Summary: Fun game, great graphics
Review: In the typical I Spy tradition, comes a game with great visuals, that encourages kids to develop their logic and attentiveness. The game consists of three separate riddles. Each of these requires the players to visist different locations and spy several objects. Once this challenge is compelted at each location, the player gets a piece of a map. After visiting all locations, the map is composed and givesd you more clues on where to find the treasure.

The game is really fun. My 4 year old enjoyed finding the objects and putting the maps together with very little help. The graphics are very detailed and alaive.

My only problem with this game is that it has a glitch in the sound. The voice over reading of the riddles is cut off one or two words before the end. This should not be a problem for older kids, but for a 4-5 year olds that cannot read might be a problem.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good for kids and Adults
Review: Let's face it... most children's software gets boring after awhile, especially for the adults who have to help. This one does not....I bought this for my five year old daughter three months ago, and she is still playing it. What is interesting is that a week after we purchased the game, her father and I stayed up until 2am looking for items we had trouble finding while attempting to help her.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly Recommended...This game is terrific!
Review: My 4 year old son already had several of the I Spy Books and this game is perfect for him even though the box says ages 6-10. It will provide hours and hours of fun! Great for all ages...My husband and I also enjoyed the games!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My son loves this game and it builds learning skills!
Review: My 5 year old son, Cameron loves this game. He received it for Christmas and has played with it almost daily, since. I love that it allows him to have fun independently while building his math and reading skills. It is a real confidence booster to him when he finds all the map pieces and gets to seach for the treasure. We'll be buying more of these for his birthday.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun Again and Again
Review: My 6 year old son got this for his birthday and it is the only computer game that he keeps coming back to. Its challenging, but not so much that kids give up. There are a list of items to spy...I like that you can read the list or, if you are an early reader, listen to the "speaker" tell you what to look for. It gives kids a little more independence. Nothing bad to say about this game. We really enjoyed it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My daughter won't stop playing
Review: My 7-year old got this for her birthday, and she raced through the first two treasure hunts in less than 24 hours. She'd start the third hunt but I forced her to take a break! The puzzles are just the right degree of difficulty. She can complete most of them on her own; only a few require more experienced eyes. Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly Recommended
Review: My 8 year old grandson loves this game. The only problem is prying him away from the computer when he is playing it. He has numerous other software games (Backyard everthing), but enjoys this the most.

This game will have your child reading, reasoning through clues, and learning new words (for common things like anchor, thimble, etc.). All that and fun too.

Sometimes it takes a second pair of eyes to find an item, so you may be asked to play along. You may find your child is better than you at thinking outside the box.

The game designers were very creative. The game does not wear out as quickly as some computer games, because after all of the clues are gathered and the treasure is found, there are new games with new clues, and new ways to find a new treasure in a new location. The locations for the clues repeat (Inn, Island, Fort, etc.), but each new game is different. My grandson has played for hours on end, locating new clues, and working through the new puzzle to get to the treasure.

We also have I Spy Haunted Mansion, but I recommend this one because of its variety, rich graphics, and creative puzzles.

Note: We are running this on XP with a 2.2 gigahertz processor and 512 meg of RAM with no issues.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Can't finish the map!
Review: My children, ages 7, enjoyed the Spooky Mansion much better. There seemed to be an easier navigation than the Treasure Hunt. They were also raised to like monsters and such so the Spooky Mansion fit right in. I rated this 4 stars because of the harder task of navigating. I do like that it is just like the books which I am a huge fan of. Overall, it's fun and great in teaching kids to read and understand what they are reading.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Addictive Entertainment
Review: My husband and I bought this for my step-daughter, and both played it through before we ever gave it to her! It is great fun--just like the books, and we're all three addicted to those too!

Part of the fun is the animations--it is obvious that they've put a lot of work into this game. We can't wait to get the others!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Game
Review: My husband bought this for my daughter after he had gone on a trip. I was very skeptical at first, but my 6 year old daugher absolutely loves this game. She will spend hours in front of the computer looking for anchors and treasures. In this game, the player gets to put together a treasure map each time they complete a riddle. My daugher is so excited to see what the treasure map says. This is definately worth your time and money.
