This game is great. It's fun, it's challenging, it develops problem-solving skills, and best of all, it rewards helping others. The one bad thing is that it requires reading. So if your child doesn't read yet (like my 5-year old), someone older who can read needs to play with him or her.
Voodoo dolls and seances? How is that child appropriate?
Not age-appropriate at all. There is an island on the game (Spookane) where the player is expected to find voodoo dolls and then has to hold a seance in order to progress. I can't believe no other parent has noted this in the reviews and that this site thinks it's acceptable content for a child of any age.
