I spent much of my summer going into fourth grade playing the fourth grade Cluefinders. I remembered it as fun and educational. The plot was concise and engaging, and the difficulty level seemed appropriate. My younger sister is entering sixth grade this year, so I decided to buy her the Cluefinders, hoping she would enjoy it as much as I had enjoyed the fourth grade Cluefinders. However, this Cluefinders episode is poorly developed. Playing through it, I discovered I was left out of parts of the story because I used the map as a shortcut between places. I am in calculus, and I even struggled with the math occasionally, finding it mildly challenging most of the times, which shows that the math is way beyond sixth grade level. The biggest flaw of all is that there is a glitch in the system, preventing anyone from finishing the game. I do not recommend this product to anyone, and I recommend that everyone find another way to prepare their child/younger sibling for sixth grade.

This edition for 6th grade is more challenging than the 4th or 5th grade versions, but still a good workout for the brain especially during the summer when school is out and kids like to "play" on the computer. My daughter couldn't stop "playing" the 4th grade version. The 5th and 6th were less fun and more work, so it wasn't as easy to get her to do it.

I love this series of cds for the kids. Starting out with 3rd grade and going up to about 7th grade in learning, the kids enjoy being a [part of the story and at the same time unraveling the mystery. My kids have gotten very good at numerous subjects just by playing these games. It's just too bad they stopped making the summer vacation workbooks and science lab kits to keep your kids learning during they're summer break from school, without leaving off the fun side. Great products!
