Customer Reviews

Wow, great family fun
We bought this and have so much fun with it. But it doesn't tell you that you need to read the book before playing (common sense I guess). But so much fun. My son and I actually play against a friend and his mom all the time. Great fun and I recommend it to anyone.

GREAT VALUE
I can't believe how much fun we've had with this game. It's not your typical board game, it gets you up and moving, tieing knots, making paperairplanes, performing feats, and brain challenges. I bought this game as a gift filler and am so happy I did. The boys love that the girls have to say "Boys are Fantastic, Girls are elastic" in order to play.

Excellent toy on its own, but great with the book, too
My son is just getting into reading, but he loved the book that goes along with the game and we love playing the game as a family--even without having read the book. Although he's on the young age for the book, he was still able to read it and we are able to play the game without any problems.
