 Great learning game! January 8, 2008
My children loved the adventure game so much that they were willing to do the math required to solve the puzzles. It made a great review for them to use over the summer.
They even wanted to play the game again after finishing it the first time.

I opened up the game and the minute I heard Soferdus (Joni's dog) do the first narration sentence, I knew I would like this game. The way they create this is brilliant. It covers most subjects and teaches them in a way that is very helpful for those who are having trouble. You start off in Cairo to find an ancient scroll. My only regrets for the Cairo area is you have to go back to the activities over and over until you deciphered all 5 clues and the geography game is very long and my favorite game, the fabric fractions game, is very short. Then you sail up the Nile to an island where you must collect gems from the mice in the area (who seem to think they are ancient Egyptians). Again, you have to keep going back to the activities until you've earned all the gems. The difference between Cairo is they always give you 3 cairoglyphs and run out, but you can never tell how many gems the rats have until they run out. Therefore, my least favorite games get played over and over, but my favorite games can get short. Also, for some strange reason, I had to play a pillar building game using decimals (that I hate) over and over and over until he ran out of gems. After that, they must go thru ancient challenges until they reach the end. Then just sit back and enjoy the rest of the story. I love the humor in this thing, but it kind of insults the Egyptian gods at one point. (I can't tell you where because it gives away an important part.)
Overall, it's a great game, although I must say the plot is much greater then the learning concept. The plot will grip children and they will go back again and again and move up levels until they have learned everything in the game. I recommend it (despite my complaints). ~Russian Blue Witch

I love the CD outside of not saving or being a help button. I learned about Ra and Napolian. Next,I learned the closest state to Canada was Minnsota.The first Clue Finders CD I saw was the 6th grade one.

I teach special education classes in a jr. high school. This program (and the 5th Grade Adventure) is terrific for my students who are 6th to 8th graders reading at 3rd to 5th grade level. they have the same interest as every other Jr. High student, but not the ability to process at the same level. My students play this game all the time -- It is not patronizing to the students like a Reader Rabbit game would be. I have purchased several copies so that more than one student can play at a time. I HIGHLY reccommend it.
