cagriggs86Yes My son enjoys this game. It has a great theme for kids and is a lot of fun to work together to try to find the ghost. That said, my six-year old is not ready to play as the ghost yet, which he wants to do, and the game can drag on a bit and we have to work to keep his interest. Still, we have enjoyed the game and I expect that enjoyment to go up as my son gets older and my younger sons reach the age where they can join in as well.
tiggle78Some My 8 year old daughter likes this game, but has a hard time managing all the cards. She's won a couple of times as the ghost, but usually gets herself cornered and frustrated. She also has a tendency towards self-damaging table-talk. This is not a good game for overly chatty types and it does take some concentration at points. It's something we only need to play occasionally.
peacmyer63Yes Some will like it, others not. Two adults plus patient 6+ kids probably works best.
wkusau610Some I think it is pretty hard for kids under 10 to play well and enjoy the games.
Randy Cox4  Knowing what a great game Scotland Yard is for older children, I tried this one out with a slightly younger kid (10ish), expecting great things. But it somehow just is not much fun.
