    We bought several computer games recently with an emphasis on learning or educational software. This is the best game we have tried so far. VERY engaging for our 8 year old third grader. Activities are challenging and cause her to do some thinking, but not so hard she gets discouraged. She couldnt wait to finish the whole game. We rate this A++, but dont expect to get months of enjoyment out of it. Get it used at a good price because the whole game is finished in about 3 hours and after that there isnt much to do that is enjoyable. You have to solve a mystery, and do learning type tasks to solve the mystery, so that is great, but once you solve the case, it is all done, no more to do. Just keep that in mind. We LOVED it!

    I bought this software for my 5 year old. Hes a little young for it, but we made the most of it. We dont do a lot of TV or video games so he wasnt put off by the lower quality graphics. Overall, a good purchase.

    My first and third graders both love this game and play it all the time. I personally haven`t played it, so I can not tell you that much about it. I use this game as part of our homeschool.

The ClueFinders series of educational games takes children through several years of development, so they can learn as they get older following the adventures of familiar characters. ClueFinders 3rd Grade Adventures is aimed at the youngest age group, and is suitable for children aged 7 to 9 years.

The game scenario is easy to follow. Dr. Pythagoras, the uncle of one of the ClueFinders, has disappeared from the rain forest. Animals are going missing, too. The young adventurers need to find the keys to an ancient city to work out what is going on, and to free Dr. Pythagoras. The keys are hidden in puzzles in two corners of the rain forest.

As our adventurers progress through the rain forest, they encounter these puzzles and more, which they must solve if they are to be successful. ClueFinders 3rd Grade Adventures teaches skills in math, logic, language arts, science, and geography, though it firmly wraps its educational content in these puzzles so you hardly notice that you are learning while you play.

There are four difficulty levels, and a document for parents explains how each of the puzzles works at each difficulty level. As an added bonus, a second CD, the Adventure Kit, provides a range of additional software, including a kit for setting up your own friends" adventuring club. --Sandra Vogel
