Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

Based on the Blue's Clues TV show, this is a scavenger hunt game where children explore Blue's world to find presents, party hats, plates and other supplies needed for an upcoming birthday party. There are four adventures called pathways, each with a different set of clues and birthday items to find. It's fun but challenging, and kids may need help at times. There are a total of nine directed activities for which parents can set difficulty levels. These activities include matching objects and instrument sounds, making puzzles and fixing party favors. Kids can also make and print cards for Blue. Testers enjoyed the program, playing for hours at one time. Our two criticisms are minor. Kids have to get used to the cursor disappearing with each screen change. They often have to wiggle the mouse to find where the cursor is on the new screen. Also, the program ends when the three clues are found and the mystery is solved. Children accepted this but still wanted to go back to the unfinished aspects of each pathway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blue's Clues fans should really enjoy this!, January 28, 2000

This review is from: Blue's Birthday Adventure (CD-ROM)

My 2 year old son enjoys this game a great deal. It has a huge amount of content---with 4 complete Blue's Clues games. Along with that, there are little side games like finding noisemakers, drawing pictures, and completing puzzles. Some of those you have to hunt a bit for, but that's part of the fun! Steve is a big part of this game, which is nice, as a lot of Blue's Clue merchandise doesn't include him, and that always disappoints my boys---they are big Steve fans! I would say the age guidelines (ages 3-6) are just about right, but my 2 year old enjoys it anyway---just doesn't totally get how to hunt for clues. You can set the level of how hard you want it to be to find clues. Certainly worth the reasonable price!

4.0 out of 5 stars blue's birthday adventure, November 7, 2000

This review is from: Blue's Birthday Adventure (CD-ROM)

my three kids, ages 4,6,8 all liked this software. they liked playing the games before they got all the clues. there are lots of interesting click points. the birthday card activity was really neat. my only complaint is that going from one room to another is slow and some of the clues seem hard to find. overall all though, a good buy, wholesome and entertaining.

This review is from: Blue's Birthday Adventure (CD-ROM)

If your kids love Blue, they'll enjoy this as long as they are patient. Children who like things to move at 90 mph will be frustrated because it is painfully slow when it changes scenes. Having said that, it is still a great game. It is packaged with 2 CD's which make up 4 different games all ending at Blue's party. It helps to have a Mom or Dad around to help guide them through the things that they need to look for (the book will tell you what to look for.) Many clues are hiding behind something and kids need to solve a problem in order to get to the clue. The hints can be very subtle. It does not allow you to adjust the level of difficulty though so I would imagine that it may become boring faster than some others (too soon to tell.)
