This is a good software for the kids, but was not developed to sustain their excitement.
After the first few days, my kids became bored with it especially after they solved the entire puzzle.
My suggestion is that software such as these, should be written in a format to enable the kids start afresh at the end of the puzzle.

This is another solid entry in the ClueFinders line. I've used these titles with 3 kids so far, and we all love them. They strike a great balance - making the kids practice the skills they're learning in school, but in a fun way that they look forward to.The format is really well thought-out. The mystery-adventure storyline draws the kids forward, the animation is good, and there are occasional extra "flourishes" (songs, jokes). The ancillary features (hints, auto-leveling) work well.
