Takes a while to get into it

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2005

My 4.5 year old was intimidated by a lot of the activities but he really wanted to get to the birthday party so he kept at it, much to my surprise. The games are very educational and quite difficult. A parent's guidance is definitely needed for at least the first few repetitions of each activity.

I thought that the payoff came after too many repetitions, though. You have to do all 6 activities, 24 times each to get to the birthday party. It took us weeks of playing to finish. Many kids would give up long before then. When we finally got to the birthday party, I found it to be extremely anti-climactic, although my son didn't seem to think so. Also, I couldn't believe the incredible progress he had made by the end of the game.

Too confusing for 4 years olds!

I had always heard great things about Reader Rabbit software but I was very disappointed in this one! My four year old got frustrated after 5 minutes and gave up. She found the instructions to be too difficult to understand because they were very detailed and spoken too quickly. The premise is that you're supposed to gather items for a surprise party. You need to obtain a specific amount of each item and it goes into an empty room once you gather enough for the party. You need to go to different areas to make cookies, wrapping paper etc. I don't know how a four year old could do this without adult supervision. This software will sit on the shelf until my daughter gets older. Hopefully then she'll enjoy it.

Not another boring computer game

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2000

The questions I ponder when I buy a computer game are: Will the kids like it? Will the graphics be good? Will the kids want to play it over and over? Is it educational? As we all know we don't get to try before we buy so we end up with a stack of games that the kids don't want to play. However, this one is a winner. My kids love it, the graphics are great, they always want to play this game, and it's educational. The main theme is that it Sam's birthday and his friends are throwing him a surprize birthday party. The player of the game has to help make cookies, design banners and wrapping paper, wrap presents, it just goes on and on. You will not waste your money.

The Rabbit Rules

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2001

My daughter received Thinking Adventures on Saturday afternoon and we installed it shortly thereafter. For the next three days she spent at least three hours at a time finding the various party items. The program is one of the best I have seen for children. It takes something special to keep a 5 year old glued to a computer for that amount of time and you've found it!! Thanks!
