Is this too elementary for a smart 13 year old? I don't want to insult my niece's intelligence, just want something fun for her.

No, I don't think it's too easy. The game comes with challenges (pictures showing 100 different starting board layouts), from easy to extremely difficult. IQ Fit, IQ Link, and Bend It are games in the same universe and may be a little more challenging -- definitely none of the smart adults with multiple college degrees we know has made it through all the challenges for any of these. . . (I mean, they aren't spending hours each day trying, either, but none of these games is a slam dunk once you get out of the "beginner" level.)

Not at all!! It has all levels and i even had to look in the back of the book to get it right!! :)

I guess is a good option. I bought it for my nephew, but she is 2 years old, and for now she starts to play with this kind of things, but for a boy of 8 years I think is good.

Our family loved the game but my niece is 18. There are a lot of pop culture references that are older so its harder for young kids to get clues like "Neil Diamond". Don't let it stop you because we can bridge the gap. I am thinking 10 and up!

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.

I gave it to my older two boys, 10 and 7, and it lasted about a week. They are very hard on things. It was made pretty well so I think it will be a great for your niece to fine tune her skills.

I think it is challenging enough for a 12 year old, a bit hard for a four year old but would still really enjoy it with some help. My 9 1/2 year old loves it.A 12 year old would probably tolerate it, it is geared toward kids about 6-10 I think. But it would challenge her since you have to memorize several things at once. I would definitely depend on the child. My 7 and 9 years olds like games Citizens of Catan, Monopoly, and easy ones like yatzee, and uno. I enjoy it as an adult, its fun

This model takes a lot of patience and time. I don't think the age is too young. All kids are different. The instructions get a little "fuzzy" at times, but a little common sense prevails. Good luck and ENJOY.

Absolutely. The artwork is whimsical but that doesn't mean that the game is childish. The box notes 13+ if that is any indication. This game is a blast and adults would get maximum enjoyment out of it and understand/play out strategies the best. We usually play this with folks 25+

I think all three of your kids would still enjoy it. There aren't many overly complicated cards (the only ones I can think of that are crazy are Chaos cards, and those are optional anyway). The game itself is quite random and appropriate for all ages - no swearing, etc. The game keeps everyone on their toes so they honestly could do very well.

For your grandsons 11 and 13 is perfect...but is not a game for kids...and just in case they like strategy games like monopoly or chess....They are gona love it.

It is geared toward younger kids, the games would be too easy for an 8 year old. I think all of them max out at 8 for the age range, (many are 4-6 year old, and some are 5-8). The game system would probably interest them for a few hours or days max.

I too used it on my niece who was 10 and she was able to make the bracelets. I would say it would depend on the 13 year old. My other niece who was 13, was completely uninterested in this. Granted she is going through her teenage transition and is all about "coolness" and this didnt rank for her.

Definitely not. I had a blast playing this with my siblings and we're 33, 30, 27 and 18. She'll love it.

The short answer is that she's probably on the old side for this. My son is now 11 and while he does still tinker with it, I would need to purchase the add on kits to keep his interest. While I think it was a pretty good product, it didn't really fulfill what I had in mind as far as teaching him about electricity and circuitry. It is a bit like one of those science kits, it does something interesting, but doesn't really teach them why. I honestly think this would be a better age range for 6-10 year old's. Hope that helped, good luck and take care.

I see your post is a year old but I'll answer in case someone else is curious. my daughter is the same age and reading very well. I would say skip the Dora and Princess games - they get zero play here. The games's my daughter seems to come back to over and over again are Pet Pals, Puzzled and Junie B Junes (they no longer make it but you can find it on ebay for under $15)

I would say no, this is very complicated, the original (purple and yellow) would be much more a 7 yr olds level and more fun.
