Amazon.co.uk
ClueFinders 6th Grade Adventures is a great way for children aged 10 to 12 years to consolidate their school learning while having fun. In this game, the ClueFinders are in an underground world populated by a mutant plant army that is planning to destroy the town above them. To make matters worse, two of the ClueFinders have been kidnapped: to stop the plants and rescue their friends, the remaining two ClueFinders have some problems to solve. The puzzles in this adventure game give math, language, science, and problem-solving skills a workout through 15 different activities. Parents can set the skill levels to suit their children's ability, and can do this separately for different skills. As a bonus, ClueFinders 6th Grade Adventures comes with an Adventure Kit CD offering various fun activities, such as a map maker so you can plot treasure hunts or other map-based activities. --Sandra Vogel

 Frustrating! August 7, 2005

I purchased this for my child directly from her school. Initially, she was enjoying the game. But for one math section "Recipe for Disaster", it employs a "trial and error" method for solving problems, our whole family spent nearly an hour with calculators, and algebraic formulas to try to determine these amounts.
Example: You have to get exactly 1.451 ml of fluid. You have 4 cups measuring: 0.668, 0.577, 0.140, and 0.035. It is up to your child to determine which cups to use. It is all really just trial and error.
In short, this part of the game is only serving to foster my child's thought that she can't "Get" math. It is frustrating for her, and she dreads having to play the game. I am frustrated because it's difficult for her father and I as well. Whatever happened to learning to basics? I am very disappointed in this section of the game.
