Question 1

ok for a 15 year old boy?

Accepted Answer

I think the first few sets of problems may be a little simple, but they get progressively harder.  I know I (33 years old) enjoyed playing it with my son (almost 9).  If he's interested in coding and has no experience, this might be a fun way to start.  From here I'd move to something like www.codecombat.com which is a fun website that teaches coding concepts in a slightly more sophisticated way then this great board game.  Hope that helps.

Question 2

Are the challenges cards visual or is it written? this game should go to a french speaking kid. would he be able to play it without reading english?

Accepted Answer

The challenge cards are visual but the instructions are written in English and there are no French translations accompanying the cards. Therefore if one does not have a mastery of beginners English it might be hard to follow the game rules and enjoy it fully.

Question 3

Can i buy this for my 6 year old?

Accepted Answer

My son started playing this at 7 (older 7, almost 8), but he has one of those brains that loves logic challenges and can stay focused when he has to try several times to figure things out. I wouldn't say most 6 year olds would like it, but if your child already is showing interest and is focusing on logic skills, then they may like it? Check out the website for the makers of this game. There may be another game more appropriate for the age if you don't want to chance it.

Question 4

Would my 14 year old like this game.

Accepted Answer

There are different levels of difficulty and even my husband enjoys the harder ones (he is an engineer) but I think he enjoys it because of our kids. I did buy it though for our kids 6+8 and they love it. If your 14-year old has done some programming before he/she may be through the book quickly and get bored. I think it's more targeted for younger kids
