I bought this game on sale and it was still to expensive. I took this game on a Boy Scout trip and soon found out that I should have given it to a pre-school class. Fun Facts were way to Basic (ie. male deer have antlers). Boy Scouts and Scout Masters were not impressed with this game.

I see that one reviewer had no use for this game - too simple, s/he and the kids said. Well, there's something to that, but c'mon! My granddaughters and I thought the same, so we simply changed the game to suit our own tastes. And we had loads of fun doing it.

Every year when we get to camp together for a week, this game accompanies us.

This game is fun for a family with young children as the ability to play at different levels (1-4) makes it more interesting for all. My 4 y/o is able to answer some of the level 4 questions correctly so they are not impossible to answer. Much like other Q & A card games, I imagine the game could be boring if you memorize all of the answers. This would be an issue with all games of this type. Not really sure why anyone would have so much venom against this game, however, as my family has enjoyed it. Opening presents must be a blast in some of those households. We like it enough that we are buying it as a gift for a daycare classmate present. This classmate's family own a farm so I think people that know something about the outdoors would enjoy it too.

This is a game that the whole family can play. It is nice to be able to play a game with my family which is 15 year old & 9 year old and everyone is engaged.

As my 9 year-old son said, the only people who could possibly find this game interesting are folks who live in a city and NEVER get outdoors. As my 12 year-old daughter then pointed out, even they could get most of the answers easily enough if they spend any time watching the Discovery Channel.

The board itself is not interesting at all, the questions are way too simple and they are repetitive to boot.

In addition, you need to use a device (included) that slides over the question and answer card to reveal the answers. To do this, you have a small window of red plastic that is supposed to make the answer "pop out" of the background. Well, I am mildly color blind and I couldn't see a thing.

So, not only were my kids bored to tears, but they had to confirm every answer for me.

It was a waste of time and I promptly returned it for a refund.

It was a fun game, but it didn't last a long time and so far we've discovered that level 1 was way too easy for my 8-year-old and level 3 was too easy for my husband and me.

The multi-levels make it a perfect game for my 6, 9 and 15 year old. Top notch design and great value.
