“This game is a very nice example of cooperation among players. It requires everyone to have a say in the outcome of the play. We play it with our 4 year old granddaughter who is learning to reason out a problem and find a solution”

“I am using this as a teaching tool for beginning English learners to encourage conversation and an opportunity to get away from texts and exercises.”

“My just-now-6-yr-old granddaughter was showing signs of excessive competitiveness so I got this game as an alternative. At first she wanted to know what she had to do to win. Once that was cleared up, she liked the game and wanted to play it several times right away. However, I find that she and I are both wanting more challenge in the frequency and variety of obstacles. I am considering using stickers and homemade Good Thing cards to "amp it up." Otherwise the game will have a short life.”

“Although I haven't seen it in action, my son reports that both he and the grandchildren (ages 7 and 4) love the game. It fosters co-operation rather than competition, as well as thinking creatively. He said it is by far their favorite, and specifically asked where I bought it so he could buy it as a present for nieces and nephews.”

“We love this game, and it has been very useful at getting our daughter to articulate WHY she would choose a tool for our adventure. How would the basket of food help us escape the bear or cross the river? She is a very creative child, so this makes every game a little different and more fun for her. We also love the collaborative part of it -- makes it a good bonding experience. I highly recommend it.”
