We bought this as a gift for our 3rd and 4th grade boys who really enjoy history. They have never seen the show since it airs in our area earlier than they get off the bus. They needed no frame of reference since all the main characters are from the Revolution or from a specific event. They enjoyed meeting all the players and asking them who, what, where, why, and how. After determining the best information they wrote a newspaper article based on the event and then printed it. The better the newspaper the better the circulation of the paper. My husband and I were very surprised that they have played it as long as they have or as much. These two really like Spyro and Kingdom Hearts, so this was a great deal. As a social studies teacher I would recommend this for any 4th grade classroom or early 5th if you are in NYS. It was really worth the $10.00

Our 7 year-old son is a huge fan of the show, so we thought we'd try out the video game. It's relatively low tech and not entirely inituitive, but once he figured it out it kept him entertained for hours. He printed out enough copies of his "newspapers" to wallpaper his room. Although he has enjoyed it, I think he might be a little young for it. The interviewing and editorial skills might be better suited for the 8-10 year old set.

I bought this for my 7 year-old who thirsts for things like this. She and her neighbor friend got together once a week during the summer and played this together and loved it. My only complaint was that sometimes it took a bit of time to figure out how to navigate to another scene or to get back to one you were already at.
