| |  | | Home » Mystery Garden Game | | | | | | WARNING:| CHOKING HAZARD -- Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs. |
| | | Description: | | Randomly place the 48 picture cards face down around the game board. The youngest player begins by picking up any one of the picture cards they choose, being sure not to show it to any of the other players. This picture card shows an exact picture of an object on the game board. The other players try to guess the object by asking "yes" or "no" questions. After each question, the single playing piece is moved along the path in the mystery garden. The player who correctly guesses the object shown on the picture card keeps that card & draws another one from around the game board. Then the questions begin again. If no one has guessed the object by the time the playing piece reaches the castle, the player answering the questions keeps the picture card & draws another one & the questioning starts over. The player with the most picture cards at the end of the game wins. What Do You Learn? Recognition, association, deductive reasoning. | | | Features: | |

 Why Ravensburger is terrificOct 28, 2008
By Charlie's Mom
Let me preface this by saying, I am now a big Ravensburger fan. I have a verbal, game loving 3 1/2 year old. He is obsessed with Junior Labrynth (sp?) which ranks as one of the best children's games I have ever seen. It teaches kids to think ahead - so is a great precursor to chess. Plus it is goulish in tenor, so kids love it. With this is mind, I purchased mystery garden and the enchanted forest. They are both wonderful. Mystery garden is the simplest - it is just a 20 questions game, but it is made visual and has magical elements, so it is so much better for children. It teaches them to learn to ask general questions "Can you eat it?" as opposed to limited ID questions, "Is it the blueberries?". My son loves it and is beginning to grasp the concept of narrowing down the options through careful questioning. Enchanted forest is also a MUST HAVE. A+ to this lovely company.

 Cute but small gameFeb 24, 2009
By Robert Petkus
This game is a novel spin on 20 questions. A player uncovers a card with an image and other players take turns trying to guess what it is. If the image is correctly guessed that player moves toward the top. Each image on the card is somewhere on the board, hidden in a rich and crowded garden that is so packed with details it could have come straight from an "I Spy" or "Where is Waldo?" page.
My problem with the game, and my reason for only awarding 3-stars is its size. The game board is maybe 12x9 inches and, to make matters worse, comes in (2) pieces that fit together like a puzzle. I thought it was a mistake when I opened the box. What was Ravensbuger thinking on this one? As it stands, the game board is much to small for all the images crammed into it and unless you have a completely level surface, the board keeps detaching -- there goes playing on the carpet.
Great idea -- poor implementation.

My child could play this at 3 and it was a welcome relief from Candyland! It's a simple, imaginative game that the whole family can enjoy.

Mystery Garden gameJan 14, 2008
By Michelle Hansen
"good game appreciator"
This is a great game because of its simlicity. There is a big detailed picture and a bunch of tiles with pieces of the big picture on them. One player selects a tile and the other players ask yes and no questions to figure out what the tile is. We love to play this game as a family.

Family Favorite!Mar 21, 2009
By Happy mom
We bought this toy for our children, ages 4 and 5, for Christmas. We have played it several times a week since then and have purchased four more as gifts. My son has been in speech therapy since he was two and this game has even helped to further develop his language skills. We love it and enjoy it as a top pick for family game time.
