- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2025Got this game for my 7 year old's birthday. He's a cat lover and loves Clue Jr. We love this game because of the ease of play and the quick reset for next game. We also love that you can play solo or with 2 players, unlike many games that require 3+ to be enjoyable; making it a fun pick for only children or small families.
The puzzles are a great introduction to logic and critical thinking for young minds. The game makes a great visual for learning"if-then" conditional statements.
The only downside would be the replay value once you inevitably make it through the deck of cards. But I think the learning value as a teaching tool is worth the cost. If the game designer ever came out with expansion packs of the cards, or downloadable puzzles, that would keep the value higher.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2025Fun way to practice critical thinking. Everyone in the family enjoys it, ages 5-adult. It's not a typical fun game, but if you like puzzles and challenges you won't be disappointed.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2025My granddaughter loves cats. This game was a big hit and kept her entertained during the holidays. She enjoyed having something different for her and her friends to play with.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2025My 8 year old loves this game! She loves that she can play this game by herself!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2024We gave this as an early holiday gift to our grandkids, 8 yrs old, and they loved working it out. Interestingly, each claimed a kitty character, then hoped it wasn't the one culprit...another dimension that the game did not recommend but they enjoyed. We had previously played "Outfoxed", when they were younger, that seemed a bit simpler. And there is always one kid who wants to peek to see whodunnit without working it out, at least in this family.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2025Can even be played by one person! Our family had a great time working together to solve the “crimes”. You dont compete against each other but are working to solve as a group. Very interesting to waych team dynamics! There are also levels (beginner to expert) so you can pick the right level of complexity for you.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2024Was so happy to find a game that makes the kids think! And this is perfect. Does start out pretty easy and then gets harder. Was sad they already had it...and yet, they kept saying that they loved it! They will re-gift this to another young girl that also loves cats.
So, if your child (boy or girl) loves cats, loves to solve things...this is a perfect gift!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2025Great way to rev up your brain. Lots of fun ideas of how to think like a feline.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game for the family
Fun game suitable for all ages. Easy enough for a four year old with a bit of guidance. A great game to stimulate the mind. Game pieces are made of thick cardboard. Hope it lasts!
- Mr. J. HowieReviewed in the United Kingdom on December 21, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars A great little puzzle game for kids and adults
My 6 year old is obsessed with cats and loves logic games. This was a birthday present for her and it tends to come out about once a week for a few games. She picked up the concept quickly, and can play it by herself now. The 40 cards of varying difficulty means that while she can do about half she struggles with the much harder set, but then so do I!
Some of the clues (eye colour) are a little tricky, but there is the guide book which has a little 'bio' for each cat which is easily referred to.
Such a simple concept, with nice graphics, and very entertaining. Hopefully the materials (thick cardboard) will stand up to use over time, in which case this will continue to be 5*!
