PlayMonster Drone Home Game Instruction Manual - Model 7023

Introduction

Welcome to the exciting world of Drone Home! This innovative game is the first to feature a real, flying drone, offering fast-paced fun for the whole family. Players race to launch their alien figures into the drone. Once an alien is inside, there's a brief delay before the drone lifts off, creating opportunities for other players to knock out opponents' aliens. The goal is to be the first player to successfully get all your aliens to escape when the drone takes flight.

This manual provides detailed instructions for setting up, operating, and maintaining your Drone Home game.

Operating Instructions & Game Rules

The objective of Drone Home is to be the first player to successfully launch all their aliens into the drone and have them escape when the drone lifts off. The game is designed for 2-4 players, ages 8 and up.

Gameplay Overview:

• Players use launchers to propel their alien figures towards the central drone.
• If an alien lands inside the drone, it will remain there for a short period.
• During this delay, other players can attempt to launch their aliens into the drone to knock out any existing aliens.
• After the delay, the drone will automatically lift off. Any alien inside the drone when it lifts off is considered 'escaped'.
• The first player to get all their aliens to escape wins the game.

Maintenance

Battery Information:

The game requires 1 Lithium Polymer battery (included) for the drone and 4 AAA batteries (not included) for the launch pad. Ensure batteries are inserted correctly according to the polarity markings.

Care and Handling:

• Handle the drone with care. The drone's blades can be delicate.
• Avoid rough play to prevent damage to game components.
• Store all game pieces in the original box to prevent loss and damage.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

• Drone blades breaking easily: The drone's propellers are designed to be flexible but can break with excessive force or frequent hard landings. Ensure careful handling and avoid impacts.
• Drone not lifting off or poor flight: Ensure the drone's battery is fully charged. Charging with an external wall charger may be faster than the base. Also, check that the drone is correctly seated on the launch pad.
• Short battery life: The drone's battery life can vary. A full charge typically lasts for several flights. Using quality batteries for the launch pad can also impact overall performance.
