Product Description
Amazon.com Review
After spending his summer helping on a dig in South America, Kevin of the TKKG gang is definitely excited about the museum opening that will showcase the treasures the archeologists found in Southern Mexico. The Mayan exhibition is scheduled to open in just a few days, and Kevin will be able to show his friends the treasures he unearthed over his holiday.
Unfortunately, someone else has taken an interest in the exhibit--by stealing two of its most priceless artifacts!
Mystery of the Mayan Treasure pits Tiger, Kevin, Katy, and Grunter against an unknown museum thief in a race to find the stolen Mayan masks. The two keys to solving the case are suspect interviews and simple observation. Each member of the TKKG gang can visit a variety of sites in London, such as the museum where the theft occurred, a local newsstand, and the offices of people associated with the crime. Within some of these scenes are clues that can be picked up, examined, and used at later points in gameplay. Players may also question the suspects. You can only choose to ask one question per visit, so listening carefully to the questions and selecting the right one is a must.
This TKKG mystery game is aimed at players starting at 8 years of age, and it is an excellent choice for story-oriented, patient players. This is not a program with lots of razzle-dazzle or arcade challenges. Methodical gathering of clues and rigorous logic will win the day for the TKKG gang and the museum.
Additionally, the game is not without educational content. On each visit to the museum, the kids encounter information about the ancient Mayan culture. Players learn about the foods grown by the Mayans, their system of hieroglyphics, architecture, and other tantalizing facts. This learning quotient, however, takes a backseat to the fun of solving the crime.
With straightforward, clean animations and a focus on the characters of the young detectives, TKKG unfolds an interactive mystery well worth exploring. --Alyx Dellamonica
Amazon.com Product Description
This globetrotting detective game will make you a Mayan expert. The priceless artifacts of a famous museum's Mayan exhibition have gone missing, and it's your job to help the kid-detective team TKKG (Tiger, Kevin, Katy, and Grunter) find them before it's too late. Have the masks gone to join the Carnival? Is there a curse on the mysterious jade heads of Hoonapooh? Is this a case of magic or simply dirty tricks?
The hunt for the thieves of the artifacts will take you around the world and into the rainforests of South America. There is an extra-challenging grand finale when you try to trap the criminals at the end of the game. This game encourages language and problem-solving skills, and promotes awareness of the ancient Mayan civilization. Play in English or German.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great children's game!,
This review is from: TKKG: Mystery of the Mayan Treasure (Video Game)
This series of games is very fun. It involves exploring different locations and interrogating animated witnesses/suspects/victims. It plays like a graphical adventure and many times you will need to click around the screen for clues in order to advance the story. The plot is excellent as is the voice acting. This is a great game for kids as well as young adults. Highly recommended.
