The game of memory is a great equalizer because little children are just as apt to remember where they saw the hidden images as older children or adults. This makes it great game for the whole family to play together. The images from the "I Spy" book illustrations are bright and creative. They don't match exactly- for instance, there might be two images of cats, but borrowed from different photographs in the I Spy books. So there is a bit more visual variety to spice things up. This is a much more attractive memory game than most, and would make an ideal gift for a child or family.

This is a great family game. Young children can play this game as well as adults. My son who is four loves this game. It is a traditional game with a new look. Some of them are a little bit difficult in that the matches might have different backgrounds or be a silghtly different view of the same item. It makes you think.

We have enjoyed the books and now we enjoy the game. The pictures on the game look like they come right from the book.

I particularly like that this game will grow with my children. There are riddle cards that you can use in one type of game. And directions for other games as well.

Enjoy.

My grandchildren loved this game from the first time we
brought it out of the "game closet". Ages 6 and 9 and
Grandpa and Grandma had a wonderful time !
It's a little difficult at first, as all really good games are,
but well worth the time spent. The children were very quick
to find the various "things". It is a good mental focus style
of game and one that makes a child look and really "see".
We recommended this to another family whose children couldn't
seem to settle down and focus. They enjoyed the game as well.
Definitely worth the [...]!!

This is a fun game and easier if used as just a card matching game. It is difficult when using the clues. The picture cards are very "busy" and I had a hard time finding some items to match my clues. My 3 year old is much too young for this game. My 5 1/2 year old has a hard time trying to find all of the matches for her clues. It takes a long time to play and at her age it's not one of her favorite games. It's better for older children.

This is a decent little board game based on the I Spy books that my five-year-old has loved for months. We've played a couple of times and the game is similar to the books in that you're looking for specific small/well disguised items surrounded by many other things. Neither of my sons have asked to play it again, so it's been sitting on the shelf for a week or so, but I'm sure they'll pick it up soon and ask to play. All in all this is a good game if you're really into the I Spy thing, but it doesn't ignite any fireworks or make you want to play again and again.

Hi! My name is Martine Redman and I'm the inventor of the I Spy™ Memory Game by Briarpatch. I've given this game to a lot of kids, and it's great to hear parents report back to me that the kids play it over and over. We've won a number of awards for it, including Parents Choice Gold Seal, the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Seal, Teacher's Choice, and many more. Best of all is the fun I have playing I Spy Memory Game with kids, who give the game the ultimate compliment, "Let's play it again!" Other award-winning Briarpatch games include the Goodnight Moon Game for ages 2 1/2 to 6, and the Maisy™ Game for ages 3-6. END

This is a fun game or the entire family. No reading is required. It's great for developing memory skills and requires kids to focus and pay attention if they want to do well. Our 5-year-old son had a ball and won the first game we played together and my husband and I enjoyed it as well. We liked that the matching cards are not exactly alike. You are looking for the same main object in the picture, but the backgrounds are different, which makes the game a bit more interesting and challenging than your basic memory game.

Our daughter (who's 4) LOVES this game! We also play a little game that we made up: We look at the pictures on the card and say "I Spy..." whatever is on the card. There's quite a few things you can do with this game. We even have the computer game "I Spy Treasure Hunt" that she started playing when she was 3---what a hoot!

I'd recommend the board game! YEAH!

This game is effective in developing memory skills visually and picking out small details. The variety of methods/ways to play make it fun and versatile. A keeper. My children had many fun hours playing this game which was introduced to me by a teacher.

gave the game as a family do-together game to go with an I Spy quilt I made for 4 yr old in the family. have heard family enjoys the game.
