    PLEASE NOTE: This will take an adult or older child (teenager) a few minutes to assemble BEFORE you can start playing. Everything you need is in the box and once this game is assembled it can stay in the box which is definitely an added bonus. Instructions are included and PLEASE make sure you put the utensils in the correct positions as shown. They click in place and not designed to come off at the end of each game.Aim of the game? To get the bug to go into your food compartment of which there are FOUR to choose from: fish, cheese, chocolate and bread. If less than four people are playing, blocks are included to block off up to two entrances.The size of the box/board is approximately 16 3/4" x 11 1/2". Size of bug is 4 11/16" in length.How do you get the bug to go into your food? You roll the die. On that die there is a fork, spoon, knife and three question marks. If it lands on a specific utensil you can only rotate the said one. If, however, it falls on a question mark you can rotate whichever utensil you desire. The aim is to block the ant going to your competitors but it is definitely not as easy as it looks. Speed does play a part in this game so for younger kids could cause some frustration. The bug? It just moves around at random in the area it is being allowed making a clicking noise. The LR44 battery required is provided.Our daughter purchased this for her young brother's birthday and it has been a definite HIT! Would highly recommend for those of you looking for a new, fast paced and exciting game. The first one to get 5 tokens is the WINNER! Happy playing, Liz

    This game is so much fun. I own a speech therapy practice and every child I’ve ever played this game with has loved it. I think the age recommendation on the box is appropriate. If you have younger children, try the “my first bugs in the kitchen“ game. It is simpler, with a bigger bug, and every bit as much fun! I recommend having either extra watch, batteries or extra hex bugs on hand. The hex bugs are often on sale here on Amazon, and might cost you less than the batteries! bonus: use the hex bugs that come with the game and build a maze with blocks for them to travel through or just let them roam on the counter or hard surface floor.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2016
    Style: Bugs in the KitchenVerified Purchase
    I bought this as a birthday gift for my 8 year old grandson. It does take an adult to set it up (or at least someone old enough to read and follow directions). While I only played it once with him and his 9 year old sister, I thought it was fun and challenging. I picked it thinking the title would be good for an 8 year old boy, but the game is not gross at all. Unfortunately, my grandson thought the bug was way too much fun and played with it until the battery gave up. whether the battery can be replaced or not, I don't know since he told me the game was shot because the bug didn't work and then it was left out and walked on, etc. He loves board games, but I reminded him that there is a reason I keep some of his gifts at my house! Not likely I'll replace it, but for a more responsible family it would probably be a lot of fun.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER RAVENSBURGER HIT!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2017
    Style: Bugs in the KitchenVerified Purchase
    Wow! This is an amazing game! I have been buying games for my family for 30+ years. One of our all time Ravensburger favorites is Labyrinth which I played with my kids when they were little and now play with them on occasion as young adults. Ravensburgers "Bugs in the Kitchen' is a new favorite of the kids that i watch in my in home daycare. I watch little kids who are between the age of 3-5 so I had my doubts about this game being appropriate for them. But this game was a huge hit. Be sure to follow the instructions in setting up the board since I had thought I was "smart" enough to do it without reading them which resulted in some loose pieces not fitting properly. Once I explained to the kids how to play it took them only a couple of rounds before they caught on. Of course the youngest ones enjoyed watching the bug running around more than actually playing the game but they were able to participate by rolling the dice and moving the silverware piece. The older kids actually were using strategy to figure out where the bug was going to move to get around the maze. They wanted the bug to land in their section of course and they thought and rethought (sometimes out loud) about how their move would effect the movement of the bug. The game arrived from Amazon quickly and we have already played it multiple times in the short amount of time I have owned it. The board and pieces are sturdy, as is all of the Ravensburger games, and I expect for it to last a long time. The bug has a replaceable battery so not problem there. This is a great family game for adults and kids to play together. Additionally it could be played solo and still be lots of fun! I look forward to using this game for many years to come.

    Such a fun and interactive game to get kids and adults involved. The game is sturdy and well made . Well worth the money. The hexabug can get stuck when the battery (one LR44) is low so have some extras on hand. Also need to play this on a flat surface and not on the carpet as an uneven surface affects the movement of the hexabug. Love this game!
