I love this series of trivia questions. As a teacher, though we try to have something constructive to do every moment of the day, sometimes (after a quiz or test that took a shorter amount of time than allowed for in the plan) there are a few moments to "fill" with something educational.

And of course, not every moment of every day has to be "book learnin'." Yet, it's nice if it still can be educational!

Word to the wise -- consider your audience. In my case I have 7th graders who are "challenged" in their daily studies. Some of the question in this version are MUCH too hard for them and will discourage them from thinking that this game is fun for us to play together.

Therefore, it migthht be a good idea to get the 6th grade version (or even 5th) so that the questions are easier and there are more successes when trying to answer (instead of blank stares).

My brother and I wore out several sets of these growing up, and I got two for my niece and nephew and they're heavily using them as well. They're a perfect thing to keep around for summers so kids brains don't shut down, and perfect for road trips. My bro and I spent 2 days in a car and barely noticed with these. They are much preferred to trivial pursuit, and I'm finding it very interesting for my niece to go through her previous years and see how much information she learned in school vs brain quest. She knows a surprising amount, but these help flesh out and strengthen things she missed. My nephew is going into her previous grade and I hope it'll ease his transition.

I love this product. I teach 7th graders and use it when I have an extra minute or two at the end of class.

This and the rest of the series of similar products have been a great way for our clients to pass the time in our waiting room and interact in fun ways. Kids get to find out that their parents know more than what they thought. Kids get to show off what they learned.

I have never heard of Brain Quest, but decided to buy as stocking stuffers, thanks to Amazon's suggestion and other user reviews. They are a real hit with the kids, who have a blast asking each other knowledge questions to test their skills!

My kids read this in car and during weekends, and learn so much. I have a collection of Brain Quest.
