NFC Toys
NFC toys like Amiibo, Skylanders, and Disney Infinity figures can be used with Zaparoo. These toys contain NFC chips with game-specific data that can't be used directly, but their unique ID (UID) can be read and mapped to custom actions.
Supported toys
- Amiibo - Nintendo's collectible figures and cards
- Skylanders - Activision's collectible figures
- Disney Infinity - Disney's collectible figures
- Lego Dimensions - Lego's interactive game figures
How they work
Unlike regular NFC tags, these toys can't be written to with ZapScript. Instead, you scan the toy to get its UID, then create a mapping that tells Zaparoo what to do when it sees that UID. The Zaparoo App makes this easy with a built-in mapping editor, or you can create mapping files manually.
