Honestly, any age. Its a fun co-op game for anyone with a sense of humor. Me and my sister are in are early college days, yet we still played this game. Good story plot and fun animations.

I would say it is meant for ages 5-10 but honestly no one should play it because it is made very poorly.

All ages, my 9 year old son and my 15-year-old daughter play and we also play, especially when it comes to a solution on a level

My son is 6 and is hard for him. He can play all Mario's games , galaxy, galaxy 2, paper, bros, but not this one.

Oh yes, we are a family of adults who play, our grandson who is 6 will usually play with us but we simplified some of the rules so he could play on his own. This is a strategy game that is not too intense. I would say 8 - 12 is a good beginning age but we have fun playing this as a group of 20 to 60 year olds.

I have happily enjoyed playing with my daughter. I don't really think that there is an upper age limit; but an older child may be bored if playing alone. If playing with others, the game is fun at any age.

In stead of stopping at 12 it goes to 18. Only thing we found is pick up cheap calculators it makes game go faster. Lots of fun.

The game comes with simplified, quick start rules. Even with the quick start rules the game would be difficult for a 6 year old; however, he/she should be able to start learning the basic mechanics of the game or play with an adult. The manufacturer recommends 14 years of age or older. See GameBoardGeek.com for more detailed information about this fun game.

Yes 9 year olds will be able to play. As long as they can read they will be able to play - some words may be unknown to them. Alternatively, there is a kids version which is more suitable and the contents relates more to kids categories.

Yes, we play it with our 10-year-old daughter. We help her a bit with the strategy, but she enjoys the game.

The game if played as is, would be appropriate for young children through maybe 7 or 8. Older, depending on the developmental age and ability of of the child. I have modified it by making my own cards for the doors (a simple word template and import your own pictures, numbers, categories, etc.) so it works for older kids.

My granddaughter are 4 & 7 and they both enjoy playing the game although the 4 year old doesn't get the whole idea of the rules yet.

Depends on their focus level. My 12 y/o nephew loves the game and has picked up on parts of the rules that I have missed. I would say not younger than 10 or 11 though.

Depending on who is playing, I think kids 8-10 who play monopoly & enjoy it, and really anyone who enjoy board games!

Can play with 4, more is better. 8 is about max. We have a lot of fun with this game.

Ages 10 and up. It has an auction mechanic so younger kids might have trouble playing it alone. If younger kids were playing it with knowledgable others, then they could cope with it.It's really a nice game. Handy if you don't want to think too hard and want to have fun.

The box says 8 and up, and I completely agree. The average eight year old who enjoys challenging games would be perfectly capable of doing well playing this game. But don't let that fool you -- my husband and I have played countless times with intelligent adults who absolutely love the game, too! It can be a challenge, depending on how deep your 'strategizing' goes.

Kids who are advanced, and anyone who likes games like Scrabble. It's fast and it's fun. My six-year old grand-daughter, who is amazing, could do it with a little help.Great family fun, or with friends. I'd say 8-99.

I would think as young as 4 or 5 is age appropriate for this game. It's about recognition of colors and shapes, so if a child is able to distinguish those, it would be fun. Once they start playing, you will be able to tell if they are able to catch on, and if they aren't, it would be best to put up the game until they are able to catch on easier, to save them from being frustrated and not having fun. I've given these as gifts for kids as young as 4 and 5 and they have loved it. As adults playing with kids, naturally, you allow them to "win" a card to encourage play. It is fun with a group of kids with about the same skill level. My 8 year old can beat some adults! I would think as young as 4 or 5 is age appropriate for this game.

Depends on the kid. My newly turned 7 year son has played a good 5 times or so with me now and basically gets it, but still needs some help...he still loves it though. You can play it with them, but not expect them to play it with a group of kids - requires supervision and aid. Probably more 9-10.
