This game deserves ten thumbs! ( if you have ten thumbs that
Ok ok I can't really say I've had the pleasure of buying this game (frankly I think it's a bit over priced ) but I can say I've purchased Knowledge Adventure's previous merchandise before it has always had complete satifactory. I've bought a few of there items in the past and they were very educational and benifitial .Knowledge Adventure trys to make there software educational and fun . That's what's important right? You wanna teach your children and help them to learn yet try to catch there attention with something at a children's level. This spy idea sure did catch MY attention ! I think it's one of the best ways to teach children instead of forcing facts in to there heads with telvision shows all the time and work books. In conclusion I'd like to say this item sounds like a good way of teaching your children langauge , math facts and so on . Go ahead and buy it!

great game
This game was challenging even though I'm a strait "A" student in 8th grade I learned alot from it. If you want to learn or your parents want you to buy a fun educational game this is the one. ... Read more

The Best of Addition/Subtraction Math Software
This is a GREAT program. The main screen allows 1 or 2 players, play against the clock, challenge another player, or practice one set at a time (0s, 1s, 2s, etc.). The second screen is a Magic Square (table)from 0 to 12 to help the student find the correct answer, and posts the math family group in upper right-hand corner that will repeat back the equation clicked on. It can be used to solve a problem on the main screen, or as an exercise in itself. It has rewards after each set is successfully completed, it keeps track of progress, and can adjust the difficulty of the problems. In a word, Fantastic! My kid loves it, too! ... Read more

Those wacky monsters from Awesome Animated Monster Maker Math need your help! The Blobblers have stolen the monsters' monsterpieces from Creepy Castle, and it's up to you to find their hideout and liberate the stolen picture. Along the way, you will help rebuild the Crumblers, who keep having their body parts scattered by the mischievous Blobblers. The adventure starts in Creepy Castle, where the monsters discover their monsterpiece has been taken, and decide to build a hero with monster parts to catch the Blobblers.

There are five different activities that can be played many times during the course of the game. You must catch the matching number/shape in Number Drop, choose the correct coordinates in the navigation activity, and assign the correct parts according to certain rules in the logic game. In the recipe section, you will weigh, measure, and set the timer/temperature gauges. The hero-building activity's directions must be followed to build a hero. There are six grade levels that you can customize to fit each child, and the program will give the player the option to adjust to a higher level if they answer all the questions correctly in an activity. ...

A good value for the money
My daughter enjoyed this program. She learned a lot of different words. The animations are clever and she enjoyed completing the spaceship to get Quixel home.
This is a good program to build a foreign language vocabulary.

Beware!
I thought this would be good for my students until I tried it out myself. First I tried the Italian. When I discovered that they translated "potato chips" as "microchips", I was surprised. In telling time, they expressed the correct feminine plural but displayed the incorrect masculine singular "il due" for 2:00. Now for the French...I learned that "potato chips" were "eclats" as in "paint chips". Wrong chips both times folks - and good luck in a restaurant! I stopped there. It's a shame they never got a native speaker to check it before releasing this as an educational item. They did get native speakers to read aloud the vocab lists however. That's the one-star part. ... Read more

Very mediocre
This inexpensive learning tool for children is extremely unembellished and unexciting. It is simple to use and might be a good tool for toddlers as young as two and a half. My son is three and has numerous better abc software applications. This one didn't hold his attention for very long. It has no music and very meager graphics.

This might be a good first abc program for a young toddler. Though the recommended age range is 3-5 years, I would say it is better for 2 1/2 to 4. You get what you pay for. This software doesn't cost much and it doesn't offer much. ... Read more

How did this get all those stars??
My daughter sat down to use this software and was immediately almost lost. I figured I would give it a whirl so maybe I could help her. Well, I found it basically unintelligible...and this is from someone north of forty who is fairly computer literate. I am donating this to some worthy cause........I am sorry it's too late to return it. I wouldn't give it any stars if the program allowed for that option!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep Looking
Graphics and sounds are simple and repetetive. The games are simple and not that interesting. The games become boring very quickly (even for a 6 year old). The levels do not adjust themselves to the player skills. The built in help is fairly good, but sometimes the audio playback didn't.

Great for the classroom and at home.
This is a great program for my classroom. My low students can use it successfully and my higher students are challenged. It is very easy to navigate. The graphics are entertaining for the students. There is math everywhere. The creators did a super job of using math and fun in a good combination. I don't like games that are 25% math and 75% game. This is 100% math with a great combination of entertainment. My 4 year old could do some of the easiest level and he enjoyed it. ... Read more
