Fun game -- for Kids & Parents Together by M. Khus-zarate (USA)  4 Stars
September 13, 2009
My son and I have had fun playing this game together. He is 10 (I'm a bit older). Some of the puzzle/scenarios are pretty easy, while others are more challenging. The more complicated ones may offer more than one possible solution --we've had a couple of solutions that are different than the designer's "plan". I agree with previous reviews that kids can learn a little about physics, too. We discuss possible solutions together and try them out, and so the process is the real value in the game.

Great for all ages by Monoxylon (Los Angeles) 4 Stars
June 04, 2009
This game works just fine on Vista and OSX.5
It is fun and engaging.
I've played this with kids as young as 6 and up, and they are mesmerized.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the instructions it comes with are horrible, and it took me a while to figure out how to access already-solved puzzles/experiments. The game design itself could have been improved upon with a better interface and by the addition of named accounts.

Purchased for my grandchildren. Had to try it myself first and found it to be a real brain cell builder. The children (ages 8-10) loved it and quickly became addicted to it. So glad I bought it!
