Educational yes, but hard like trivial pursuit. One of the questions asked about George Orwell's book 1984, honestly what 8 year old (or ten year old for that matter) knows about that book? She guessed on most of the questions. Also my daughter has gotten frustrated and passed the remote on to me several times in working on a very difficult puzzle (I tried unsucessfully). If it is geared towards preteens, it should reflect their knowledge or teach them not quiz them on obscure facts.
my niece was in tears after beating the game. it promised a "camping adventure" when she collected all the requirements. instead it told her she beat the game reduced her in game cash total from over $4k to $0. did not give the "adventure" and allowed her to keep playing.
Not really what I expect from, "The DARING Game for Girls". Though it can sometimes be fun... maybe I just get bored too easily
But in after about 10 minutes I would usually quit and do other things instead.
