This game is rated for 3+, but my 2-year-old loves it as much as my 4-year-old. The key and the balls are the highlights, and it's fun to get the treasure to pop up at the end. While they are having fun, they are also practicing colors, shapes, numbers, and a few letters. Cute game.
It doesn't take a long time to play and keeps little ones interested and learning (colors, shapes, numbers, letters) all at the same time. I can't say enough good things about this game. A great buy I would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a great toddler game. My 3-year old son got it for Christmas, and still is as excited to play it as he was when he first got it. It is very easy to assemble, the instructions are very easy to understand, and kids and adults alike have a great time playing. It even comes with additional advanced cards to change out as your child gets older. Great game.
At the start I found this game to be dumb, but it has since grown on me. My wife "modded" the rules to close the door after opening it. We love to play it with my daughter (She loves it).Very educational for the little monkeys.The biggest weakness of the game is that when you open a door, you can see under the adjacent doors. My daughter loves to cheat by looking under. (Thus all doors are closed at all times). This has made the game more challenging because of the need to remember previously opened doors.
Instead there is a big pink gem in the treasure chest that is not removable, so opening the treasure chest at the end of the game is not very exciting after the first time you play. It is very quick to play, it only takes a few minutes and I wish it lasted a little longer so we didn't just play it over and over again.
My son loves playing it, loves opening the doors with the keys and asks to play it again and again. This is a neat game, got if for my son's 4th birthday based on other customer reviews and was not disappointed.
I have a few complaints about the game, but they are minor. My two year old who does not really understand the concept of the game also loves the use the key to open the doors and find the colored balls.
I would definitely recommend it as a fun toy for preschoolers. We haven't had it long and the plastic doors are already getting a little stuck/broken and the cards fall out easily so I worry a bit about its durability, and lastly I wish there was a way to put different "treasures" in the chest to keep it interesting and surprising for the kids.
Overall though its fun and creative and gets my kids thinking about numbers, colors, and letters - a good toy.
This is a perfect gift for children 2+. Last month we Cariboo as a gift and the little boy who turned 2 has not put it away for weeks. My 2 1/2 year old daughter has not lost interest since we received it 3 months ago. My 5 year old enjoys playing it with her sister and likes the advance play with both upper and lower case letters and larger quantities. His mother is amazed how he is learning his colors and shapes. What a great game.
