My daughter is in first grade and got the game for Christmas. Practicing arithmetic you do not do quite as much joy, but in this game she did not even notice that they way exerts the arithmetic. The game makes you a lot of fun and it is their not become boring so far. My son is 12 and with him I tried the hardest game level. Not for the adults without - Although in the recommended age "to 10" is specified, I must say, this stage is also - or precisely! Come now to the actual arithmetic must be added the retentiveness. Specifically, this means: One must not only remember that part of the 3 calculated results on which character you have also in between doing other shopping tasks and should not be forgotten previously been calculated results. That was quite a challenge not only for me. My conclusion: For the beginners learning a beautifully animated educational game. For the older a challenge to the gray matter!
