From the judges:
'With its day-night versatility, low running costs, intuitive layout and high quality, this will appeal to children and adults alike. The combination of electronic games with physical play equipment was a stroke of genius. In an age where childhood obesity is an epidemic, this is where design thinking can make a real difference.'
