Fantastic
I got this pc game when my grandson was 3. He is now almost 6 and he still digs it out when he comes over. His 3 year old sister now enjoys it too. Of course she needs help but she loves the mermaid adventure and the princess adventure. I also have I Spy Spooky Mansion and they love that one too. I even find the games fun to play. My 10 year old granddaughter enjoys them, as well. This is great quality time for parents or grandparents and I highly recommend it. I am looking into buying more Scholastic CD games (maybe, Math Mission) as they are very educational. Money well spent!

My preschoolers love it!
My daughters are 4.5 & 2.5 yrs. They play this game together. They needed some assistance in the beginning but quickly caught on. My older child navigates thru the rooms very well. My younger child is able to point out objects and is learning mouse skills! They do very well as a team.

Each screen has a box of text with the objects to be found. There is an 'ear' to click on if your child isn't able to read that will read the entire list of items, or you can click on each item individually to hear it what it is. The items change colors when they are found, so that you can see which ones are still left to find. Every now and then my girls require assistance finding a few items, and there's been quite a few times I wished there was a hint button because I couldn't find the item, lol. BTW, there is NOT a hint button. The game saves itself so you can stop mid-game and come back another day to play.

My age range for this is 4.5 yrs (depending on your childs skills) up thru elementary school. I enjoyed it as an adult, but went thru it quickly. There are 3 difficulty levels to each game.
