these are fun to play and yet they are using the things they are learning in school

Hello, I am Russian Blue Witch. This product tells of how the CLuefinder end up on another planet, have to stop a wicked person named Malicia, and learn about reading on the way. This was my first CLuefinders game, and it was lucky I loved the plot or else I wouldn't have even bothered with the rest of the series. This is easily the worst in the series, with games that are hard to follow. There is one crossword puzzle game, for example, that gives you the worst possible definitions and expects you to find what their talking about. Another game expects you to move your mouse underneath both the ball and the correct answer. Yet another has you identify in ten seconds (Soon it will be less!) If it's an adverb or preposition, and then is it the main verb or the secondary verb? The final game, worst of all, takes a million years. You type in some random letters, hoping to guess the secret password. This last game is a bit easier if you write down all the letters of the alphabet and cross them off as you go- other wise you usually get real confused. I'm exagerating- as long as you already know a lot about reading, you'll be fine. And the plot is good enough to make up for most of it. Still, you might be better off with another Cluefinders game, like Cluefinders toy store adventure, or one of their 'grade' games- that is, third through sixth grade. If you can get it cheep, though, go ahead.

And that's all I have to say.

Russian Blue Witch (RBW)

This product is labeled for ages 9 - 12 years old, but is very juvenile. It would appeal to children in kindergarten, but definitely not ages 9 - 12. There were also some glitches in the product that made it lock up.

My kids love this game and fight over the computer to play it.Nor do they know how much they are geting from the game.
