5.0 out of 5 stars Cluefinder's FTW
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2013
This is my favorite Cluefinder's game. Throughout the game you go through a monkey kingdom, ring of fire, goo/slime area, lost kingdom, temple... As a child, and it might have been because of my age, I had no idea it was teaching me anything. The great thing about all these old Cluefinder's games are that they hold up - graphically, story-wise, educational value-wise. My mother would always buy these games for me the summer before the actual grade of the game, and I always remember that it was a great way to spend a few hours every few times. I think these games are part of the reason that I love school so much. Great Buy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not happy with a newer computer
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2009
We had to bust an older PC out of storage to get this game to run without crashing. It just doesn't seem to like newer hardware, however OS seemed to make no difference. We tried it on 3 different computers before we gave in and got out the old one. It loads, it starts, it gets a few minutes in to the game, then it goes down on all the new machines we tried it on. As long as you are running a system about 4 years old or more, you should be fine (which really means most PC's that younger kids are allowed to use will work). Once you get it working, it's a great game, my kids even play it for fun. We hooked the old PC up to our TV, so all 3 of our younger kids can watch each other play, and the competition inspires them to pay more attention to how problems are solved. It's good for logical thinking as well as math. Worth the cost, for sure.

1.0 out of 5 stars does not work on OSX

There are two discs in the package. One does not work on OSX at all. The other disc says that it will work on OSX. My laptop running the lastest OSX software though was unable to run it as well. A total waste of money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice learning game

Fun learning game. My niece likes playing the game. She's putting to use the things she's learning in school and having fun at the same time. Some of the math problems can be a bit challenging for her. Overall she likes playing it and I like that she's learning from it too. No issues with loading or playing the game either, it's on XP.

My daughter wanted this because we used to have it and she remembered how much fun it was around here to play, not sure what happened ot the copy we had but we found another on amazon and the seller got it to us good and fast so glad when it came and its been a fun old game for my daughter to play still had its value after all the years gone by. Bravo!

3.0 out of 5 stars Parents liked it, kids not so much
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2010
We thought this was a well-written game, fun but educational. But our kids just didn't get into it at all. They much preferred the Jump Start series instead. If you were going to get this one, I'd start with this, THEN get Jump Start. Maybe then this would be more interesting to them for a while.

1.0 out of 5 stars Be forewarned!

Be Careful! The Learning Company Mac compatible Cluefinders 3rd Grade does NOT WORK on OSX. We even scrolled back to our 9.6 program from the dark ages and it doesn't work there, either. It's very out-dated. Too bad, as it came so highly recommended.
