Both older kids tried this game & while both enjoyed it, they had differing thoughts of the game. Micah tends to like fast, racing and adventure type games while Michaela loves the exploring, puzzle, and slower-paced games that don’t “stress” her out. So, it’s no surprise that they had this to say about the I Spy Castle DS game:

ispyispy2“I liked it a lot, but it was a little too easy at times for me. Overall, I think anyone ages 7-10 that likes puzzle games would find it really fun and challenging.” – Micah age 11 ½

“It’s an awesome & really fun, mystery game!  You have to solve the mystery, hatch some eggs, find some things, go into secret places, and you get to learn about history.  It’s like the I Spy books where there’s a list of stuff to find.  My favorite part of the game is finding secret places & the mystery of it all.”
– Michaela age 9
