Wooden Tots wins exclusive UK distribution rights for Mindball

Mind strength game Mindball set to take the UK market by storm.

Posted by Staff
Luxury Toy Company Wooden Tots has signed an exclusive deal with Swedish developers Interactive Productline to distribute Mindball the revolutionary next generation mind strength game within the UK.

Mindball is a truly revolutionary gaming concept that is set to capture the UK public's imagination and take the leisure market by storm. Mindball goes against the conventional competitive concept of game playing and reinvents the relationship between man and machine. Instead of activity and adrenaline, it is mind control and inner strength that set aside the truly successful Mindball player.

What is Mindball?

In Mindball two people challenge each other and take their respective positions at each end of a table that is laid out with two goals and a ball. The object of the game is to move the ball and score goals using just their brainpower. The calmer and more relaxed a player is the stronger their brain waves become, making them a more effective Mindball player.

The recommended charge per player is £4 with each game lasting approximately three minutes. Mindball is exclusively available in the UK from Wooden Tots either to purchase for £13,500 including VAT or on lease and profit share option arrangements.

Both players wear a strap around their forehead that contains electrodes, which are wired to a biosensor system. The system measures the body's biological signals, and registers the electrical activity or EEG (electroencephalogram) in the brain that controls the movement of the ball.

Lee Jones, co-founder of Wooden Tots commented, "Mindball is a unique concept that we are sure will grab the imagination of the Gaming Public in the same way the first ever computer game did, not just in the UK but around the World. As Mindball does not depend on general knowledge, strength or tactics it truly allows people of different ages and abilities the chance to compete against each other on an equal basis."

Where can Mindball be played?

Mindball is a very exciting and social game as the audience can follow the progress of the match by viewing the ball's movement on the table, watching the more or less relaxed expressions of the players or by monitoring the player's brain activity in a diagram on a screen.

The outcome of the match is rarely obvious since the transition between calm and stress, and vice versa, can occur quickly. Often, the ball will be moved backwards and forwards by the competitors for a few minutes before the game is finally won.

Jones concluded, "We anticipate widespread interest in Mindball from a variety of sectors within the leisure and entertainment industries and in particular the National Gaming Companies with multiple sites. We can see Mindball being played at a variety of locations from sitting rooms, schools, leisure centres, bars and clubs to the likes of health farms and corporate offices."
