The Unbeliever76Yes All of my kids like to play this.
wyldeoad74Some My four year-old likes this mostly as a toy. He likes putting in the pieces, then setting the timer to see it pop. My older child hated this when she was young (4-6), the timer and the popping pieces were too much for her.
jim.brooks106  For younger kids I think this is great (before they memorize where the pieces go). My 4yr old loves it when the pieces pop-out. Not something he requests to play often, but he has fun when we do play it.

merkle6  I will go against the grain a bit. Yes--the novelty does wear off (but so do most toys)--but this has been durable--I still have mine from when it first came out and I was a kid. Still works, too. Yes--once mastered, its over.
shumyum5  I was obsessed with this as a kid. Too frustrating for my young twins (5 yo), however.
Aranza4  I agree with the other comments: great fun at first, but once oyu master the puzzle, its done. the board breaks easily and the small pieces are easy to lose. Borrow or buy used, then recycle.
helenoftroy4  I got rid of this game because my three year old son would get overly frustrated with the pieces and the pop would scare him.
m_hamburg4  I am rating this one from my own experience as a kid- it was great fun at first, but quickly wore thin once I memorized the locations of all of the pieces. My brother and I played the game a lot for a few weeks, then it gathered dust for years. If you find a used complete copy, then it is worth it, but I would not pay full price for a game with limited staying power.
maksum4  I agree with other posters. The initial novelty is a lot of fun, and the idea is wonderful. The execution of the game design does not allow for change though. It is the same puzzle every time, and once it is mastered, there is not much fun to be had.
mcross46Some Can be very frustrating, but usually fun.
Yollege37Some Not good, not bad, but since it is pretty much a solitaire game, I can not rate it any higher.
Shade_Jon2  Has very little replay ability and usually breaks quickly. And it is fairly annoying as a game.
