Customer Reviews

Fun for kids, but not for their parents
I bought this when my older daughter was 4, and she immediately loved it. At age 8, she still enjoys playing it with her 4 year old sister. No reading skills are needed, so IMO the age ranges can be lowered.

HOWEVER: the adults in the house got really, REALLY bored with the game. Our children weren't able to play it without an adult also taking part in the game until the older one was perhaps 7, so if you want to buy games that you won't mind playing, you may want to give this one a pass.

We have a slightly older version, where clues were hid beneath cardboard cutouts of trees and mailboxes and such; these eventually lost their stiffness.

Super First Real Board Game
This was a gift for my 5 year old son. It was his first "real" board game beyond Candyland, etc. He loves it!!. It's realistic enough that it can be related to everyday happenings, yet the intrigue of solving the puzzle is like being a crime solver. I highly recommend it for this age group.

Love this Game!
My daugther just received this game for her 4th birthday. She played it once at a friend's house and had been talking about it ever since. She was SO excited when she opened this present. The game is so much fun. It is a kids game that I actually like playing. (nice to get a break from Candyland and Chute and Ladders) It is easy to figure out how to play -- just a matter of reading the directions, which are simply written and easy to understand. The object of the game is to find out who ate the cake, what time they ate it and what they had to drink with it. The figures slide into the disc shaped stands and which ever figure has the picture of cake crumbs is the one who ate it. The stands slide off so the person who ate the cake is never the same. It is similar to the original clue game in that you go to the different rooms etc. It is just simplified. The game is designed for 5-8 year olds but my daugther just turned 4 and loves playing it! I do have to help her out a little but eventually she'll be able to play it with out my help. When we're not playing the game, she loves to play "house" with the figures. I'd recommend this for any young dectective or any parent who is looking for a break from other child games!
