Would a 13 year old enjoy this?

I think people of all ages (as it says on the box) would have fun with this. It is a project book, so there is not much teaching of electronics in it. You need the student guide to the Snap Circuits sets for that. I am 67 years old, and I am really enjoying the projects. I got a $15 headphone from Best Buy to plug into the audio jack; it really lets you hear the echo. Does the teen enjoy science & possibly electronics? Then this a great set. Best price is from Amazon.

Yes, I think a 13 year old would enjoy this. I'm a 55 year old with an electronics background and I enjoy it. Of course, I don't have an ego to bruise. If the teenager does not know anything about electronics, he or she will probably really appreciate it and enjoy it. It really depends on the teen. Elenco Snap Circuits Sound is not only about learning but also about FUN. It is simple, easy, uncomplicated fun. I suggest you check out the Snap Circuits Sound videos on YouTube. There are lots of things you can do with this.

I think so. Bought it for my 8 year old grandson who loves engineering things to do

I think so, my almost 11 year old has a few of these sets and has had them for several years and still loves them. They is so much they can do with even one set that he's sure to enjoy it.

Yes. I got it for my 13 year old son and it has worked perfectly with no problems.

Might be a little too young for 13 year old. Probably outgrow this set somewhere around age 8 or 9 in my opinion.

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.

A very smart 13 may tire of this quickly, depending on mechanical and electrical aptitude. My 11 year old son of an engineer enjoyed it longer than any other "toy" I have seen him with. I would recommend you give it too your niece with the knowledge that she can upgrade to a more complex kit when she has exhausted the possibilities with this one. I'm sure you and she won't be disappointed.

I would say, no, this isn't appropriate for young teens. The references to drugs and alcohol use as well as the sexual content make it an adult game. You need to look for the How to Host a Teen Mystery made by the same company. My 15 son and his friends have played two of them and had a blast. Amazon sells them too. Here are a few of them; How to Host a Teen Mystery: Barbecue with the Vampire by Decipher, How to Host a Teen Mystery Hot Times At Hollywood High by Decipher, How to Host a Teen Mystery: Hollywood High/Game.

I don't mean to offend by this post but.... It depends on the 13 year old, if he/she does chores and works (like living on a farm) he/she will not have problems. If they play video games all day long they may have problems. They should not have problems for a 13 year old once they get used to a lot is technique and a cocking rope really helps a lot.

They may enjoy it. There are more advanced games available but I'd probably get a Nintendo DS at that age.

No, it's not suitable for a 12 year old. In fact, I would not recommend buying it, because it wouldn't be fun for any aged person.

Absolutely. Great for any age from 7 years and up. It gets increasingly more challenging

It has an 18 age rating. If I was the parent I would not buy it for my child. But, my sister feels my nephew has a maturity at 16 to play it. He grew up in a rough city so he was never going to stay a kid for long. I would hope that no child of 13 has lost their innocence enough to play a game like this, but the world is not that kind to everyone.

this items is very real for adult fun.The maker recommends for 13 or more years old.

I'm 32 and have fun with it. Use it for stress relief at work. We have a few catapults, tribuchets, ballistas, and crossbows that we ambush each other with. Might not be interesting enough for a teenager though, unless they like that sort of thing.

Absolutely! This is something for anyone who likes music - no matter what the age. And it's great as a gift because you don't "grow out of it" like many fad ideas. You might even find yourself playing it sometime!

I would have loved this as a teenager. But as a parent unles your child is very mature be ready to see some interesting color combinations becouse there's alot in there. :)

depends on your intent, I'd say too small for a 13 year old, perfect for a 5-8 year old (ish) in my opinion

I would say Yes! My son is 6 and he likes it. I think 10 year-old would have better understanding and have even more fun.
