I have bought for my niece who is 9years old and started learning English. She loves it. It was also good fun for the family

The boys love playing brain box and great for there memoryHours of great funGreat buy

Good quality

Came in handy for Christmas games. Not exactly fun for all the family as non-football folks will be disadvantaged by some of the questions. Nevertheless, would recommend.

Bought for my 9 year old, he absolutely loves this game. It's so simple and everyone in the family played this on his birthday from 9 - 74. We all enjoyed it. It's not just for people who know Football facts as each card has various other items on for example 3 red devils on the card for Manchester United, and one of the questions is "How many red devils were on the card?" So it is a real observation/memory game. You can play for as long as you want and then just add up how many cards each person has at the end. Great simple idea, great quality. Excellent!

We’ve got this expansion along with the base game; the quality is consistent across the two, however the contents and the value it adds, especially for the price, is underwhelming.(The box of the base game is suitable to accommodate the cards of the expansion set, however some significant countries are still missing, and if there’ll be another expansion, the cards from those will not fit; a minor inconvenience.)

I own a couple of other titles from the series of BrainBox games, and this is just as entertaining as those. The box says up 1 to 8 players. It can definitely be played by 1, but it’s definitely more fun with multiple players – probably 3 or 4 is the optimum so you’re not waiting too long between goes.If you’ve not played them before, the premise is simple. The box contains a series of double-sided game cards, an egg-timer and an 8-sided die. A player picks a card, and gets the time afforded by a spin of the egg-timer to try and absorb all the information on the picture side of the card. This contains not only images, but also facts and figures. Take a look at my photos for an example of one of the cards.When the time is up, the player rolls the die and another player then asks the observer the corresponding numbered question on the reverse of the card. This might be a question about the facts and figures, or the image itself, and is often very simple but devilishly difficult to answer as you may have spent all your time remembering everything but the one detail you needed! All the BrainBox games have a different theme, and this one is The World, with each card focussing on a different country.It's beautiful in its simplicity and masses of fun to play. There’s also a lot of flexibility as you can allow a bit more or less time as you see fit, so can adapt the game and give more time to kids than adults if you like (or maybe the other way around!!). As there are loads of cards with eight questions on each, the game never gets old or repetitive. It’s also highly educational for children, demanding that you commit facts about different countries to memory – a lot of this will stick.Entertaining and educational – you can’t go wrong!

Very good item to use in classes for learning English in my country, Spain. Highly motivating for students of different ages and level. Playing with Brain Box encourages them to speak and they learn many other cross curricular issues.
