Stare Junior — The Award-Winning Game of Visual Recall, Where Fun Image Cards Challenge Kids’ Minds — Great for the Whole Family, Ages 6 & Up

Really fun yet challanging game. I played with my 10 year old and 7 year old granddaughters. They loved it. Good memory tool and also helped with reading skills for the 7 year old. Doesn't take too long to play so no one gets bored. As an adult it was even not that easy for me. Good memory game.

Our family enjoys this game, we even include our 3 year old. When our 3 year old has her turn she gets a card picked with no reading required. Then we ask her the question on the card or we make up a question that is age appropriate and she does amazingly well. For example just ask you child what color a character was wearing or hat was. This works well for us as we can be challenged and it keeps our minds sharp and the little one can play too. We all have fun. Its pretty funny to play as a adult and you get some cards that you wonder if you will remember anything, it will get you laughing at yourself! My only cons are this. Cards are a bit small I feel like I need glasses to play. Cards do bend easy so durability isn't that high. I wish the playing pieces were weighted a bit more so the didn't get knocked off the board so easily. But I wouldn't let that stop me from buying this again.

You basically sit and stare at a picture and then answer questions about the picture you were staring at. It obviously will enhance memory and teach skills like looking for details. My 7 year old LOVES the game, my 4 year old has a tough time with it. My wife and I like it ok, it beats playing candy land over and over and over again and it is obviously good for everyone from an educational standpoint.

This is a cute, fun game!

Very fun game. We bought this as a gift for our neices. From what I remember, you look at a picture and try to remember as much about it as possible before the time is up (30 seconds?). Then you roll the dice and another person asks you a question on the back of the card that corresponds with the same number you rolled. If you get the question right, you can move your token that many spaces. You keep rolling and answering questions until you either get an answer wrong or you roll the same number you already rolled in that turn. Whoever reaches the end of the board first wins. The only thing in the directions we disregarded was that adults get less time. Why??? The game is already difficult enough for adults to be giving more limitations. The game comes with tons of cards so there is a lot of gameplay without duplication. I have a bad memory when it comes to standard memory games or remembering groups of words so I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but the pictures are zany enough that they were memorable and I actually did decently. One thing i didn't like is that your turn is over if you roll the same number you already rolled. I lost due to that (maybe I'm just a sore loser). I think I'll most likely buy this game for my son when he's older as well.

This game was the surprise hit this Christmas. We purchased the game for our 4 year old son, not knowing if he would like it. We often have family game night and Stare continues to be his top choice for several months now. My sons are 4 and 6 so they need help reading the questions on the back of the card, but can otherwise play on their own. It has been encouraging to see our 4 year old improve his attention to detail and recollection of details since he has started playing the game. We also like the fact that you can easily play this game in teams. Our boys can play together on one team against the parents. That helps avoid some of the competitive behavior that can emerge between them with other games. As a true testament to the interest in the game, my 4 year old select Stare! Jr as the game he wanted to give his best friend for his birthday. We ordered ours online so I ended up driving to several stores trying to find a game locally. You know it is a hit when they want to give one to a friend.

I purchased this game for my 5 year old. The idea of the game is to stare at a tiny card with tons of details. Then you are asked to remember some obscure detail about the picture. It is even hard to answer some of the questions when you are looking at the pictures. If you are looking for an educational game, look somewhere else. Your child might learn to pay more attention to details, but I can't think of any other educational value. I don't see what is so stimulating about Superman comic pictures (22 in all), and I like Norman Rockwell but 30 pictures seems over kill.

I bought this game to play with my grandchildren. We played for the first time yesterday and they have repeatedly asked to play again this morning. There were 5 children from age 14 to 4 and they all enjoyed it. Even the 14 year old was surprised by how much he enjoyed playing it with his grandmother and siblings. We helped the 4 year old by having his sister read the questions for him, otherwise all players were equal. I highly recommend this game for the whole family. It especially helps with concentration. My only negative remark is that the box says up to 10 people can play, but there were only 6 player pieces in the box. It worked out well for us, as there were 6 of us playing yesterday, but I'm sure there will be a time soon when more want to play, as it was so much fun. Thank you Game Development Group for a wonderful family game that is easy to learn and lots of fun!

I would recommend this game. It's great for stimulating conversatin.
