There are different levels of difficulty. I would say it may be a challenge for the 5 year old. My 4 year old likes playing with it even though he can't get from start to finish but he is still having fun. Definitely fun for older kids and parents/grandparents. It does develop good eye-hand coordination, requires concentration and patience. I love it myself.

Yes. My 34 year old son-in-law is enthralled and frustrated when he can't win. It drives me to the martini bar. Ha!

Hi, The Perplexus package has all levels of skill. A 5 year old might find them a little fustrating. I even bought a set of four for myself. What I like most about them is no small parts to pick up. My grandkids beat me on these games with there steady hands and sharp eyes.

I have a granddaughter who is 6 years old and she is trying to master the Original puzzle. The Epic and the Twisting puzzles may be a little too much for a 5 year old. They are definitely more difficult than the Rookie and Original. I would recommend either the Original or Rookie for the age range of your g-grandchildren. The "package" deal will accomodate that along with the challenging advanced puzzles for older children or adults. However, all of them will challenge adults in the beginning. All need to be patiently calm to master any of these puzzles.

It is perfect for my 3 and 4 year old grandchildren. They sit side by side with no problem.

I have 3 and 8 year old boys. They both use them VERY OFTEN and also our main computer recently broke, so Dad and I have been using as well. Great for ALL ages!! I definitely recommend.

I find that 3-10 year olds play with this the most. We have a large extended family with lots of children and they all enjoy playing with it. Boys and girls alike....

My grand daughter enjoys. She is now 6. Keep in mind, you will have to "play" with the child for her / him to enjoy. I personally think the packaging should say "ages 8-" or the like.

One per household would be great. One child could be the leader and the others could be the performers. Switching roles is always fun, older children helping the younger ones. Get Grandma and the folks involved, too.

As a grandmother, I have purchased at least 3 maybe 4 of these (one for me and the others for my grandkids). It is one of the toys that remains out at my home. I have never heard of the sounds going off on it's own. Many of my grandchildren have played with it beyond 2 yrs. old. It really depends on what the child is interested in. All of my children have enjoyed having one at their home as well.

I bought it to use with my 5 year old grand-daughter, but also planning to use it with my 3 year old grandson.

For children it's very good. My grandkids, ages 7 to 13, enjoy it. People much larger than that will find the "cockpit" a little too small for comfort.

Yes, I have 9 grandkids, they are in love with the game. I ordered the game for each family, as my Easter gift, in place of CANDY..

yes; I played with my 2 grandkids, and a couple of times one of their parents played with us. I think more can play, but there aren't a huge # of pieces.

I bought it for first graders. My sister in law bought it for her grand kids, which are your kids ages.

When I bought it my daughter was 3, she loved it. She loves building things though, so if your grandchildren enjoy that then it should be fun for both ages. I bought another set for 2 6 yr old boys and they love it. I think it's a fun all family game. But I believe the package recommended age is 8

I bought it for my 3 year old grandson. He can use it and play with it but for the designs he has help from his older brothers and parents. his older brothers are 15 and 17. and my 22 year old daughter was playing with it along with his cousins, ages range from 4 to 10. so not a set group but all seem to enjoy it.His dad told me a week later to take the toy home with me cause he wouldn't stop playing with it.

We got this for our 5 yr old granddaughter. She loves it. Our other grandchildren (7 & 9) played it had enjoyed it. Seems to be well made. I would think it would be fine. They have just had it since Christmas.

We bought the SC-300 for our grandchildren ages 7-9. They are having a great time with it and it seems like older children would be ok with it too, maybe up to age 10-11. There are 300 projects with a lot of repetition that an older child may want to skip.
