| | | The game will always stay open with its challenging game play and attractive wooden design. Roll two dice, add the dots and find the best combination of numbers to shut two rows of nine tiles. Don't touch a tile on the second row unless you have already shut the tile in front of it. Very few can shut all the tiles and close the super box. Even less can stop playing this addicting game, so always remember to play in moderation. Blue Orange plants two trees for every tree used to produce their games. | | | |

Fun Game for all ages! Nov 24, 2008
By KCB
I asked for this game for my 38th birthday--believe it or not! Every time I would take my 2 children into the local toy store I would stand and play this game which they had on display. Honestly, it is a great educational game for both my 6 and 9 year old children--you have to add up the dice and then figure out which combination of numbers is best to flip down. It really is fun and very addictive. I knew my kids would love to give it to me since they always saw me play it, and I also knew they would enjoy it and not realize they were having to do math!

 Great for 1st/2nd Grade Math Fact... a bit addictive, too Feb 15, 2009
By K. Desilva
My daughter's 4th grade friends had fun competing with each other, trying to "shut the box" or get the lowest score. For my 1st grade son, it was a fun way to reinforce his addition math facts. All the kids liked it. We've purchased a couple more sets for birthday presents for friends. This version (Double Shutter)is a better made product than it's "junior" counterpart. This rendition has nice "shutters" (they are made of something similar to domino tiles),the box is felt lined and everything snaps shut into the tin. The only thing I don't like is the retail price. We've tried to purchase it on sale, which occasionally you can find it for 20 to 25% off at some stores (much better value then).

6 yr olds can play! Oct 26, 2008
By My3sons
This is a great thinking game for kids. It can either be played alone where you compete against yourself, or you can be motivated to play rounds and beat someone else!

A game for all ages Jul 04, 2011
By Michael A. Steen
I bought this game when my wife and I were on vacation near Washington D.C. At first she was a little skeptical, but that afternoon over drinks and snacks, I dragged it out and we started to play. Now, my wife is not much of a game player, but she loved it instantly, and we played for a couple of hours. After that, it became our afternoon "tradition" for the rest of the vacation.
Now, just last week, my grandson started to play it with me (he's 7.5), and he took to it and understood it immediately. We played at least 15 games, and he loves it. So far he's still counting the numbers on the dice, but I'm confident that very soon he'll be adding them at sight. Even my 5 year old granddaughter likes flipping the pieces up and down, though she hasn't quite caught on to the concept of the game yet.
One of the things I like best about it is that set-up is instantaneous--just tilt the box and the pieces flip up ready for a new game. Too, there's nothing to lose except, maybe, the dice, but they're pretty easy to replace anywhere.
This game is very durable, well-made, quiet, quick, and loads of fun.

Math can indeed be fun Mar 26, 2011
By laura kirkland
"keithsbug"
Double Shutter is a math-oriented game, where the player rolls the dice and then turns over 2 rows of "keys" where the numbers turned down (or shut) must equal the sum of the dice. It is a simple math-oriented concept that doesn't feel "boring". The game ends when the player cannot make the sum of the keys equal the dice - or the player turns over all the keys. If multiple people are playing, the one with the lowest total on the remaining keys wins. If it is a solo game, winning is technically when all the keys are turned over.
We first received this toy as a gift for my son (age 6.5 and very good at math) from my brother, who had a friend recommend it since it was "Toy of the Year." I have since given it twice to my son's friends who are celebrating their 7th birthdays. My brother enjoyed it so much that he bought one for himself to keep at his office for stress relief.
Things I like about it:
Can be played alone or with multiple people.
Great for reinforcing that 1+7 = 6+2 = 5+2+1, etc.
Fast games.
Adults love it perhaps even more than kids.
Easy for kids and parents to play together.
Comes in a good case for easy storage.
Things I don't like:
It's addictive!!!
