A fun and active game for kids and parents!

Review by z hayes, 2010-04-06

My kindergartner has loads of fun with this game, and I love that it gets her moving. It's basically a board game version of the traditional scavenger hunt, and there are instructions as to what objects to find (which are basically items one can find around the house). The game is educational too as players are requested to find objects beginning with certain letters of the alphabet, etc. The little timer (a plastic hourglass) could have done with some tweaking as a timer which buzzes would have been better - especially when players are at the other end of the house. Be prepared for a major clean-up as objects from around the house start piling up in one corner (we play the game in our family room), but it is good fun and provides exercise for the players, so no complaints here!

Great Indoor Game - Makes a big mess

Review by MJ, 2010-02-16

I bought this game for my son for Christmas. He absolutely loves it. The only complaint I have is that it makes for a messy house even with Captain Clean Up at the end of it. If you can get your kids to clean everything up at the end of the scavenger hunt than you are set.

Idea for a less messy version! :o)

Review by L. Johnson, 2010-01-25

We played this game the other day and I almost had a nervous breakdown because of all the STUFF that was being dragged out by everyone and plopped onto the living room floor! I'm okay with normal everyday kid messes, but this was just too much!!! LOL

Anyway, I came up with a fun idea that my kids love just as much, and I thought I would share it here. We all sit down next to my kids' large bookshelf full of kids books, and we play the game exactly the same except we flip through the books to find the items! (You could use magazines too if you have lots of those, but we like the children's books) It actually made it much easier for my 3-year-old to play and he loved when he found things faster than his big brother!

So much fun for my 3 and 5 year olds!

Review by Lynn Benson, 2010-01-02

Made this purchase upon reading other reviews. I must say, they're right! Finally a game that's simple enough for all of my kids to play. My 3 year old does not like it when the game is over. My 5 year old is discovering his competitive side. And my 9 year old is having fun being in charge of a game. There are no complicated game pieces, so if something ever goes missing (with kids like mine, that is bound to happen sooner or later) it can easily be substituted so the game can remain in the family for years to come. NOTE: You may want to look through the cards in advance and pull out any that you know you do not have in your home. A cassette tape? -- we haven't had any of those for more than a decade.

Do you have a lot of (your own) kids?

Review by mo my stir, 2009-06-17

If you play this game at home with your own kids, some cousins, some neighborhood kids...your own kids will win big-time. Huge advantage.
How will the other kids know where you keep stuff? Do you want these kids to destroy your house while they're at it? Best to purchase if you have at least 2 children (of your own!)over age 5.
