This game is an interactive game for the whole family, but can easily be played independently by older children as well. We got this for Christmas and it was an immediate hit. It is unique in that is caters to several different strengths of individuals (drawing, trivia, charades) so that it pleases a wide variety of kids. This could be a great party game if played in teams. The physical components of the game are fabulous -"magic glasses" for reading the answers, modeling clay, pencils, paper, fun tic-tac-toe markers- It's like opening a treasure chest! A+
