Good but wordy

My daughter is 5 almost 6 and doesn’t read yet so she does need quite a bit of help navigating stuff on this game but once I show her way to do for each section she’s good to go! She enjoys it a lot!

100% recommend!

Great for the whole family! The kids are 4 and 6, and it’s fun for them to play a game on the switch that isn’t just Mario or Kirby. They’re actually learning and challenging themselves. And the game has different levels of difficulty so we can all play at the same time! My husband and I like to play against each other for a little friendly competition. I can’t recommend this game enough!

Fun game

This was fun. I love that young kids to adults can play it. You do need to be able to read for some but I just help my littlest. My teens enjoy it too.

Love it

Really fun game, I used to play it on the DS back in the day so it’s very nostalgic. $20 ain’t bad at all for some throwback vibes

Family fun for all ages!

This game is so much fun. I love that everyone can play it, from preschool and up. It has helped improve my 5 year old son’s memory skills and math skills.

My best purchase of 2022

I bought this game not really knowing what I was getting into, but I love this game now! Def one of my favorites. I can spend hours playing this game. Something that I just learned and I really like about it is that you can play against yourself on the ghost challenges.

Good game and game play. Different.

Never played the original. But this is a really good game. Not too long. But it does challenge you. My only complaint is the advance and intermediate mode is a big jump. I feel like the difficulty level should be more spread evenly.

It's fun, for an hour.

This game is definitely challenging for teens and adults, but there just aren’t enough challenges. Disappointed that we played all challenges in under an hour. They sort of lose their thrill.

New favorite familg game

SO much family fun! Kids love it, but it’s so fun that we’d probably play by ourselves without the kids too. The 8 year old won most rounds, so she just wanted to keep playing & I’m sure she didn’t realize that it was working out her brain. Each player can pick their difficulty level individually, so all ages can play together from young kids to adults! Probably one of the best family games we own. When you first turn it on, don’t be scared off by how it looks. It seems very young/babyish but you’ll quickly change your mind once you start playing.

Great game for 6-yr old flexing brain muscles

My almost 6-yr old loves this game & he’s learning at the same time. He said he likes every game except the clock game. We can play with him too using Advanced class.

Great Educational Game

This game is great for the little (or big) gamers in your life. If you are looking for a good way to leverage gaming and brain exercise – this is a great place to start. If your kids like abcmouse or teachyourmonstertoread (basically the gamification of learning) they should like this. It's not just for kids, but definitely geared toward it.

Favorite family switch game

My daughter is 7 and we love playing this together ❤️ she also enjoy practicing and testing herself to beat me. It’s great everyone can be on their own level and keeps it fun and challenging for all.
