Spooky Castle Board Game

I played with my 11yr old and 7 yr old and they both liked it. We had to change the time frame to make it more challenging, which is suggested and it makes the game perfect!

Good game and lot’s of anxiety during turns, very playable even for ages as young as 3. Quality is not the best however and there is quite a bit of yelling during play

Game is complicated and too slow for young children. Set up takes a long time

Good game

I thought that this would be a fun Halloween themed game for my kids ages 4-8. As it turns out though, 4 years old is too young. The box says 6, but my 4 year old has been able to play many games with higher restrictions than that, so I took it as a conservative suggestion. However, for this game, he just couldn't keep from looking out from under the mask, and he was not able to follow directions well. While I feel that his fine motor control is age appropriate, the difficulty of having shorter arms than everyone, not quite as much fine motor control, and maybe not the same spatial awareness with closed eyes as the others made it a frustrating experience.The other part that I didn't like, which was one of the primary selling points for me, was the cooperation in the game. All of the other players are supposed to guide the ghost "taking the exam," but in reality one voice is going to take the dominant position, and the others become spectators. My middle child would complain that my oldest was giving all of the directions, while my youngest children would struggle with trying not to use their hands to help guide the wand. The first time we played, I had to keep telling them to stop moving my hand.The game is not a complete loss, however. The kids do like wearing the mask, and they do like telling each other where to go, but my youngest lost interest in the game pretty quickly. I would say that the game has a pretty narrow age range or good with a parent/child combination.

My 7 year old son really got into this game just from the box, but not my 9 year old, even with it being so close to Halloween. My son and I got out all the parts and set up the game together. I had some trouble figuring out the rules and goals but we got in the end and started playing. My son really liked telling me where to go and how to turn while I was blindfolded and trying to find a needed token. He is still not strong on his left and right, and now he was on the opposite side of the board from me too so there was lots of laughter and yelling "stop" "no the other way" and more laughing. I found the game a bit slow and not very engaging but I did enjoy spending time with my boy and he was having a ball. My son really liked the game and I think this game could be really fun for the right audience.

This is a fun game for younger children, but I don't think it will be too popular with older children and adults. It would be a great game to pull out during the month of October for an extra activity.As with all the other Queen games I've had so far, the quality of the game is great. The pieces are very thick cardboard, and it looks nice. There is a mask that is more flimsy, but it's made to fit on the face better. It's also comes with a timer, which is far nicer than the timers that have came with other games. There's metal coins included(which you'll have to put the stickers on) and a stick with a magnet on the end.For younger children, this is a cool game. It's a nice way to teach a bit of cooperation between siblings/friends or just have some special time with a child.

I am always looking for new, creative games that aren't made by the big household name manufacturers for my kids to play with. When this arrived it was a hit with our youngest ones (2 1/3 and 3 1/2). They are a bit advanced for their age and we do have to help them play but they really do have a good time playing it.What we like about the game is that it teaches teamwork, as the goal is to help one another get tokens off the board. One player puts on a blindfold and uses a stick with a magnet on it to try to move the pieces around the board while other players give verbal cues. The goal is to collect specific pieces based on the different cards that are drawn. While this would likely bore older kids and adults playing without young children, for younger kids it proved to be a hit in our home. The game is well designed and you can tell they put quality into the production of it. There is a bit of assembly necessary (putting stickers on tokens mostly). While it's not a game my husband and I or even my teens would play with each other, the little ones really like it so it provides us with some quality bonding time together as their siblings help them achieve the goals of the game.

Este juego es sólo de 2 a 4 personas y aunque muy simple es muy divertido. Genial para reír un rato
