Can a 6-yr old enjoy this? Why is the minimum age so high (at 8)?

I think a 6 year old would enjoy it. The minimum age is probably because older children hopefully demonstrate good judgement when using the toy. My girls don't always shoot at each other. Instead they set up a target and try to outshoot each other! It is a good toy to get them outside to play and use their imagination.

I would say it depends on the 6 yr old. They can certainly physically manage to play with it, but like anything that can potentially hurt someone, they need to have good judgment, ie, not shooting someone else in the face. More a liability thing. Fun for all ages though.

I've found that it depends on the child. My 8 year old caught on fairly quickly and plays with us regularly. His friend, however, wasn't quite ready for the complexities of the game. So I'd suggest giving it a try and seeing if the child/ren can understand the game and find it enjoyable. (All of this is mainly speaking about the basic game rather than the expansion listed here.)

It is easy enough for 10 year olds to enjoy, and I think most 8 year olds could play it (but maybe not appreciate it very much). I'm 33 years old, and enjoy it too.

It could be any age but definitely over 6. I am an adult and I enjoy it as well.

I have not seen it but my boys (8 & 9) want it too, so we think we may spring for it. BUT a word of advice from a mom who bought way too many toys too early for them (when the were 5 & 6). Wait. We bought a pool/ping pong/air hockey combo table and it's trashed. All the games we bought for them at that age are missing pieces. Unless your 6 yr old is really mature, I would wait a year or two if I were you.

Yes it would be fine for a 6 yr old. My 3 yr old can use it. The only con for this player is that there isn't a volume control for the microphones. They are loud if they put their mouths right next to it. If they move it back the volume will decrease. 6 yr olds would probably understand that. The 3 yr old doesn't.

I have played w/6 year olds. You just have to pick which cards to read to them. It's easy to do during the game or separate them ahead of time. No problem.

No, 6 is too young. I played with my nephews and nieces, the younger one is 7.5. He got the idea, but not fully. I'd wait at least one more year, if I were you.

Yes, I believe that a 6 year old may love it. The colors are associated to the music that is on the box and the 6 year old will totally try to make music.

My 7 & 8 year old girls can ride this fine. They are smaller than average for their age though. If your 6 year old is really tall it might be tight. But otherwise should be fine :)

I think the 3 yr old will be too small and unsteady to play this game. It's a lot of fun but even adults have trouble making the connections of the pieces. Start the 6 yr old slowly without keeping any type of score.

Since this is a group game ,played with partners, it is possible for an 18 month old who knows a lot about Disney characters, and who can talk, to play this game. But I suspect that most 18 month olds would not really be into the game so much as enjoying the group laughter and perhaps being allowed to draw things or use the play dough type modeling clay while someone older was actually playing the game with another partner.

This activity is very appropriate for an 8 year old. It has a nice age span of about 6 to 12. I bought it for my granddaughter in June. My girls had one 30 years ago and wanted it for the granddaughter!

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.

I think your almost 5 year old would love it. It has play value beyond the age suggestion and would help spur your almost 5 year old into different types of imaginative play. My youngest great-nephew, who is 4, loves it. But his older brother, who is 7, loves it too and together they play happily for a few hours. If those 2 high energy boys can actually play together for a few hours, it makes me believe the toy has lots of play value. I hope this helps.

Not in my opinion. My son has some friends that age, and they have really enjoyed it as well. Hope that helps!

I'd say it's best for 2/3 to 6/7 year olds. I have a 3 yr old and 5 yr old who play with it a ton (both girls) and their big brother (8 yrs old) joins in sometimes but loses interest quickly.
