what age range is this game for?

We bring it out at Christmas every year before the kids go to bed - it is a real family friendly game and we have people as young as 5 (with a little help every now and then) play, and we quite often continue to play it when the kids have gone to bed. So I'd say 5-100!

Would this be suitable for a 5 year old?

If you played the easy version, quite possible. Depends on how well they can cope with initial sounds. I have played it with a 5 year old, giving them extra time to think about the sound.

How robust is the central piece...or how flimsy?!

Hi Jane It's fine I've got 3 boys aged 13,11 & 10 and it's still going strong after many many plays Its a fantastic game Well worth the buy!!!

I bought this for my daughter for Xmas but there are no instructions in the box. Are there any additional instructions apart from on the box?

Basically you all sit round the game, One draws a card and chooses a topic...ie Things you find at School...The youngest goes first and presses the 10s timer and shouts out an answer and presses the corresponding letter...play passes to the next player who hits the reset of the timer and thinks fast following on...play stops when the timer runs out or you run out of letters... My twins 8yrs and my 13yr old love it...we play it as a family...the winner has the most cards when you decide to stop...lol
