I was disappointed that more than half of the hidden items in the kids' version are the 26 letters of the alphabet. For me, it is more fun to look for the little items than every single letter. I would recommend the regular Find It! (instead of the kids' version) instead.

It's neat, it's contained, it's fun for all ages. Throw it in the car, leave it at the cabin, set it on your coffee table. Take it to the doctor's office or the DMV for use while waiting in line. Start conversations, make friends. All thanks to the Find It Game.

I don't usually write a review, but I've got to say this toy is great. Even for adults. If your child likes a challenge and has curiosity, this game will do it for them. And I think it'd make a great coffee table conversation starter at an adult party!

(Until he found the penny) Oh yeah- and my 4-year-old loves it, too! It's very addictive, but I must say that once we found the penny (and everything else), it hasn't been played with much since! Nice gift- and great conversation starter...like someone suggested leaving it on the coffee table for adult get-togethers!

MY BOYS AGES 11, 7, 3 ALL PLAYED THIS IN THE CAR ON CHRISTMAS DAY ON THE WAY TO VISIT GRANDPARENTS IN NORTH CAROLINA. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE ENJOYED THE FUN OF SEARCHING AND FINDING OBJECTS. MY LITTLEST HAS POINTED OUT NOT ONLY OBJECTS, BUT COLORS AND COUNTED THINGS IN THE CYLINDER. IT HAS REALLY BEEN FUN AND HASN'T BROKEN YET WHICH IS SAYING A LOT FOR MY FAMILY. THIS TOY MAY GET TOSSED ASIDE, BUT SOMEONE WILL BE WAITING IN THE WINGS FOR THIER TURN. LOTS OF FUN, DON'T MISS OUT!

This is a well-built cylinder with objects to find hidden among plastic sprinkles. There's a pad of score sheets to mark off the items as you find them, and they are also printed on one end of the cylinder. This held my older children (9 & 7) and my parents (late 50s and early 60s) enthralled for almost an hour as they tried to find each item.

This one isn't as good as the other ones though with half of the items being alphabet blocks. They just aren't as fun to find as a variety of zoo animals or other objects. Also, the American flag was only printed on one side, so you have a 50% chance of seeing the metal underside and having little idea what it is.

The game is going to get boring eventually, so it's best when only pulled out intermittently. This makes it a good travel game, especially for those who like search and find games. But, other versions have a more interesting assortment of objects.

At 4 and 6, my kids are below the recommended age for this toy. However, they both have a good time shaking and twisting it trying to find all the objects. It's a great item to throw in the car or luggage for a trip since it is self contained.

Like other reviewers, I would rather see a broader variety of objects instead of the 26 letters of the alphabet. Even my 4 y.o. knows his alphabet cold - I'm not sure what educational value the letters would have for kids in the recommended age range of 8 - 13.

This is a wonderful idea. It is a self-contained,quiet,mind numbing game for all ages. This is the toy to have with you at any public place to entertain little ones. If you happen to be in a pediatric waiting room and have just witnessed someone vomit all over the only toy (activity table) and most of the books. You will wish this game was with you. It came in very handy when my sick kids offered to help the nurse clean up the vomit(a stranger's) in hopes I might let them play with the colored beads and curvy wire of that germ infested petrie dish.They were quite happy when they realized I was handing them their game and not a can of Lysol. I think it's great that this fun does not require batteries, ever, and a talking animal, cartoon or muppet was in no way involved with our purchase.(For once!)

I had no idea how big of a hit this toy would be with my entire family. Everyone (ages 6-50's)played with it at Christmas, throughout the entire day. Just when someone gave up, another picked it up and began their own adventure...I love that you get lots of check-off lists so each person can keep track of their finds. I finally found the elusive penny after a week or so of daily searching....but I still find the toy fun! It's definitely a conversation-starter and great for entertaining. It was a big moment when someone found something new. It's also portable and great because there are no pieces to lose, unlike other games. I love how durable and safe it is for little ones and I want to get the other versions too!

I bought two of these toys (this one and the zoo one) for a two-day car trip with my children 4 and 5 years old. I was a bit disappointed this didn't hold their attention longer, though they did enjoy it and came back to it several times, though only for short periods of time. I, however, played with it for well over an hour looking for that elusive penny, which I still haven't found! My mother also played with it for probably an hour on the trip home and enjoyed it as much as I did!

Like one other reviewer stated, I'm not sure how much it will get played once everything has been found. But we intend to just keep it for car trips, so I think the interest will stay fresh that way.
