I ordered Cariboo for two sets of grandchildren. Both found the game highly entertaining and stimulating. The mother's loved it too. My order through Amazon arrived in Houston in good time even amidst hurricane Ike.

Our 2.5 year old loves this game! Educational and fun. Can be modified to make it easier for younger kids or a bit more challenging for preschoolers.

I bought this for my daughter who is nearly three and she loves it. It is alot of fun and very educational. She is loves to use the key to open the 'doors' and to put the balls in the slot to try to open the treasure chest. One of the good points is that you can finish the game in about 10 - 15 minutes - which is a big plus. I would highly recommend it.

This is a great game simply because it is quick and easy. We play it over and over and over at my daughters request....and I don't mind. I can only take a limited time of Candyland and the such. She will even play by herself for a good length of time. Yes, you can see the balls, but you need to get the card to open the door. Yes, it has colors, numbers and letters - good reinforcement but it isn't a "educational toy." The cool thing is that you get to stick a key in a hole and it opens. Simple fun! And when you get all the balls the treasure opens! It's like magic to a 3 year old! Mine is enthralled. The only bad thing is that the balls do not travel into spaces as well as it seems like they could...I do shake the box around to ensure they fall under separate doors.

I bought this game after playing one of the other cranium games. My two boys have loved it!! It is a very simple format which is great for beginner learners and it has some hands on as well. It teaches colors, counting to four, shapes, recognizing groups of 1,2,3,4 and letter recognization, only the first 3 though, A,B,C.
I have yet to convince my kids though that it is about group effort and working together as a team.
