Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We got this game for our 8 year old son for Christmas. He loves the 39 clues books. He is also a very smart, gifted student. We thought this game would be more like the 39 Clues books, but it is not at all.
This game is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone without a PHD in geography to play. The game consists of clue cards and the player has to guess the city based on the clue. It would be one thing if the cities were ones known to 8 year old children, such as New York, Los Angeles, Paris, etc. But this game has them guessing cities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Nom Pen, Jakarta, Angkor, Accra, Libson, etc. The game is poorly put together (the "Keys" you earn are actually boats) and the colors of the "keys" are different than what is stated in the directions. The game takes forever to play, and has no discernable end. After an hour and a half of my 8 year old and 11 year old playing the game with me and me having to give them every answer (often I had to look up the answers myself) we quit playing. The game is NOT fun to play at all, and feels more like an geography exam. We are going to purchase a more appropriate game for him tomorrow as a replacement. I would not recommend this game at all. Total waste of money.
