Purchase was easy. Service was quick. Took the game when we went camping recently and had a ton of fun playing it for the first time. Good quality board and bags. Love the abacus. Looking forward to pulling it out over the summer break!

Get Active with great equipment

Had a really great interaction with Haylee who was so incredibly helpful and always there to answer questions. The kids loved trialling the equipment. Once we had ordered, the equipment came really quickly. The equipment is beautifully crafted and made so well. We can't wait to use this equipment for many years to come. Many many thanks!

Hi Anne-Marie,
it has been such a pleasure to work with you and your lovely students.
I'm really looking forward to the teach the teachers session too.
The games will have such an impact on the students now and in the future.

Friendly, easy, and quick

They responded in under an hour, while competitors took days. When they had questions about my order, they called me directly.
10/10 will order from them again :)

Item broke after first use

Item broke after first use. Blew over in the wind. I would assume that if something is designed for outdoors that it should be able to handle a little bit of the wind. Unfortunately, I don't think the price is an indication of good quality.
