I ordered this game so I could play it, via webcam, with my 9 year old niece (she had this game already). It’s a basic board game, but the questions are quite challenging, most of the time. There are separate questions for kids and adults…the kids ask the adult q’s and vice versa. I have to admit, though some are easy, I’ve been stumped quite a few times! And believe me, I usually KILL at Trivial Pursuit, and the like. The kid questions are challenging too, but not so much that the kids would get a complex about it. Although, we have modified the game a bit with “hints”. Totally worth the purchase…fun with the extra added benefit of being educational. Given the state of public schools right now, every little bit helps!

Our family played this game between myself, my spouse and our nine year old son. The questions were great, educational, and we all had SO much fun playing! It was a very competitive game, and we felt the educational gain was very rewarding. I would recommend this game for fun family game nights!

My wife and I played this game with our two boys. It’s a trivia game which is matched for the kids and the adults perfectly… Actually a little more in favor of the kids! It was a close game both times we have played it so far, and since my wife and I were actually trying as hard as we could, it made it that much more enjoyable for the kids to beat us.
We had a blast playing this game!

Unless you have watched all of the Harry Potter movies and Lord of the Rings movies, this game is not much fun for parents! It seems that half of the questions toward parents have to deal with these movies. It would be nice if the questions were a little more educational, and not so much movie and video game related. I guess that it is supposed to be fun for kids in that they get to ask questions to their parents that they already know the answers to, but I think kids could also learn from having to ask the parents more educational questions. Sadly, it seems we live in a world where our children are consumed with television and video games!

Pros: Great educational value. We all learn things as we play, and discuss what we’ve learned—this keeps it lively. Of course the kids really enjoy teaming up against the parents, so the concept is a big hit with them.
Cons: The rules are very vague (a common theme with Imagination board games). We ended up making some of our own rules based on how we “thought” it should be played after reading the instructions over and over. Additionally, thus far there seems to be quite a few Harry Potter questions for the kids to ask the parents. In our last game, three questions alone dealt with Harry Potter (which I personally have no interest in). SpongeBob questions I can answer. Harry Potter questions—not so much.
We have yet to go through all the cards, and assume when we do it will be even more fun to see how well the kids (and parents) remember the answers.
All in all I would certainly recommend this game. As others mentioned, the concept is great—but it is in need of some fine-tuning to make the game play more fluid. If Imagination comes out with a second edition, I would purchase it.
