ClueFinders 5th Grade Adventures is designed to make learning fun by presenting a series of educational activities wrapped up in an adventure game. Suitable for ages 9 to 11 years, this adventure finds the heroes washed ashore on an uncharted volcanic island by a tsunami. When they awaken on the island, they find that two of the ClueFinders have disappeared along with Grandpa. You have to help the remaining ClueFinders unravel the mysteries of the island and rescue their lost friends before a volcano blows.

The mysteries are very varied, and getting to the bottom of them requires skills in math, language, science, and problem solving. There are more than 86 skills covered in all, across 16 interactive activities. You are plunged in right away by the need to devise a way across a river using variously marked stones to create a bridge. Thinking caps definitely need to be on to solve this, and the other puzzles in the game.

There are four difficulty levels, and parents can use these to ensure the game matches the abilities of their children. ClueFinders 5th Grade Adventures is a challenging but fun game, and you'll learn without even knowing it. As a bonus, there is an Adventure Kit CD offering various fun activities, such as a code maker for sharing secret messages. --Sandra Vogel For Ages 9-11+ "Uncover hidden secrets of an uncharted island.
