I SPY Treasure Hunt
I SPY Treasure Hunt by Scholastic takes
children on exciting and educational adventure to Smuggler's Cove that
is aimed at children between the ages of 6-10. I SPY Treasure hunt
features the following essential skills:
The installation of Treasure Hunt was a
breeze and once the CD was detected by the computer, it simply
auto-installed the program in a few minutes and was ready to be used.
Once we ran the program, we were greeted to an intuitive and easy to use
menu system that is simply powered by pointing and clicking. The title
itself is cleverly split into three sections that are all linked
together through puzzles. Once you discover each map from each section,
the pieces fit together to make a treasure map that kids will simply
adore.
The game reminds of me of one of those old adventure games (similar to
Myst) where the gamer must click on a variety of objects in order to
solve the puzzle. Although the puzzles are quite logical, the young
gamer must also learn a variety of different skills such as rhyming and
visual memory techniques that is not just fun but also educational at
the same time.
Each of the puzzles are also basically broken down into various
mini-games such as finding specific objects in the gaming environment or
learning how to rhyme, it's really a great and education software title.
The riddles in the game are brilliant and even though I'm way too old
then the recommended age, I did get stuck on a few of them but this is
what games like these are about, problem solving.
Graphically, I SPY Treasure Hunt is a visual treat on the PC and
features high resolution graphics with basic animation. Match that with
some professional sounds and voices and you have one great children's
title that I would recommend to all parents who wish to be fully
involved in their children's upbringing. Another great job by
Scholastic!
