Editorial Review:Product Description:Plunge into an island adventure with the ClueFinders! When a sudden tsunami shipwrecks the savvy sleuths on an uncharted volcanic island, they need your help to solve a mystery and escape before the volcano blows.
Amazon.com Review:ClueFinders 5th Grade Adventures is designed to make learning fun by presenting a series of educational activities wrapped up in an adventure game. Suitable for ages 9 to 11 years, this adventure finds the heroes washed ashore on an uncharted volcanic island by a tsunami. When they awaken on the island, they find that two of the ClueFinders have disappeared along with Grandpa. You have to help the remaining ClueFinders unravel the mysteries of the island and rescue their lost friends before a volcano blows.
The mysteries are very varied, and getting to the bottom of them requires skills in math, language, science, and problem solving. There are more than 86 skills covered in all, across 16 interactive activities. You are plunged in right away by the need to devise a way across a river using variously marked stones to create a bridge. Thinking caps definitely need to be on to solve this, and the other puzzles in the game.
There are four difficulty levels, and parents can use these to ensure the game matches the abilities of their children.
ClueFinders 5th Grade Adventures is a challenging but fun game, and you'll learn without even knowing it. As a bonus, there is an Adventure Kit CD offering various fun activities, such as a code maker for sharing secret messages.

ClueFinders 5th grade
The kids love this game, from 2nd to 8th graders and they learn a whole lot of history through it. The graphics and general quality of the game is also good. I would recommend it for any child who can read fluently and has basic computer skills.

Don't buy from this company
If you have to order this software, don't buy it through cyberdeals. The software arrived in a flimsy bubblewrap envelope. The box is damaged. What a nice thing to do one week before Christmas. I'm not sure what I paid to have this item shipped, but I was ripped off big time. Thanks for making them one of your dealers.

The ClueFinder's always produce exellent computer games that help you learn. I recommend any ClueFinders' game that there is. Some of the other games are ClueFinder's 6th grade adventure, ClueFinders' Math and Reading, and the ClueFinders' 5th grade adventure. All the games are fun, intresting, and they are easy. They teach different games and help you learn.
