    The box and game appears to have been updated and now is recommended for 4 year olds and up not 3 year olds. Can’t comment further as was purchased for a gift.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersSuper cute little game. We’ve had to add a few little rules in as it is utterly nonsense, but a good base to work off and my 3 Yr old loves it.
    Has been great to replace evening screen time with a couple of games of this!

    This game is amazing. Takes around 10 minutes to complete so littles ones don’t lose interest. My son gets so excited trying to find the Gruffalo and getting to the finish to grab the nut.

    My son has this game (given as a pass me down from a friend). He absolutely loves it. So when he was invited to his friends birthday party I knew I had to get her this game.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersWith a 2 and 4 year old, I am always looking for games they will both enjoy. We bought this game for holiday although took it out of the box for travelling. It comes with a board, dice, 4 cardboard mice and 5 trees (and a nut).

    It is simple to play. The dice rolls either 1,2 or 3 (discovered as my husband questioned why we were all rolling such small numbers!). You move round the board and take a chance looking under a tree when you land on certain numbers. There is little skill needed so both children enjoy playing equally!

    Perfect for a family holiday or a quick game to enjoy as a young family

    My son (age 4) and I really like this game. He doesn’t have the best attention span so the simplicity of it works for us. Technically it’s a 4 player game but realistically it is best suited to 2. The dice only has the numbers 1-3 repeated over it which is a bit too simple but this is easily replaced. The colours of the board are bright and vibrant and my son loves lining the little trees up in their spots. It has been really great for encouraging turn taking. As the item suggests I would say 3+ is appropriate.

    This is mine and my daughters favourite game to play. She is 4 and has grasped the game very easily. Instructions are very clear and the game is fun, especially if you love the gruffalo as much as we do. We play this as much as possible, even if we have a spare 5 minuets while waiting for tea to cook.

    Great little game, perfect for the little ones. Big sis even enjoyed it at age 6, but at 5 and 7 they have pretty much grown out of it, as sadly once big sis says it’s babyish it loses it’s appeal. Sigh.

    My nearly 4 year old finds it hard to concentrate and hates learning numbers so this was really tricky for her to be honest. Even though I explained she doesn’t have to recognise all the numbers on the board she still hates this game for the fact that she has to follow basic rules of throw the dice (0-3) and move character along the board that many times. Such a shame because the game itself is lovely and simple.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersMy four year old granddaughter loves the Gruffalo books, but I felt I’d missed the moment with this game because she is way past the stage of counting past three. However, she really likes it (more than I do). I think she likes the fact that she can set it up (and memorise which tree is which picture) and have to remind the adults what they have to do for each prompt on the board. Simple game that doesn’t last too long and refers to the characters in the book.

    It’s alright. It’s a small and quick game for younger kids. It had different levels of “difficulty” so you can change it up. It’s a good novelty thing as a one off but it’s not particularly a game you would play a lot.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersA simple and fun game for youngsters.
    We bought this for my two and a half year old daughter and had a lot of fun playing it, as a family, along with our 6 year old son.
    Great for teaching children about counting, memory retention and, most importantly, taking turns.

    My 3 yr old grandson has learnt how to play this game fairly easily using the instructions for the younger children. Problem is he wants to land on the picture steps , and obviously wants to win everytime! He also plays with the game as a toy on his own. It is pretty sturdy and well thought out, particularly the dice going up to number 3 only.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersFun little game for any fan of the Gruffalo. The game itself is very quick and very simple. So the age rating is on point. The main pull is the theme, i.e. the Graffalo. The game does a good job of gamifying the Gruffalo story. Solidly made. Good buy.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersI bought this for my 4 & 5 year old, they absolutely love the gruffalo so I knew this would be a bit! They love it, it’s easy and simple to play and doesn’t take to long either so they stay focused on the game and don’t loose interest. It’s very cute and we love playing as a family. Would highly recommend

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersMy 4 year old loves this game. It’s not a long drawn out game, over & done with quite quickly or u can change rules to older kids rules so lasts a bit longer. Depends on his mood which he chooses. Usually swaps & changes to ensure he wins great wee kids game.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersNot a very exciting game for adults, but for us it’s more about quality time with the kids. My 3yo loves it. It only takes about 5 minutes to finish, so it’s alright for his attention span. My 6yo learnt the rules in a flash, and it’s not really challenging enough for her. I’m not a fan of Gruffalo, but this was the only board game suitable for toddlers that I could find, and it’s money well spent, I guess. The rules are a bit confusing and not very clever, I must say. Design-wise, it’s nice. The box doubles up as dice tray. The board is made of two parts that click together like a puzzle.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Short and sweet, but I expected smth a bit more cleve
