Summary: Spook-tacular
Review: This game is fantastic! Even though I am a kid of over 40 years of age, I find this product fun and thought provoking. I would recommend it to anyone. Peg

Summary: A lot of Fun!
Review: This game was given to my son as a gift. Although it is directed towards older kids my two year old son loves it.

This is not something he can play by himself, he sits on my lap and I help him when it gets to be too hard (the thing he's looking for is too small or a play on words). However, he can usually find the items and that is what the fun is for him. I don't let him play on the computer too much so when he gets to it's a real treat. He particularly likes how it uses his name in the pictures, he can pick his name out a mile away.

I like that it really excercises the visual discrimination skills. Certainly this game also encourages reading, thinking, and pre reading skills.

Although I would not have bought it for a child so young, it seems to be ok for a short amount of time for my son. I have to admit though that I have really enjoyed it.

Summary: AWESOME!
Review: This is one fantastic CD...that I would not call a game, at least in the typical sense. I "worked" with my 6-year-old daughter, through the various rooms, and we were constantly challenged by the clues and really had to think to successfully think through the riddles. We spent a couple of hours as she would say "working as a team." Great product...stretch the thinking process...definitely a "recommend" for friends.

Summary: Spooky Mansion is awesome!
Review: This is one of the best computer games that my son has ever played. He can't get enough of it. He's just starting kindergarten, so many of the activities in the game reinforce what he is learning in school. Don't pass this game up! I actually enjoy playing it with him, and not many games suitable for his age can fit that claim.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best
Review: This was one of the best programs we have purchased. It provided hours of entertainment for both myself and my 6 year old. True once you are done you are done, but it also provided hours of family fun and reading practice.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great fun for adults, too!
Review: Two kids at heart played the whole way thru this game and loved it....it was a bit easy for us, but the effects were amusing and impressive. After we tape the box up and give it to our niece, we are going to order one to have here at the house for any big kids who come to visit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This game is so fun!
Review: We just love this game! I bought it for my 6 year old daughter and we play it together, but alot of the time I end up playing it alone because it is so much fun. The skeleton's dialog is clever and entertaining. Our favorite part of the game is where you can make up your own riddle puzzles then print them out. Boy I wish I had that job! What fun! There are hours of entertainment in this game folks! Try it for yourselves!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Misleading advertising
Review: We purchased this software for our daughters, ages 5 and 9, after enjoying the books. While the content is great, we were extremely disappointed that once you finish the game and exit the mansion that's it. The label on the package states " multi-leveled games encourage replayability". We assumed that meant when you completed the game you could begin again with new clues. WRONG! For thirty dollars I expect my child to be able to use the software again.
