PIXELS - The ULTIMATE LIGHT UP DICE

Pixels are the coolest dice you’ve ever seen! Full of LEDs, smarts and no larger than regular dice, they can be customized to light up when and how you desire. Incredibly strong, smooth and sharp, they work for several hours at a time, after which you can simply recharge them with the accompanying case. Pixels know which way they roll and can communicate with your phone or tablet via Bluetooth. This means they will work with DnD Beyond, roll20, Foundry VTT or any one of your favorite online platforms.

VIBRANT COLORS

Pixels use RGB LEDs that are individually controlled to give you the most flexibility possible.
Choose dice that will either glow entirely (brighter overall), or only through the numbers (more readable when lit)
and let your creativity decide how they light up.

FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE

Pixels are completely customizable. Thanks to the accompanying app, you are in control of how the dice light up. Want to create a quick colored theme? No problem! Prefer a colorful set of patterns instead. Go right ahead!

Standard Size

We’ve put a lot of effort in Pixels to make sure they are just as easy and convenient to use as regular dice.
We’re really excited to have been able to fit all the electronics inside such small packages.

Incredibly Strong

Another reason for Pixels being completely solid is of course durability. Dice are made to be rolled, tossed, thrown, and obviously: rolled over the edge of a table onto the tile floor. :) Pixels are super strong and don’t expect you to be careful handling them. All the electronics are encased in tough resin. We’re not saying you should take Pixels to space, but the process is the same process used to protect electronics on rockets, so....

Excellent Feel

Because of all the electronics and the battery, Pixels tend to be heavier than regular dice of the same size. As a result they feel really nice in your hands, sound like proper dice, without being nearly as heavy as metal dice.

Smart roll detection and response

Pixels are really smart: they can tell when you pick them up, roll them and what number they land on.
And using the accompanying app, you can control exactly how the dice light up and when.

Create your own Lighting Patterns

At any time you can easily preview your creation directly on a die and make sure the result is exactly what you want.

Excellent Balance

Pixels are not perfect: don’t take them to Vegas! That being said, we have dedicated a lot of time, design and testing to make sure they are as close as possible. With a combination of small counterweights and precise attention to the finish of our edges, we’ve already made Pixels surprisingly well balanced. And of course we will continue to improve the balance before release.

Long Battery Life

The dice use a small rechargeable battery. The battery, while absolutely tiny compared to a typical cell phone, is large enough to power the dice for several hours. In fact, in our tests, we’ve averaged 1000 rolls on a single charge. And if you turn off the LEDs, you can easily make more than 20,000 rolls (Check out the video in the Balance section).

Bluetooth

Pixels speak Bluetooth. This is how the companion app talks to them to reprogram them. It is also how the dice communicate back with the app to tell it what they rolled. In this early version of the app, we use the functionality to have your phone play sound effects based on your rolls.

Connects to your Favorite Platform

The bluetooth protocol used by the dice isn’t proprietary, and many other apps will be able to talk directly to the dice as well. We are already in talks with DnD Beyond, roll20, FoundryVTT, and a few others to integrate Pixels directly.

Recharges Wirelessly

Once you’ve made your 1000 rolls, Pixels will recharge conveniently in the accompanying case. Every single Pixel will come with its own usb charging case. Place the die in its case. Make sure the highest face is up (20 in the case of the D20) and it will recharge in an hour or so.

The lid of the case contains a small magnet that will prevent the dice from turning on and lighting up during transport. Don’t get us wrong, glowing pockets are cool and all, but not being able to show off your dice because their battery is flat isn’t. We wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

Larger Carrying Case

We are offering pixels sets with an optional on-the-go carrying case. This larger case has its own battery, and room for 8 dice. It will be able to recharge all your dice 2 or 3 times before needing to be recharged itself. Great for when you are not necessarily close to an outlet or if you just want to keep your dice topped-up while you play.

The case will let you carry any set of dice. Want a full set? No problem. Need to have 8D6 for some reason? You got it! The case and individual chargers share an insert system so that you can customize which dice you want to carry with you.
