My girls are 3 and 5 and had a hard time with this game.
There are several areas that require skills above them.
They did enjoy the other parts of the game, but once they finished they didn't really want to play again.

This program has lots of potential however it is lacking in several areas. The first is that there are clitches and if an area is clicked on erroneously then the program freezes. I had to shut down the computer each time and reboot. Also the instructions and some of the games are too complicated for my soon to be 5 year old. Others were really fun for her. The most frustrating however is that I never did figure out what I had to do in Belle's Writing Room to complete this section in preparation for the Surprise Ball (and I have a medical degree). If anyone knows please email me so we can at least see the dress we picked out and the music and dance we created.

My wife got this for our daughter; first, there are places in the game where you (our daughter) have very little room for error in clicking; there is a game in which you click on a tiny triangle to turn a page in a book, or click on the book page to be given a clue. You have 6 clues; missing that little triangle is EASY for a little one, and even if you've received a clue for a page you've already clicked on, it takes away another one of your guesses. POOR PROGRAMMING.

A major glitch in sound occurs; often, when the characters are speaking, there is an echo - a strong one - which is very distracting, and makes the already hard-to-understand and long-winded instructions unbearable. Often it's critical that you understand what needs to be done...

Last - and this is what prompted me to jump on here and give this program a big thumbs-down - is that printing doesn't work for us. We have no problem printing from any other application, or the internet... this program can't do it for us.

Stay away. There's a reason it's $5, and it's not because the distributor is in a generous mood.
