Cluefinders 3rd Grade AdventuresAug 13, 2001
Our daughter's school recommended this program for children entering 3rd grade. My child and I spent all summer working on this together. It was great quality time for her and me. More importantly, it was something she looked forward to doing (which is a tall order for an 8-year old on summer vacation). It focused on sharpening thinking and problem solving skills. I was pleased with the simplicity of the graphics as it kept the computer speeding along and time was not wasted loading glitz and glitter. I can't recommend this enough to parents concerned with their child's education.

Mathra MysteryMar 13, 2002
By Rosanne My children all enjoyed this game. The puzzles are well designed and have a wide skill range and a wide variety. There are 22 different puzzles which cover a wide subject range. The only fault I could find was the fact that when you completed a puzzle you had to move to the next screen and then back again to be able to play it again, especially as you need to complete each puzzle two or three times. The other fault was that when you completed a game unless you started a new game immediately you would find the levels were set back at easy. It is an excellent game which the children enjoy, the highest levels are hard enough for an adult to enjoy, while younger children can cope well with the easy levels. Children do need to be able to read reasonably well to play.

Great ProductApr 27, 2002
By WKC Last week my son announced that he "hated" math. This week, his school sent this software home for summer use. My son's last words as I put him to bed tonight were "Can I play Cluefinders as soon as I get up in the morning?" AND he thinks the math section is the greatest! We've tried a variety of educational software over the past 4-5 years and I can't remember any that my sons have enjoyed more!! This is a keeper. I would highly recommend it!!!

GREAT! Best software we have triedDec 18, 2008
By R. Thomson
"scooner"
We bought several computer games recently with an emphasis on learning or educational software. This is the best game we have tried so far. VERY engaging for our 8 year old third grader. Activities are challenging and cause her to do some thinking, but not so hard she gets discouraged. She couldn't wait to finish the whole game. We rate this A++, but don't expect to get months of enjoyment out of it. Get it used at a good price because the whole game is finished in about 3 hours and after that there isn't much to do that is enjoyable. You have to solve a mystery, and do learning type tasks to solve the mystery, so that is great, but once you solve the case, it is all done, no more to do. Just keep that in mind. We LOVED it!

Fun and educationalFeb 10, 2010
By BookAddict This is wonderful software. I bought it for my 6-year old son (1st grade) and he absolutely loves it. He has even helped his 4-year old brother solve several of the games. Many of the math games are quite challenging, involving problem solving, and my son just thinks he's playing computer games. He loves it, and I feel great about it.
