Makes Learning Fun, and Only Slightly Gross - Review written on March 05, 2006

My son received this game for his sixth birthday, and loved it. It's very much on a kid's level, although adults can learn a lot, too (who knew you couldn't hum while pinching your nose? OK, I've never been adventurous, but it demonstrates a biological point in a way that kids will understand and remember). The slime isn't really gross, and the grossouts aren't disgusting. It's all good fun, and your kids, and you, will learn a lot. It's excellent.
Addendum: I should add something I have discovered about the slime--don't let it get on your carpet, as it is very hard to remove. The game is still great, but be careful with the slime. Not gross, but the potential for messiness is there.

Although some of the questions/answers in this game are not educational, overall, I found this item to be great fun for the whole family. The questions have a range of difficulty, so when we play it with our 7 year old, he can answer some, and we adults don't get bored because we find others interesting. Some items are inappropriate, but we just omit those and ask another question or do another task that appears on the same card.
I would recommend this game to all parents who frequently play with their children, and are looking for something unique and fun for them, as well as the children.

My oldest son, age 10, along with his best friend, 10, started playing this game. Within minutes, they were in hysterics, doing the things the game told them to do and learning all the way. My 8 year old son joined in and he too had a blast. The questions challenged them to think about things differently, to try out new things, and of course, to use science as part of their everyday life. The directions were easy to understand, the board itself a visual delight, the goop an added bonus (as far as they were concerned) and the resulting laughter was worth every penny spent on this game. I recommend it highly--so does my son who wants to purchase it as a birthday present for his other friends!
