StarLux Games: Cobra Strike and Kick the Can
Cobra Strike is a fun and interactive game that is like tag elevated! The game uses clips and magnets that stick on the players clothes. The point of the game is the strike the ‘star’ off of each player while chasing them. The kids had a great time playing this at Container Park and ran around quickly and laughed!
