Hoops is an interactive game that encourages children to become active inside the home. Seven rings light up in a random sequence, and the player is required to jump from lit ring to lit ring to build up a score.

Five games can be played by one or two players. One of the games allows the players to create their own rules, generating imaginative play. Incremental levels of difficulty make the game easy to learn but hard to master.

Hoops is featured in the BBC's story about the 2009 show.
