My kids (aged 6,7 and 11 - two boys, one girl) really love this game. They've had it for a while now and they're still at it constantly. I can see what they find so addictive. First you have the cards themselves, which are wide-ranging in terms of content, not to mention very fun to look at (they'll be staring at them long after the game is over!). The questions are well thought out and easy to understand and there's a nice balance of direct, multiple choice and true/false questions. I particularly like the fact that they get the chance to strain their brains and senses, instead of just their eyesight in front of the TV! I highly recommend this game.

If you think you'll get ill playing yet another game of Chuts and Ladders, Monopoly or Candyland, here's a pleasant change of pace - a game ADULTS and CHILDREN can enjoy. I absolutely love this game and so does my son because it is challenging for both of us. If your child has a hard time playing this game solo, it can be played in teams and the questions are just hard enough to keep kids on the ball without being too hard. It is also fast-paced and doesn't drag like so many games can. Best of all, it is good for children from 6 to 12 (and even older) so it will last for some time before the interest wears out.

I have the adult version of this game and so I already knew it was a fun game to play. The kids version appears to be just as popular (if you judge by the reaction of my three). The great thing about this game is that both young and older kids can play together (just give the younger kids a longer time to stare at the image card). The object of the game is to stare at the image and recall as much as possible before time runs out. Correctly answered questions about the image are rewarded by advancing on the gameboard. The images are great fun to look at - comic book covers, teddy bear scenes, cartoons and much more. Not only fun to play, the game tests visual recall and reading skills to boot. Best of all, it managed to keep a rather large gathering of neighborhood kids completely entertained - a great feat! I would definitly make sure this game is a permanent part of your game closet.

My daughter gave this game to a friend as a birthday present, and they ended up playing it at the birthday party. We then picked up a copy for our children and they have been playing with their friends every since. Both my 10 year-old and my 6 year-old can play together, which is a relief. The youngest is given more time to look at the pictures on the cards, and the questions are easy to read and understand. The pictures themselves are very appealing to the kids, and the gameplay is simple to follow (the kids got the hang of it right away). I have played with the kids (under the Parents version of the rules) and the balance works well. There are too few games out there like this.

Stare! Junior is one of the best kids games out there. I was pleased to see my daughter and her friends enthralled for an entire Saturday afternoon. The object is for the kids to stare at the game cards and then answer as many questions as possible listed on the game card about the image correctly. Kids really love this type of challenge. They also all get to participate because the kids must determine by re-examining the image whether the answers given are correct. The images on the game cards are delightful and the kids get a kick out of staring at them. Towards the end of the afternoon, I joined in and the girls only allotted me half the time that they have to stare at the cards. Needless to say, it became a great adult-kid challenge. Innovative and challenging fun!

My younger sister and I helped to choose the cards for Stare! Junior Edition from the adult version. I am 10 years old and my sister is seven. We looked for cards that were colourful, not too detailed and that we thought would appeal to children. We love playing Stare because it challenges you to be observant, pay attention to details and tests your memory. The vocabulary is simple enough that my sister can read most of the questions on her own. It helps young kids learn colours, numbers and where things are in the picture. Example: in front of, beside, left and right etc. My whole family enjoys playing Stare together and we hope you and your family will too!

As parents we go through buying ALL of those junkie toys that end up piled in boxes. I had to buy 2 of these because it was such a hit over the SUMMER with our company they took it back up north with them. My kids are 17,13,6 and 3. While the 17 year old prefers the regular version of STARE!,the rest of the kids play constantly! My 3 year old son teams up with someone older and we are AMAZED at how much better he does than we do! The whole idea is to stare at a picture for 30 seconds and then answer questions about the picture. i.e.: How many mice were on the table? What color was the table cloth? You get to move your piece for each right answer and it is a WONDERFUL family game!This one won't end up in a toy box anytime soon!

I bought this for our school age children mostly because I thought they would enjoy it. Needless to say - they did. Better yet, I enjoyed the fact that this game is not only fun to play but it is a skill enhancer. Firstly, the range of images on the game cards is fantastic (the images fascinate the kids!). The kids love challenging each other to recall as much as possible after staring at the game cards. The younger ones get quite a bit of practice with their reading skills which is always nice to see. Best yet, my wife and I can play this game with them and we thoroughly enjoy it. I would definitely recommend this game for school age children - they will love playing it!

This game was great. I bought it for my 8 year old grandson and
the whole family played.We all had a lot of fun.It is definitely
a game the whole family can play together and have fun!!

This was one of the best games I've ever played. I got it for Christmas a week or so ago and I've played it so many times! I'm not even bored. It's challenging and very fun. Also, parents can play!
