Tapz™ challenges your rhythm and reflexes with flashing sequences of lights and music. Follow the beat as lights pulse down the console’s five different zones. When a light reaches the bottom, just tap the play mat in 

front of the zone – the shockwaves you make control each game!

If you are unable to access the Game Menu…

Make sure the power switch is in the “On” position, not set to “Try Me” mode.

If the Tapz™ console fails to detect your tapping…

Make sure that the play mat is level and that each segment is completely plugged into the hub – there 

should be no debris under any of the segments. Also make sure that the console’s 5 feet are sitting in the 

5 recesses on the play mat segments. Refer to “Tips on Tapping” to make sure you are tapping correctly. If 

this doesn’t work, the batteries may need to be replaced.

If the unit locks up…

Turn Tapz™ off then, after 10 seconds, turn it back on to reset the unit.

If the lights dim or the sounds become distorted…

Replace the batteries as described above.
