Millions of Trampoline Jumps: How Playfinity's JumpGames Keeps Kids Moving and Having Fun

This summer, we saw kids worldwide hit an exciting milestone: over 5.7 million jumps in just 90 days with JumpGames! It's an incredible stat that showcases the power of Active Gaming, transforming something as simple as jumping on a trampoline into a fun, competitive, and highly interactive experience. As kids head back to school, we’re thrilled to celebrate this achievement and encourage families to keep the fun going, reminding them that staying active doesn’t have to end with summer.

What is JumpGames?

Imagine your kids jumping on the trampoline for hours, but instead of just bouncing around, they’re unlocking new levels, competing against friends around the world, and climbing the global leaderboards—all while getting a great workout. This is JumpGames, our groundbreaking product that turns any trampoline into a global gaming hub. It is a smartband that goes around the ankle and connects to a free app full of games and a global community. By combining physical and digital play, JumpGames challenges today’s kids to jump, move, and play in exciting new ways.

Just as platforms like Peloton and Strava have revolutionized fitness tracking for adults by combining exercise with real-time data, global competition, and community engagement, JumpGames brings a similar innovation to kids. It turns their trampoline into an interactive fitness hub that tracks every jump and trick, motivating them to stay active while having fun. With real-time global leaderboards and challenges, JumpGames gives kids the same thrilling sense of achievement and connection that Peloton riders and Strava athletes experience, making fitness an engaging game.

The beauty of JumpGames lies in its ability to turn physical activity into a fun and immersive adventure, keeping kids active more often and for longer. 

Why JumpGames is an Innovative Solution for Active Play

In today’s world, screen time is an inevitable part of our kids' lives, but we are reshaping the narrative. Instead of simply limiting screen time, our Active Games  transform it into something positive—active time. 

Here are just a few reasons why JumpGames is such a game-changer:

Sports and gaming together 

JumpGames doesn’t just track jumps; it creates immersive gaming experiences that keep kids engaged, motivated, and moving. With different game modes and challenges, kids are inspired to jump higher, try new tricks, and beat their personal bests, all while competing with others across the globe. Exercise becomes something to look forward to.

Trampoline Global Competitions

Kids aren’t just playing alone—they’re part of a worldwide community of jumpers. They can compete with friends, challenge kids from other countries, and see how they rank on global leaderboards. This competition brings an extra layer of excitement, encouraging them to push harder and stay active longer.

Easy to Set Up, Fun to Play

Getting started is simple. All it takes is attaching the smartband to your ankle, connecting it to the free app, and the fun begins. The technology is intuitive, hassle-free and safe for kids.

Immersive Sound Effects and Music

For a gaming experience to be truly immersive, it needs to sound realistic. JumpGames features real-time sound effects, music, and audio feedback that pull kids into the action. This makes every jump feel exciting, helping to keep kids engaged and energized throughout their playtime.

Screen Time and Physical Play

At Playfinity, we believe in finding balance. We know that kids love technology and gaming, but we also know that keeping them active is key. JumpGames is one of our solutions to this modern challenge, seamlessly blending technology with physical play

We don’t aim to replace organic, unplugged play—those moments of free play, creativity, and imagination are invaluable. Instead, our Active Games resonate with their time and expectations of digital play and enhance playtime by motivating kids to challenge themselves in ways that traditional play might not always inspire. With Active Gaming, kids don’t have to choose between their screens and staying healthy—they can have the best of both worlds.

As we look back on this summer of 5.6 million jumps, we’re excited about what lies ahead. Our mission at Playfinity is to create a future where Active Gaming becomes a natural part of playtime, encouraging kids everywhere to embrace movement, fitness, and fun!
