My son is only three and a half, so my husband bought the game with the intention of saving it until our son was older. I got it out for him, and even though it is rated for ages 6-10, it is one of our son's favorites. Given that he can't read, I had to help him at first, but once I showed him where to click to get the riddles read to him, he could play independently (for hours on end). I keep two different user files -- one of a completed game so that he can make all seven ghosts (which requires completing the game); and one uncompleted, so when he completes puzzles the skeleton gives him new puzzle pieces. Other reviewers said that the game was not interesting once played through, but we have not found that to be the case. Our son was _more_ interested in the repetition once he'd got the hang of it. Also, of all the games we have, this is the most pleasant and interesting for the adult helping the child.

My daughter, 6, loves this game. The graphics are fun and entertaining. She loves receiving the certificate at the end. My only complaint is that you once you play this game, no new clues are found. It would be nice to play again with another set of clues.

Two kids at heart played the whole way thru this game and loved it....it was a bit easy for us, but the effects were amusing and impressive. After we tape the box up and give it to our niece, we are going to order one to have here at the house for any big kids who come to visit.

This is one fantastic CD...that I would not call a game, at least in the typical sense. I "worked" with my 6-year-old daughter, through the various rooms, and we were constantly challenged by the clues and really had to think to successfully think through the riddles. We spent a couple of hours as she would say "working as a team." Great product...stretch the thinking process...definitely a "recommend" for friends.

We purchased this software for our daughters, ages 5 and 9, after enjoying the books. While the content is great, we were extremely disappointed that once you finish the game and exit the mansion that's it. The label on the package states " multi-leveled games encourage replayability". We assumed that meant when you completed the game you could begin again with new clues. WRONG! For thirty dollars I expect my child to be able to use the software again.
