1wif104Yes So simple, so fun. This plays really great as a family game with mixed ages. You can easily change it to accomidate different difficulty levels.
Mark100 I gave this game to my sister for Christmas. Both she and her kids loved it.
Admiral Fisher94Yes Brilliant! You can vary it as much as you like - having more or less cards in the circle. You can teach your kids some memory techniques. It is as much of a challenge for adults as children and it is also good to play with adults over a bottle of wine.
habermanm95Yes Very fun memory game that is good for adults too. You can vary the difficulty by placing more or less cards in the circle. Easier with more players,since you see more cards in between your turns.
Jatoha9  Card game. Fun memory game. Reminds me of Chicken Cha Cha Cha.
robingoblin94Yes Fun game, works well with my four year old and challenging enough for older kids and for adults as long as they aren't too ruthless....
shawndumas94Yes More interesting game play then Memory. Pre-teens and teens will most likely enjoy playing. No half naked women, gore, cursing, or morbidity.
Yollege94Some A better game than Chicken Cha Cha Cha in my opinion, but similar feel to the game. We are having a good time playing it right now. 4 yr old enjoys it alot.
Bigeeh84Some Very good memory game. Colorful yet simple pictures. Good card stock. My daugter is 11 and will still pull this one out on occasion.
Germarish8  A unique stlye memory game. Highly recommended. Game difficulty can easily be increased or decreased by adding or subracting the number of cards used in play.
metalchorus84Yes Fun memory game for kids. Easy to make game shorter or longer.
TazWinter86Yes Components: Sherlock consists of one deck of high quality cards. The cards are much thicker than standard playing cards, which is excellent for kids. I was very pleasantly surprised, considering the game is quite inexpensive. The illustrations on the cards are well done and pleasing to the eye. The rules are simple and easy to follow right from the start. Game Play: It's a very simple memory game. Sherlock starts at one face down card and the player whose turn it is must remember the picture on the card. (before the game starts, player get 30secs to view the cards). Impression: Because the game is a memory game, kids can usually beat adults (at least in my house). This is a big plus since it makes playing fun for adults as well as kids. It's a lot of fun to watch the kids trying and trying to remember the card.
tiggle84Some Good for a memory game; similar to Chicken Cha-Cha-Cha, but significantly less expensive. Nicely made, more fun and variable, than Chicken CCC.
Doomfarer75Some Not as good as I thought it would be.
Moogler2174Some It is basically a memory game. My daughter is three and it is a little too difficult for her, even with fewer cards. She does much better with the regular memory game, I think the movement of the sherlock piece confuses her a little bit. While she does enjoy this game it still is a bit too much for her. I expect her enjoyment to increase as she gets a little bit older.
fluffdaddy6  At least at this point, Chicken Cha Cha Cha is much better loved at our house. (Our eldest is 5.) OTOH, this is a favorite game of adults who want to scramble their brains with a memory game.
