Editorial Review:
Join Scooby-Doo and the gang in Egypt as they visit Velma's Egyptologist cousin, Thelma. While visiting the pyramids in Giza, they find Thelma is missing and a mysterious mummy is frightening all the tourists away. It's up to the gang to find Thelma and wrap up the mummy for good. Kids help Scooby-Doo and his friends by telling them what to do and who to talk to. Along the way, they'll encounter ghosts, puzzles, and hair-raising adventure.
Kids must solve more than 10 different puzzles and activities to solve each mystery. The adventure is never the same. The mystery changes each time you play, with new clues and a different villain and outcome. Turn up the gameplay and the challenge with three levels of difficulty: Spooky! for ages 5 and 6; Spookier! for ages 7 and 8; and Spooktacular! for ages 9 and 10. The game builds thinking and problem-solving skills by utilizing research skills, deductive reasoning, and logical analysis.
Scooby Doo and the gang arrive in Egypt to find that Thelma, Velma's cousin is missing! You'll have to uncover clues and eliminate suspects as you explore the ancient tombs and ruins.

Rating:  - our favorite of all the Scooby Doo Case Files
We borrowed several of the Scooby Doo Case File games from our local library. I was trying to decide whether to purchase them. My son is a HUGE Scooby fan, so I figured if the games are easy enough for a 3 year old and can hold his attention then I'd buy them.
First, the graphics and voices are true to the tv show, so this game really holds my son's attention. I like that there are 3 levels of difficulty. We stuck to the "spooky" (easy) level.

Rating: - Good, clean fun and the kids like it too!
We have had the Jinx at the Sphinx for a year now. My 6 and 8 yr old sons both still enjoy it! There is some learning, a mystery to solve, and three levels of challenge to choose from, so the game grows with your child. I'm very pleased with it, and I am going to buy another Learning Company Scooby Doo game as soon as I'm done writing this review!Scooby-Doo: Jinx at the Sphinx
Rating:  - Okay, but won't keep attention for long
You get what you pay for....my kids enjoyed this and played it constantly for 2 weeks. Then they went back to Reader Rabbit which they have enjoyed for months.
Rating:  - Thank goodness it was a gift!
I wouldn't buy this for my kids. Thankfully it was a gift for my 8-year old daughter. She tried to play it on her own at first and couldn't really figure out what to do, I guess she didn't read or listen to the instructions. The instruction file was enormous and complicated to follow for the specified age group. I played it on my own later to see what in fact this was all about. I solved the mystery and actually enjoyed myself, then my daughters(4&8) played it and the mystery was exactly the same ... Read More
Rating: - Not as good as I suspected.
This game is rather easy an does not contain many challenges for my 4-year old. The game was very easy to complete. The game becomes boring rather quickly at times because you had to keep going back and forth from place to place to solve the game. Sometimes you get stuck and am not sure where to go next until you explore some of the places again because the scenes change as the game progresses. The game has excellent graphics and sound but a mediocre story. The game needed more action.
