Pirate Island Treasure Hunt Game Floor Pad Game for Ages 3, 4, 5

Very cute & unique game ! It's fun & easy to get the hang of . My little ones are 3 to 8 & we were all in the swing by round 3 . We did switch up the rules a bit to fit us better , & tried some variations like a musical chairs style . I really try my best to encourage theirteamwork together & this is a truly wonderful help when things start to get a bit kerfluffley . What makes this game so much fun is how much it sparks imagination & sharing ideas to find different ways it can be played . All the materials are flawless . Pretty images & high quality pieces . We have made many happy memories with this !

This game is an easy to learn game that gets kids up and moving. It is a nice game to get the wiggles out. It's memory meets musical chairs. The kids love to make up their own moves as well as try to find the treasure under the pads.

My grandkids really liked this fun game. It’s very active so tired them out, too. Kind of similar to ring around the Rosie combined with hide and seek/treasure hunt with a fun pirate theme. Easy directions too!

I played this game with my 3 year old twin grand kids, and it was mostly a hit. My granddaughter thought it was super fun and wanted to play it over and over again, while my grandson enjoyed the first couple of rounds but then got a little bored. He still wanted to play, but decided he needed some running and jumping action between rounds. They both preferred to make up their own moves, so instead of following the spinner, we hopped like frogs, crawled like alligators, flew like butterflies, and stomped like dinosaurs. Personally, I was impressed with their imaginations and thought it actually added a lot of creative fun to the game. For us, it was a fast-paced game, and after playing for about 45 minutes, this grandma was a little out of breath. The round pads are made of thin foam, and the rest of the pieces are a sturdy cardboard. The game is a little pricey for what you get, but I guess what you're really paying for is the idea, and since it gets kids away from screens and up and moving, it's a winner in my book.

A cute game that the kids love to play. Not only does it get them moving (jumping, hopping, running) about, but it encourages their creativity as they make up stories about playing the game, including making some additional props. (Like a spyglass out of a paper towel tube)

We stockpile games for the grandkids, nephews & nieces, and friends' kids that visit. When you are trying to cover ages 2 through 16 it can be quit challenging (and expensive)! Especially because their attention spans aren't typically too long, and they need a lot of different games to take up a rainy day (or a week at grandma's!).To be fair, the kids really enjoyed this Pirate Island Treasure Hunt game and would probably have rated it a 4 or 5 on their own. We only gave it a "good" rating of 3 stars because for $20 we expected it to be more than a cardboard spinner, some colorful circles that the kids race around and then jump on to see if there is a prize piece under their circle, and a few other printed cards. We've used it with kids ranging from 4 to 6 years old, and they did play it happily for about 30 minutes before becoming ready to move on to something else.If you are looking for a game for kids 3-5, and you have a large enough play area to set out the circles on the floor and let them run around it, this game isn't a bad choice. We will probably be pulling it off the shelf once or twice whenever kids that age are visiting.

I am having a great time with this game with our 5 year old. It is a bit unique as it has a style of combining the idea of musical chairs (in that you go in circle until captain counts 3 and then you stop) together with memory, in a cooperative type of game. You have 10 foam pads with a 8 inch diameter which you spread out in a circle and the designated captain hides the 5 tokens under 5 of the 10 pads while the others close their eyes. The rest of the game then consists of spinning the spinner and, following one of the 6 movement directions (eg. spin, crawl, sneak, ...), the others go around the circle and stop when the captain counts to 3 and then looks under their pad to see if a treasure or lava piece is there. If a lava piece, it gets put back (this is the memory part as players try to remember where they are) and one of the volcano pieces are turned over (There are 3 pieces to the volcano). If a treasure is found it gets put on the treasure block. Game is won if all 3 treasure pieces are found before the volcano is built. It is a cooperative game with all players helping to remember where the volcano pieces are but I play it alone with just our 5 year old with great fun. Between the pads, spinner, tokens and the 3 volcano pieces we have actually come up with several ways to just play with the pieces or create different versions of the game. All in all, this is a fun and creative game. composed of good quality components. I would recommend ages 3-6.

This Pirate Island Treasure Hunt game is unbelievably cute. It is extremely interactive, and the players work together, rather than compete with one another in order to win. There is a captain (which would most likely be an adult observer, as it is for us for my nieces to play) who hides the treasure and lava tokens under the foam pads that are spread out on the floor. The captain (or a player, if you allow) spins the spinner. The players perform the action that the spinner indicates as they move around until the captain decides to shout “Treasure hunt! 123!”. At that point, the players must quickly stand on an individual game pad, and then search underneath it to see if they have found a token. If they find a treasure token, it is collected and put on the treasure chest board. If they find a volcano piece, it is replaced under the same pad, but a piece of the the volcano image is flipped over, and the players must try to remember to not select that pad again. If they get all of the treasure chest pieces first, they win. If they flip all three volcano pieces first, they lose. I love the adorable, vibrant graphics and the silly motions and the memory challenge aspect. It is a creative and fun and adventurous game and I would definitely recommend it!
