Can you please give examples of some questions. I want to know the level of understanding needed for children to play this

"what upsets you most in the world?" "which animal is your favorite?" "when did you last cry and why?" I highly recommend this game for all ages! It is great fun for our 4 year old and the whole family.

It's a good range of simple to more meaningful (we started playing it when my girls were 3 and 5 and while the 3 year old's answers were more simple and innocent, she was mostly able to understand the concept): "If you could choose your own name what would it be?", "What do you day dream about?", "Which smell don't you like?", "Is it easy for you to say 'sorry'?", "Who is your favorite teacher and why?", "What is the best thing you have learned in life?"

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.)

I definitely would consider the recommended age on the box. Beyond that I would say that it is a game that takes some time to learn a good strategic approach to. This will probably take some more time for kids to learn to play competitively than adults but with that being said; I think they can enjoying playing with the whole family and will enjoy it more once they get the hang of the game.

My kids have played it and they are 5 and 7. My 5 year old picked the rules up pretty fairly quickly and my 7 year old figured it out right away. Both of them enjoyed it a lot. I imagine ages 4-10 would be a good range.

You can learn from the instructions that come in the box. There are many Youtube videos that show you how to play too. It's cool because it can be a different game each time you play.

I own the game and I would say about 8+, or really any child who is adept at using a DS and can read words with 10-12 characters and understand. It does demand a decent understanding of the English language and a basic understanding of how towns work and what "ordinances" are and things like that. Nothing is inappropriate or bad for young eyes/ears but it takes a good amount of knowledge to decipher the directions and conversations.That being said, if you plan on helping the child out with reading and things and play time, it's perfectly fine for any age :).

My 7-year-old grandson plays very well. He's a second-grader and can read quite well. If you little one can't read, no problem, make sure they play with an older child or an adult. We love it.

There are a wide variety of questions -- some would be easy enough for a 6 year old (like, name 3 items in a locker) but some would not (3 professional hockey players or South American countries). I wouldn't play it with a group of 6 year olds but it would work as a family game.

I am sorry but don't know what your asking about. I bought for my 4 year old to play with.

As others said, it's a maze. I worked it about 4 or 5 times so that I could be able to help my 10 year old if he had difficulty on Christmas morning. I wanted to memorize it but was only able to memorize about the last half...it is extremely difficult. There are about 3 layers to the maze....very tricky. I would not give it to a child under about 13.

You can choose which question you want to have answered out of the 5 on the card, but some are more adult (nothing inappropriate, but just "heavy" in thinking) related. We play it with my nieces who are 11, 13 and 17. We get silly with the answers. If you have Apples to Apples, it is much like that but this is much more fun because individuals can write their own answers instead of picking from the ones in their hands and in Apples to Apples the kids may not understand/know about some of the history/people. There are other versions of the game, can't tell you what the name of the board game is but it is similar to Say Anything.

I think a kid as young as 10 has played. Not sure how much enjoyment anyone younger than that will get out of it. Basically, if they are old enough to play Risk they may have fun.

My nine year old loves it. He is good at math and knows his basic math facts. My seven year would not be able to play it (she struggles with math, and it would be a little boring for her). Not sure how how to change the rules, but it's just numbered tiles. You could probably come up with something, or find alternate rules online.

Yes, the concept of the game is fairly simple and it is a collaborative game versus a competitive one. I would put the bottom age range at about 8 years old, whom should be able to easily pick up the rules and what to do

It depends on the child. My grandson and I have played since he was quite little. Also depends on how many hints you want to give.

Yes, definitely appropriate. Depending on your child, they might be a little bored by it- I LOVE this game, and always have an AMAZING time playing- but much of the humor lies in people getting trivia answers very wrong, and a lot of kids probably wouldn't get it. For an old soul, absolutely!

If you are asking whether there are any instructions for building- only the examples on the box illustration are shown. However, this is by no means a deterrent. The children I work with create all kinds of things, no two alike, and they do this by exploration- the best learning tool there is. There are no shortages of creative possibilities that arise out of just playing with the magnetic edges and seeing how things work. The children have even solved problems like sagging roofs on a large structure by seeing that they need to build a column or supports to hold it up. They are the most in-demand toy in my play therapy room. I had to get another set for the waiting room!
