do 6 actions in random order!
Respond as quickly as you can. If you respond correctly, BOP IT XT will answer with a sound and another command. But if you're not quick enough, or you respond incorrectly – you're out!
The six commands are:
- Bop It! – Hit either black button!
- Twist It! – Twist the yellow knob!
- Pull It! – Pull the blue knob!
- Spin It! – Spin the orange wheel!
- Flick It! – Flick the green lever!
- Shake It!* – Shake the game unit quickly!
* SHAKE IT can be turned on or off to make the game easier OR more challenging.

Games
Solo Game
Players: For 1 player, or take turns in a multi-player game.
Object: Keep up with BOP IT XT, and rack up the highest score. Play alone and go for your personal best score, or take turns to see who can score highest.
Play: Hit the BOP IT button to start the game. Respond quickly to the commands you hear. If you don't respond in time, or you respond incorrectly, BOP IT XT will end the game! Listen carefully to hear the number of completed actions (your score) at the end of the game. The next time you play, try to beat your last score.
Winning: If you are taking turns and playing the SOLO game in a group, the winner is the player with the highest personal score. Note: Before each SOLO game you play, the High Score (if any) will be announced! Try to beat it!
Pass It Game
Players: For 2 or more players. Face each other or stand in a circle.
Object: Keep up with BOP IT XT, and be the last player "alive" to win.
Play: Choose a player to go first. Hit the BOP IT button to start the game. Respond quickly to the commands you hear. When you hear "Pass It", quickly hand BOP IT XT to the player on your left (and that player continues the game by following the commands). If you don't respond in time, or you respond incorrectly to the command, you're out of the game! Pass it to the next player, who hits BOP IT to continue. For a longer game, give everyone 2 or 3 chances to fail before eliminating them.
Winning: If you're the last player left, you win!
Party Game
Players: For 2 or more players who aren't afraid to get a little silly! Face each other or stand in a circle.
Object: Keep up with BOP IT XT, and use your WHOLE BODY to play. Be the last player "alive" to win.
Play: This game plays like the PASS IT Game, with the following exception: If you hear a body part called out, you must hit the BOP IT button with that part of your body. Players should keep an eye on each other to make sure the right body part was tapped. If not, the player who messed up must stop and is out of the game. For a longer game, give everyone 2 or 3 chances to fail before eliminating them.
Winning: If you're the last player left, you win!
One-on-One Game
Players: For 2 players.
Object: Keep up with BOP IT XT; don't mess up while you're in "control."
Play: Pick your color – green or yellow, then hold the game by that handle. The green player controls FLICK IT and SPIN IT; the yellow player controls PULL IT and TWIST IT. Either player can respond to SHAKE IT. But, if no one responds, you both lose! When you hear "BOP IT," hit the BOP IT button that has your color "XT" logo on it. The game will call out who hit the button first, and award that player one point!
To begin – either player can hit the BOP IT button.
Winning: There are two ways to win 1) be the first to score 5 points; OR 2) if at any time during the game your opponent misses or fails to react … you win!
