5.0 out of 5 stars Great new game! For under 10 too! November 15, 2010

We just got this game and played it tonight with our boys (7 & 5). The game says 10+ but they absolutely loved it! Even 50/50 guessing for harder to understand questions let our 5 yr old get some right when us parents didn't. There were laugh out loud moments as they contemplated the scenarios on the question cards and when 'Buster' gets catapulted. While they've seen a few MythBusters episodes, they haven't seen a ton. You really don't need to know the show or episodes to answer the questions. The simple and fun game play and educational nature of the information make it a winner. Really a great game and one we'll keep playing. Highly, Highly Recommend.

If you like the show mythbusters, this is a great game- you learn a bunch of stuff, so it is pretty educational as well. We played this game as a family and my son who is 5 loved it. The questions are interesting and totally "guessable" so it could be for all sorts of ages. We enjoyed it a lot.

The whole family LOVES to play this game. The kids love catapulting the test dummy at the targets. I love that they are learning while having fun. The goal is to have the dummy "Buster" land on your target. You get to place a target or launch him if you answer a question correctly. The questions are a lot of fun!educ
