My wife is totally against our 8 and 5 year boys playing any video games. And I agree. Most of the video games are not kid friendly with their violent content and fast moving gaphics. But this is one game that she had made exception. The reason is almost still and serene graphics which is so soothing to eyes and calm music. My both boys absolutely love it including their parents. The puzzles might be too hard for kinds as young as my boys but they do not mind to look at hints and try the walkthrough.
