Scientific ExplorerCrime Catchers Spy Science Kit

I was looking to re purchase this until I saw some poor reviews that made me want to review now! My daughters and I had a lot of fun with it particularly my 6 year old. My 9 liked the detective but where she could guess whose the culprit. I love it this way rather than as a series of instructions to follow through as science experiments (which is a lot of the science kits out there)

Y realmente no tiene mucho de científico, la niña se sintió estafada que las respuestas estaban en la otra hoja

Very misleading! My daughter asked for a spy kit for Christmas and was sadly disappointed on Christmas morning when this was nothing more than a skimpy board game. Complete rip off and over priced!!

It was fun for my granddaughter, but it is a one-time event. It has several components, but can only be played one time and cannot be repeated.

We got this for our almost 11 year old granddaughter who is interested in forensics for Christmas.I opened the box, took out all the contents and read through the entire book. I wanted to make sure it was age-appropriate and to see what supplies were not included (as indicated in the reviews). I also highlighted some important steps so she wouldn't miss them.My first picture shows what came in the kit and the second shows the items I added to the kit. I didn't want her to have to stop and go hunt for stuff. A trip to the Dollar Store took care of most of it. The citric acid can be picked up at Walmart, Amazon or possibly Michael's. I also labeled all the items for her.She hasn't worked through the "cases" yet, so I'll try to update once I hear from her about her experience.I gave this three stars for "giftable" and "value" because of it lacking so many items. I gave it four stars because, after reading through the entire manual, it appears to be age appropriate.
