I bought this game for my 6 year old. She played it once and thought that it was "O.K.". I don't believe that she's gone back to it yet
Description of Cluefinders: The Incredible Toy Store Adventure
It's a maze of mystery in the ultimate toy store! Embark on a wild toy store adventure where your problem-solving skills will make a big difference in solving this shrunken mystery! Features exciting activities and much more!Saving San Francisco from a powerful shrink-ray is the order of the day for Owen, Joni, Santiago, and Leslie in Cluefinders: The Incredible Toystore Adventure, an educational role-playing game for third- and fourth-grade students. When two of the Cluefinders themselves are shrunk, they are beset by mice, spiders, and other suddenly giant monsters as they try to assemble the parts necessary to build a machine that will reverse the process. Meanwhile, the other members of the team must work out who built the malevolent device...and why?
The Incredible Toystore Adventure has a better mix of story and educational content than most games of its type, offering smart, resourceful characters and a mystery engaging enough to make the study component worthwhile. And make no mistake--this game drives young players hard. Wide-ranging drills in math, language arts, science, and other academic subjects are presented in a cheerful and interesting fashion. Drills come with four levels of difficulty and, if players want to build the anti-shrinking device, cannot be skipped.
This game also comes with a bonus CD containing an entirely separate game: Mystery of the Missing Amulet. This game carries the detectives across the galaxy on a quest to save a dying planet. Where The Incredible Toystore Adventure has a generalized focus on many areas of academic development, this second game is more narrowly focused, offering a tough workout for a child's language skills.
All in all, Cluefinders: The Incredible Toystore Adventure is a pleasant surprise--an educational game that can meet the high expectations of both parents and young players. (Ages 7 to 10) --Alyx Dellamonica
Being trapped in a toy store isn't all fun and games for the ClueFinders. When Owen and Joni suddenly find themselves shrunk down to only 3 inches tall, Santiago and Leslie have to search the toy store for clues before the entire city of San Francisco is zapped by a mysterious shrinking ray. Your job is to use your skills in math, language arts, and geography to help the ClueFinders work their way through six action-packed activity stations and five fun ClueSpots. With four levels of difficulty, new challenges will keep you coming back for more. There are wild toy store activities like the Taxi Bug Express and a daring Escape from Alcatraz. If you get stumped, turn to the detailed help feature to work through the trickier challenges. And mark every milestone with a motivating progress report.
This title also includes a second bonus ClueFinders CD-ROM, The Mystery of the Missing Amulet (previously released as ClueFinders Reading Adventures). Join the ClueFinders as they travel across the galaxy to rescue the planet Millenia from the grasp of Sorceress Malicia in a fun-filled learning adventure. You will explore 10 exciting, interactive activities, and build skills in more than 25 areas, including reading comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, grammar, and critical thinking.
