What is it?
It's a board game aimed at kids, and using the powers of wordsearch creates; a great learning and fun opportunity for your child.
Now, my son absolutely goes mad for wordsearches, you should see his little face when he finds a word! Well, we had to get this and I tell ya, he's not stopped playing it! Drives me crazy!
The rules are extremely easy to understand and you'll be playing in minutes.
Being the Junior version, the 1-4 players has kids in mind as adults may find some of the searches quite easy, although saying that I was still having quite a bit of trouble finding some words, my son was whipping my butt!! He's so quick!!!
It's a really great design too, the game board is made up of a turntable and changeable game cards, once set up, you turn the ring and the next word appears, you then have to shout out the word once you find it on the board and mark it with your counters. The coloured transparent counters are shaped like contact lenses and are placed in 'dips' on the game board.
What the boy thought?!
As I've already pointed out, my son simply loves wordsearches and I can't count how many puzzle books we have at home JUST for wordsearches. Getting this game for him was a must, and I don't regret it. He loved finding the words and kept saying "come on Daddy!" Amongst "you're rubbish at this game Daddy!" Yeah, thanks mate!!
Anyways, he loved it and we will be buying the original Wordsearch for the older players as he gets older!
The Verdict!
A really good game with easy rules and intuitive design.
I wasn't a massive fan of the dips in the board as at times it was hard to see the letters, although saying that we were directly under a light and playing on the floor which probably didn't help.
I was extremely impressed that the counters came nicely bagged up in press-to-seal bags, this has always annoyed me with games in the past, as the pieces would all rattle about and you'd open the game to a complete mess.
So if you're little one is great with his words (or even if they're not!) this game will help their vocab no end!!
