I bought this for my 5 1/2 year old and she and her 4 year old sister play with it all the time. My younger daughter is also having trouble with the maze but she still loves everything else. This also has educational and problem solving games. Overall, if your little girl loves Barbie or princesses she will be fascinated by this game. I'm pretty impressed with the quality of it, too. Definitely worth the money!!

First off, I have to say that I am really surprised about the negative reviews and believe their technical problems are due to their hardware/operating system limitations.

That said, I must say this is the most comprehensive, beautiful, creative, fun game my daughter has. She plays if for hours!

My 3 year old daughter & I both love this software. We actually fight over who is going paint the pictures or choose the themes for each room. This game allows you to be creative & use your imagination by "decorating" each room of the castle and finding the missing gems to the prince's crown which gives Rapunzel the power to find Prince Stephan who has been turned to stone & bring him back to life. The music & animation is the best I have seen. Most of the kids software that I've seen is boring to me as an adult, but this is not at all. I sometimes like to play it without her! There are so many variations on color schemes & patterns & that you can never be bored. I highly recommend this for girls of all ages.

When my daughter wanted this I was against it. We have Barbie Swan Lake software and it does very little and I was not impressed. After seeing it many times on her "wish list" I warned her that it would most likely be boring. Boy was I wrong! We have spent many rainy day hours decorating rooms and having such fun. You can do so much and make it so different each time. We decide on colors and themes of rooms and go to town. I gave her a big hug and kiss for being so persistant about getting this software. I highly recommend it!

My girls, 5 and 6, love this game. They have had it for about a year, and continue to play it at least once a week. Its not particulary educational, but not everything has to be. The maze at the end is difficult for my younger one, but my 6 year old will step in and help her with it. Overall, I highly recommend this software.

I would definitely recommend buying this CD. My 5 year old loved it. It is visually breathtaking and will engage young ones for hours. The only drawback is that you only get to redecorate the castle. There is no variation to the tasks so that once you've completed the castle, if you want to play again, you do exactly what you had done before but there is a great deal of variety and combinations for decorating the castle. It is like a very sophisticated coloring book.

My 5-year-old daughter LOVED this game. It developed her creativity and held her attention long enough to finish it in one sitting. She still loves the theme song, which she memorized immediately. My two complaints: 1) Once you have completed the entire game, you must sign in under a different name in order to play again. 2) The game has no variations or higher levels to challenge the player as her skill improves. My daughter finished the game on her first attempt in about 45 minutes, but as she played more and became familiar with where all the items were, it took less and less time to finish a game. She's starting to become bored with it.

One last thing (and I guess you can count this as complaint #3): will game developers EVER come up with something for girls that challenges their critical skills and doesn't involve dressup or makeovers?

This game is pretty exciting and it is very nice and it is really creative and one of a kind. The only bad thing is that there is only one "castle" for the kids to "decorate" and once you are done with the whole castle that is basically it. You either have to create a new username for yourself to do it all over again or you get another game like I did. My sister finished the "castle" in about 2 hours and after that has never even looked at this game anymore. It is a nice game and it is fun but it is not really worth that much money.

I bought this software for my 5-year old daughter for Christmas. She and her twin sister, along with their 4-year old sister, LOVE this game!!! They love everything about it, from the theme song at the beginning, to finding Prince Stefan in the maze at the end. I will admit, it's not super educational, but it does keep them entertained and it's nice to have a "fun" game once in awhile that doesn't require them to think too hard! It's also nice because they can leave the game midway, and return back to where they left off by clicking on their name. The names can also be deleted so that they can start a fresh game. They can restore the castle over and over again and have it be different every time. I think it was totally worth the money.

Hi,I'm 'BARBIE LOVER' and I really like this game,even though I'm a bit out of the age range. :) I like going around and decorating every room in the castle differently each time I play!(like the whole castle decorated with peacocks or swans or butterflies,or one room has horses and another masqarade masks,exc.)The thing which really nags me is that every time you have 12 names on your list you have to erase one to play again.I usually just erase the whole list so I won't have to do this that often. I also like the intro to the game,and the muscic in each room before you restore it. I even reconized a bit of music from the movie! If you love Fantasy,dragons,and rapunzel you should get the movie-and this very fun game!(The movie is very nice,even though it is 4 years old!)And another thing-Barbie's mask is not a mask-it is just a feather in the air-have you seen it?
