Few Math problems that can be solved by trial and error 
2004-07-09
In this game the two characters travel down a trail that takes them to places where they have to solve "ONE" math problem. Therefore, children playing this game don't get much practice and do not learn anything. Even worse, you can solve this multple choice problem by trial and error and then proceed down the trail to the next math problem. My four year old that does not know any math is able to complete the game just by trying every answer at every math station. My two daughters do like this game, but it does not teach them any math. The Jump Start Math for Second Graders is actually much more challenging. There at every stage chidren have to solve many problems and sometimes they have little time to do this.
Excellent and challenging for a 3rd grader

Cluefinders 3rd grade is terrific. It has provided hours of fun for my daughter and her friends. I like to play it with her, too. I'd highly recommend it.

I've played a lot of different educational games and this one is the best so far! I'm seven and love it. I especially like the geography. I like the story and the graphics too. It's easy to understand and also challenging.

Even though I'm getting a little too old,my like of this game is high.It gets scarier and better the farther you go,and it is very fun.I suggest that it is a good way to learn and have fun at the same time.

Great learning game! 2008-01-08
My children loved the adventure game so much that they were willing to do the math required to solve the puzzles. It made a great review for them to use over the summer.
They even wanted to play the game again after finishing it the first time.
ClueFinders 3rd Grade Review 2006-11-30
This is a great game and one that keeps coming out to be played again and again by both my 8 year old and my 6 year old. An excellent combination of fun and education built around a modern, engaging story. It builds on language, math and problem solving skills and isn't just about how fast you can push buttons on the keyboard. My kids also love the Mia games by Kutoka and the I Spy games by Riverhillsoft Inc.
ClueFinders 3rd Grade is great 2006-03-24
My 1st grade son loves this product. He is not only having fun with it, but also learning. Great product!
TERRRIFIC! 2006-03-02
Our 4 year old LOVES this!
He needs a lot of help doing this b/c you have to be in atleast 2nd grade to get it but he loves the adventure and is picking up some new skills along the way whereas he didn't really enjoy the Reader Rabbit series that much... it was too "babyish" for him.
A Kids Review 2005-12-01
I love this game. You are in the rainforest, with Santiago and Joni,when Joni's uncle gets kidnapped by Mathra,the island monster! You have to solve math problems, and gather info from the island monkeys. Santiago and Joni use Laptrap, Joni's uncle's flying robot, for a map of the island, for help on math problems, and for a profile of the team.
You have to cross the rings of fire and get to Mathra's layer.
You also have to weigh rocks to Medusa's evil pet snakes.
You can feed the island queen's pet monster by telling the queen the feeding day according to a message and a calendar.
Help find the exact money amounts and help the palace gard get his tail unstuck from the royal treasure chest.
Also, help one of the monkeys stop his house numbers from falling and breaking.
I had to play the game twice before I got it, but it was lots of fun anyway!
