This package contains the travel edition of the Brain Quest trivia cards in addition to a multi-subject CD-ROM version. Kids in fifth grade answer questions revolving around school subjects like math, reading and science. The electronic version extends the life of the traditional hard copy game by giving kids three question sets instead of just one. Friends and siblings will particularly like the multiplayer and tournament modes. On the whole, the CD is enjoyable and easy to use but does have its weaknesses. Games are saved but there's no record of the questions kids miss. Also, while the program provides direct access to World Book Online, substantive help for answers is absent.
Teaches: math, reading, science, social studies
