(More customer reviews)Since both my girls loved Briarpatch's preschool I Spy game, enjoy I Spy books and even the I Spy show on HBO, I figured this would be a sure fire winner. And you know what? It was a winner for everyone except me because it made me realize my memory is horrible.
The game consists of picture dice, a timed shaker and game cards. The player shakes the dice then has a set amount of time to study them before covering them back up. The player then draws a card and announces which items (s)he recalls from the dice. Any opponent can challenge them and take a chance at stealing their card. I want to point out that there are two sets of cards - an easy set for young (or novice) players and a harder set for older or more seasoned players.
To sum up "I Spy Private Eye" in one sentence - It's a memory game on steroids. What I discovered is that my 4 year old daughter seldom got it wrong. My 5 1/2 year old and I needed to verbalize what we saw to increase our chances of getting it correct. It gave me some great insight into the differences in the way they learn. Armed with this knowledge, I'll be able to incorporate different techniques into their education as they grow up.
While sometimes I throw my turn in games, this one was pretty genuine. I would swear that I saw something but find out during the reveal that I was wrong! Seriously, I need to brush up on my Dale Carnegie memory skills. This game is noted as being ages 5 and up, but it really is challenging for any age. Both my girls enjoy playing it and often start a game up without me!
If you are looking for a game that teaches focus and memorization, be sure to add this to your wish list.

Can you remember what you spy? In the I Spy Private Eye game, the object is to remember the most matches to collect the most cards and win. Just shake up the picture cubes, press the timer and go! You have 30 seconds to spy the images on nine picture cubes. Then close the Jumbler lid, choose an I Spy picture card and find the images that match the cubes to win the card! But watch out... if you miss a match, your opponent may challenge and win the card. Ages five and up.
