My oldest son, age 10, along with his best friend, 10, started playing this game. Within minutes, they were in hysterics, doing the things the game told them to do and learning all the way. My 8 year old son joined in and he too had a blast. The questions challenged them to think about things differently, to try out new things, and of course, to use science as part of their everyday life. The directions were easy to understand, the board itself a visual delight, the goop an added bonus (as far as they were concerned) and the resulting laughter was worth every penny spent on this game. I recommend it highly--so does my son who wants to purchase it as a birthday present for his other friends!

Real life bodily functions (almost all of them) and other gross stuff are brought to light in an educational game. Compete with friends, "gross" them out, complete a science experiment and win the game! Though you may not agree that the subject matters are acceptable in polite society, this game is a blast to play. 5 stars for a fun time, educational about snot, vomit, toe jam, ear crud and stuff like that and 5 stars for durability !!

My then 8-year-old daughter received Totally Gross from her "gross" uncle (he tries to outdo himself each year). This was a VERY successful gift. We've enjoyed playing it with her, as has her grandfather, and her uncle. And we learned science facts in the process! The experiments to win are fun, and even the "slime" to mark your place is a hit. She's 10 now, and she still loves to play Totally Gross!

Although some of the questions/answers in this game are not educational, overall, I found this item to be great fun for the whole family. The questions have a range of difficulty, so when we play it with our 7 year old, he can answer some, and we adults don't get bored because we find others interesting. Some items are inappropriate, but we just omit those and ask another question or do another task that appears on the same card.
I would recommend this game to all parents who frequently play with their children, and are looking for something unique and fun for them, as well as the children.

I bought this game for my two girls..ages 8 and 6. They absolutely love it...lots of good gross stuff and lots of educational items even the adults thought were great. My husband and I even thought that this game would be great with our adult friends :)

My son received this game for his sixth birthday, and loved it. It's very much on a kid's level, although adults can learn a lot, too (who knew you couldn't hum while pinching your nose? OK, I've never been adventurous, but it demonstrates a biological point in a way that kids will understand and remember). The slime isn't really gross, and the grossouts aren't disgusting. It's all good fun, and your kids, and you, will learn a lot. It's excellent.
Addendum: I should add something I have discovered about the slime--don't let it get on your carpet, as it is very hard to remove. The game is still great, but be careful with the slime. Not gross, but the potential for messiness is there.

My two boys (ages 9 and 7) cannot stop giggling when playing this game. They love the gross questions, the silly "dares," and the neat experiments. Meanwhile, they are learning interesting facts the whole time with brief explanations to boot. I enjoy playing with them as well! Defineitely a good game. We received as present, and I plan to give as a gift as well!

What a fun game! I bought this for my 6 1/2 year old and we are having a blast with it. It is very educational and the slime makes it reallly fun. The slime is very easy to use and not messy. We just put it right back in its container when we are done. My son can't read all of the words on the cards to me when we play so he just spells to me what he can't read that so that can ask me the questions.

I have purchased over 4 as gifts during the holidays and birthday present. It's a fun way to have children involved or take interest in Science. I would and have recommended this as a gift to others. It will be on my holiday list once again this year

While I was reluctant to purchase a game glorifying grossness--I'm glad I did. Not only is the game very high-quality and well made, the facts that children (and adults) are learning along the way are a fantastic science primer. Off the top of my head, I can think of one such fact--that cows and sheep burp methane gas which is harmful to the environment. I highly recommend this game--my children are 11 and 8, the questions are such that there is an advanced, medium and beginner level on each card. That way, you can have various ages playing together with each being challenged but not discouraged.
