THE LOOPZ SHIFTER™ GAME FRAME

When you remove Loopz Shifter™ from the box, it will be folded in
half and snapped together in “Doublestack” position. To open
the game unit, simply take the two wide uprights (the ones
that house the speaker and the buttons) and pull them
apart until they “unsnap” from each other.

The First Time You Play

If it’s there, remove the pull-tab from the slot on
the side of the unit.

Starting a Game

1. Fold Loopz Shifter™ into the desired shape.

2. Turn on Loopz Shifter™ by pressing the POWER button.

3. When Loopz Shifter™ says “Select Game,” wave your
hand through the flashing loops to scroll through the
list of games.

4. To confirm your game choice, wave your hand through
either of the unlit loops.

5. Depending on the game you select, you may also be
prompted to choose number of players, music tracks or
whether you want to play in “SHIFTER MODE” (we’ll
cover that in more detail under each game’s
description). Cycle through your choices using the
flashing loops and confirm your selection using the
unlit loops.

6. To return to the top of the Game Menu, press the HOME button at any time.

7. To turn off Loopz Shifter™, press and hold the POWER button.

TIPS ON “WAVING” YOUR HANDS

Move your hands quickly in and out of the loops. Your hand doesn’t need to pass completely
through the loop – just far enough to break the sensor beam.

Keep your fingers together. If your fingers are spread, you may accidentally trigger the
sensors multiple times and receive an error message.

BACK

Correct

Hold your hands parallel with the uprights to better trigger the sensors. If your hands are
parallel with the table when they move between the uprights, the sensors will have a harder
time reading your movements.

Correct

When playing a game, two loops may light up simultaneously. If that happens, move both of
your hands through the two loops at the same time.

Incorrect

Incorrect

For best performance, use only alkaline batteries.

Replace batteries when lights dim, sounds become distorted, or sensors misread your
movements or trigger on their own.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

DOUBLESTACK CONFIGURATION

Loopz Shifter™ has 3 volume settings, “3” being the loudest. You can change the volume at any time
by pressing and holding the HOME button. The unit will cycle through the different volume settings,
calling out each one. When you reach the desired setting, release the HOME button.

SCORING

Loopz Shifter™ will call out your score at the end of each game, as well as remembering the high
score for each game. NOTE: If you remove the batteries or the batteries go dead, all high scores will
reset to zero.

If more than one person is playing, Loopz Shifter™ will announce the winner.

Depending on how well a player does, Loopz Shifter™ will award them different titles. From lowest
to highest, the titles are Rookie, Rock Star, Mega Star and Loopz® Legend.

THE SHAPES

If Loopz Shifter™ is folded in half and you want to open it, just pull the wide uprights (the ones
housing the speaker and buttons) away from each other until they pop apart.

The differently colored bands capping some of the uprights are hinges. To reconfigure
Loopz Shifter™, just pivot a section at its hinge.

Loopz Shifter™ can be folded into 5 optimum shapes for game play.

The Wall

TIP: Doublestack unlocks a more challenging way to play. When you first start out, you might want to
begin with the other shapes first.

To fold Loopz Shifter™ into Doublestack, you must fold it so the pin on one end of the unit snaps
into the socket on the other end. When properly configured, the unit will say, “Doublestack!”

Directional Tracking

Doublestack unlocks a whole different way to play. When a loop lights up, not only do you
have to wave your hand through that loop, but you also have to do so in the correct
direction!

The lights on only one side of a loop will flash – this is the side of the loop your hand must
pass through first, and your hand must move completely through the loop. If you begin your
swipe from the unlighted side, you will get an error.

Start your swipe on the side with the light!

If both sides of a loop light up, chop your hand down and up.
