I very much enjoyed playing this game with my 4-year-old son. The fact that all of the small pieces remain inside the game box is quite helpful. My son was very excited to find the different items, but when he or I had no luck, the "wave" came in handy to shake things up a bit (literally). I think that the theme of looking for treasures works perfectly with the spirit of Curious George, and that kids understand immediately that the game is one that George, himself, would enjoy.

My only criticism is that my own son found it difficult not to remove all of the covers to the windows, so it was a struggle to keep the game moving. Could just be my kid, but, once his curiosity was peeked, it was difficult to reign it in. I'm not sure how the creators of the game could alter this detail; maybe by hinging the covers so that, if kids insist on peeking, the pieces don't get lost?

Just as you start to remember where the treasures are, SPLASH, comes the wave and changes everything around! The thing I enjoyed best was watching my 5 year old daughter help my 3 year old son to find things--they played together, rather than against each other. Very cool.

My Mother-in-law bought my 4 year old this game for his birthday. Seeing how he loves Curious George he loves this game too. Recently my 2.5 year old can't get enough of it! We must play it 5 times in a row. we've modified the rules for their attention spans by removing all the "windows" and just showing the item card. whoever spots the item first gets the card, winner has the most cards. It is helping develop their visual discimination, colors and verbal skills. Also my boys are learning good sportsmanship when they don't spot it first. Awesome game. The cards are getting bent, the box corners have been taped and I had to re-glue gun the cover of cardboard. But the "sand"(which is blue and makes it challenging to spot the blue items) is very well contained and hasn't leaked at all in a year. Even the plastic covering is still holding up even when my toddler stands on it!
