GAME PLAY WITH R2
GAME MODE DIRECTIONS
The Game Mode is somewhat more advanced than Companion Mode. In this mode, you and your friends can play five fun games with R2-D2:
1.) Light Tag
2.) Room Sentry
3.) Dance Program
4.) Spin the Droid
5.) Answer This
To start, say "Hey, R2!", wait for his response, and then say "Game Mode!" After he responds again, you may go on to any one of the following games. (Note: R2 will stay in Game Mode until you tell him to "Re-set system.")
LIGHT TAG:
Light Tag is a hide-and-seek-style game. Say "Light Tag!" to R2-D2 and he will turn away and count to ten with a series of beeps (if he’s in a mischievous mood, R2 may "cheat" by peeking over his shoulder, or start to seek before he’s done counting!). When hiding, sit on the floor so that you are low enough for R2’s sensors to detect you. After he’s finished counting, R2 will search the room for you or your friends – when he finds somebody, he’ll light up and whistle in triumph! Then say “Hey R2!” to end the game. If he cannot find any hiders for a few minutes, he gives up and emits "sad" and "frustrated" sounds. He will then revert to his default listening mode. This particular game is best played in a semi-dark room. In fact, R2’s infrared sensors and sonar allow him to find you even in complete darkness!
ROOM SENTRY:
In this game, R2-D2 can serve as sentry guard to your bedroom, or any other room. Just place R2 at the entrance of a room and say "Room Guard!" He’ll do a "ten count" by flashing his light – this will allow you to leave the room without triggering an alarm. Then he will go into standby mode and start guarding the room. After that, if anybody tries to sneak past, R2’s sentry light will flash. If his sound sensors or motion detector continue to sense the intruder, R2 will sound his alarm! Tap him on the head to stop the alarm; once you’ve shut off the alarm, he’ll revert to Companion Mode and wait for a new command. If no new command is given, R2 will go back into Room sentry mode.
DANCE PROGRAM:
Say "Dance Program!" and R2 will play cantina music and do a spinning dance! Depending on his mood, he may do a happy fast dance or a sad slow one.
SPIN THE DROID:
This is a great party game. Gather ‘round with a bunch of your friends, and say "Spin the Droid!" R2 will turn his dome around and back, around and back, scanning the crowd, before finally choosing one person by locking onto that person, flashing his light beam and playing a song! Recommended for up to 6 players. For best results, there should be a clear gap between each player.
ANSWER THIS:
Say "Answer This!", then ask R2-D2 a Yes or No question. He’ll answer the question with a happy- sounding "Yes!" or shake his head and beep a negative-sounding "No!" R2-D2 may answer differently depending on his mood. To stop this game, tap R2 gently on the head and tell him to
"Re-set system."
