An interactive electronic toy system, comprising: a challenge repository storing a plurality of challenges or games to be completed by a user using the interactive electronic toy system; a housing, including first and second housing portions (102a, 102b) attached to one another, such that a hollow is defined therebetween; a plurality of buttons, each of said buttons being selectively depressible and being accessible from an exterior of said housing, each of said buttons being at least partially transparent; a plurality of illuminators disposed within said hollow, such that each specific button of said plurality of buttons has at least one corresponding illuminator of said plurality of illuminators disposed thereunder, such that illumination of said at least one corresponding illuminator is visible through said specific button; a plurality of pressure sensors disposed within said hollow, each pressure sensor of said plurality of pressure sensors being disposed under, and being associated with, a corresponding one of said buttons, and is adapted to provide an electrical signal when said corresponding one of said buttons is depressed or released; a processor, functionally associated with said challenge repository, said plurality of illuminators, and said plurality of sensors; a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing software modules including instructions to be executed by said processor, said non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored: instructions to receive a selection of a specific challenge; instructions to provide to the user instructions for completing said specific challenge; instructions to present said specific challenge visually to the user, by illuminating a subset of said plurality of buttons; instructions to receive a challenge response from the user, in which the user responds to said specific challenge by at least one of moving said housing and depressing at least one of said plurality of buttons; and instructions to provide feedback to the user, based on said received challenge response, by illumination or de-illumination of one or more of said plurality of buttons; and at least one power supply adapted to provide power to said plurality of illuminators, said plurality of pressure sensors, and said processor. a challenge repository storing a plurality of challenges or games to be completed by a user using the interactive electronic toy system;
