Played with ONCE:
My 4 year old wanted this and played with it when she first brought it home, hasn't played it since. It's too easy for her. My 3 yr old didn't have the attention span to play since the audio was kind of slow. Often times I couldn't get the shell to 'talk' in my ear.
Great game for toddlers!:
My 3 year old loves this game and I love that it is easy enough she can play it with her 3 & 4 year old friends without having to have an adult sit there and referee. We play as a family as well and it is a very fun adn educational game. Sometimes the seashell can be hard to hear, but that is my only complaint and that is not all the time, just on occasion. Also, not a ton of pieces like most memory games to get lost or messy!
Good game:
My four year old really likes this game. I initially had trouble with getting the shell to activate and make sounds but an email to Cranium quickly resolved the issue. I wasn't placing the shell in the base correctly. This is a good memory and matching game and is most age appropriate for kids five and under. My older son, who is six, will play the game and has fun but isn't really challenged.

The instructions did not provide much guidance to that, and most importantly, how to play the game. To play a good memory game with preschoolers, I recommend using an old-fashioned deck... more info
