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!

The case for this software lists system requirements as: "Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP; Pentium 166 MHz or faster (300 MHz or faster for XP); 32 MB RAM (128 MB for XP); 127 MB free hard disk space; 8X or faster CD-ROM drive." Mac requirements are "OS 8.6-9.x; 180 MHz or faster processor; 32 MB RAM; 127 MB free hard disk space; 8X or faster CD-ROM drive"

I had to return because of system requirements. I wish sellers would list requirements accurately from the case, so it's not such a guessing game.

Hi well to start My Mom got this for me and I got excited cause it had Lestlie in it and they never make any games with her in it. I allways wondered why and this game told me. You can barely understand what she and Owan are saying and the game is really easy once you get the hang of it some games more then others. But the plot is less then amusing and the cluefinders are constantly bugging you to hurry up and it's really distracting.Well gotta go hope this was helpful Broke.

This is 6th grade game cluefinders, it is based on logic and math. I help my
daughter with it, and guess what, i have been unable to answer some of the
problems. It is not easy but very challenging. We enjoy this product.
