Anki Overdrive Christmas Event

21 November 2016 by Eileen 3 Comments

We were thrilled to be invited to the Anki Overdrive event in London yesterday.  Mr K loves racing cars and Anki is just the type of battle-racing game that really appeals to him.  We had recently seen them exhibit their newly launched Supertrucks at shopping malls and now Mr K finally had the chance to test it out at the event!

I love the look and feel of the tracks which is simple to set up.  The track is flexible and fixed together magnetically.  There are many kits for you to buy to design your own ultimate track, for example, speeds, corners, collusions, rails, bank turns etc!  With these kits you can create your track to go up and down bumps, over carpets and bridges, and create great racing inclines and slopes.  You are no longer limited to racing on boring straight tracks!

The kits are available to buy now from the Anki website, good toy stores and Amazon.  Here are some of the kits available from Amazon:

  • Starter Kit
  • Collison Kit
  • Speed Kit
  • Corner Kit
  • Launch Kit
  • Freewheel Super Truck
