can a six year with average iq and help enjoy this? Or will it be too frustrating?

Hi!This is a very challenging Chima set. My 6 yo grandson is experienced with these large sets and follows the instruction book very carefully page by page. His mother often sets the pieces out for him which makes it easier and on ocassion answers his question. I would start on an easier set unless the child has a lot of experience with more complex Lego sets and figures and has a lot of patience. Our grandson did complete this set with minimal help from his mother. He loves it.

I have a six-year old Lego-obsessed son and he needed some help with assembly, but he loves this set.

I think, in some parts is so frustrating for a young child and end up bored...it's a big toy and has too many pieces and at least 3 instructives...the kid necessarily needs parents help.

The child will definitely need help from an adult. There are a lot of pieces and 3 instruction manuals. The younger kids tend to get bored after realizing it takes a while to build. I bought it for an 8 year old who helped with some of the construction, but I still ended up building most of it (this was ok since I enjoy building Lego sets). When the construction is finished, they will enjoy the set regardless of age.

It's way too big for a six year old, IMO. Something like Set#70000 through 70002 would be more appropriate if the child likes Chima!

I enjoy several of the Chima sets with my 4 yo boy. I build them and then we play together. He helps a little with the building but the real joy for him is to play storylines.

Nathan, While I don't have kids myself, I do have a 6 year old niece. With her as a reference, I have no doubt that the basic tile laying and boat moving mechanic of the game will be easy to pick up for a 6 year old. In my mind, I picture those toys that used to be in every doctor's office of my youth that had a jumble of multi-colored wires with different carved beads on them and youre task was to slide the beads up and down and zigzag and loop-de-loop to the other side of the table. That said, I think the addition of the sea monsters may be a more challenging concept to grasp. rolling dice of different colors, coordinating with icons, and potentially rearanging the tiles already laid to the board. These may take a little more advanced game-playing. I can easily see removing this part of the game and tailoring it for a while until the basics are mastered. Then working the monsters back in later on. I hope this helps. Good luck and game on! Best, Tony D.

This puzzle is a good individual project, but depending on experience and practice with puzzles, might be a little on the easy side for six-year olds.

Yes, it would - six is a bit young for this kind of thing. I would only recommend it if the six-year old has previous experience with skateboards and they had adult supervision while riding the sole skate.

no, it should be good. I had my 8 and 6 yr old do it and my 4yr old neded help with it. It should not be too easy or boring for 8yr old.

Size-wise he would probably be okay riding it, but the shifting is tight and it might be difficult depending on how strong/coordinated the six year old is.

I gave one to my 12-year-old grandson last year, and he solved it within a half hour, so way too easy for him. I would think a child between 6 and 10 would probably enjoy it the most. It needs to be somewhat difficult for them, or it won't hold their attention. It was a lot of money for 1/2 hour entertainment.

All I can say is that we all struggled with the answers (ages 28 to 60+). Probably too difficult for the average nine year old - at least I hope so; but then again I struggle with "Are you smarter than a 5th Grader".

It very well could be. The controls for the game aren't very complicated, but the premise of the game can be. I would recommend Pikmin for kids in the 7-12 range due to the problem solving aspects as well as the impending frustration from some of the tougher parts of the game. If she's a problem-solver and has good hand eye coordination, it might be worth a shot! Plus, you could always play it too and it is definitely a really fun game. I'm 28 and I love it.

I don't have a child to test on, but I would think a 6 year old and up would be able to figure it out with some help from a parent or friends.

It depends on the skill level of the person. In general if you are able to read the cards and can form basic strategy in your head you should do well. I know someone as young as 11 playing but again it depends on what games they have experience with.

No, I don't think it's too easy. The game comes with challenges (pictures showing 100 different starting board layouts), from easy to extremely difficult. IQ Fit, IQ Link, and Bend It are games in the same universe and may be a little more challenging -- definitely none of the smart adults with multiple college degrees we know has made it through all the challenges for any of these. . . (I mean, they aren't spending hours each day trying, either, but none of these games is a slam dunk once you get out of the "beginner" level.)

It depends. If they enjoy puzzles or chess-style games then no. Otherwise I would wait as it does require planning your moves.

This game could be appropriate for intelligent children who don't mind getting a few wrong. The political, TV/film, and Literature questions can be challenging, but many of the other categories are a little more about just general knowledge that you learn in school.

Hard to say, I would say it's beyond the abilities of an average 7yo BUT some are pretty advanced, and perhaps with assistance from an older sibbling (or parent) with the building it would be possible... they won't have a problem operating it - it's a simple remote control

I think that a six-year-old can pick up the basic mechanics easily, but is likely to rely heavily on luck to win. I would definitely start them playing using the rules that lack the dragon tiles, which is the same as playing the original Tsuro.

Of course. It really depends on the interests of the child. If the 6-year old likes building things he'll have fun with this. My husband who is way older than 6 is the one who wanted to buy this!
