With brain-teasing graphics and puzzling riddles to solve, this spooky
addition to the I Spy series will keep elementary-age students occupied
for hours at a time. A skeleton host rewards players with a secret
message puzzle piece upon successful completion of each riddle. Those
clever enough to collect all the pieces can solve the bigger fun house
mystery. With ten different rooms ranging from an inventor's laboratory to a
library--and text that is written entirely in rhyme--the world created
here is utterly absorbing. No matter how many times you explore a room,
there's always new details and creepy clickables you hadn't seen before.
Particularly well done is the attic, where you can explore in the dark
with only a flashlight to light your way. In the study, you can even
create your own riddles to send to your printer!
This software concentrates on critical-thinking skills,
problem-solving abilities, and acute observational techniques that are
centered around a mansion. This software takes a well-loved series to a
whole new level--it's perfect for the die-hard fan or as the first
member of what we're sure will become a large I Spy collection. --Jill
