1.0 out of 5 stars Don't give these people your money.

Product specs and requirements are not listed. DO....NOT....BUY....THIS...GAME. That is, unless you have a computer that happens to have Windows 98 on it(we all know it's faster and more efficient). Seller is most likely sitting on some gigantic cache of these old games and intentionally leaving out requirements in order to trick people into buying them. On the upside, they make wonderful coasters. You can also use fishing line and thumbtacks to attach them to the ceiling and make neat little sun catcher thingies. Just don't expect to be able to play the game that you paid for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elementary Kids Love It!
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2001
I am a computer lab teacher in an elementary school. Last year, I used this software for quite a few weeks when my Kindergarten through Grade 3 students came in for activity period. Students in grades 4-6 would beg to get a chance to use the software when their assignment for the day was completed.
It was a stretch for Kindergarten to find some of the items, because they did not recognize some of the items in the riddles, but I made sure to point these out in lessons and then circulated to help them more.
It was exciting to watch as students became absorbed in this activity, and most of them grew in their visual and verbal awareness. Children in grades 1-3 could either click to hear the descriptions or read for themselves.
Yes, it is on the shelf this year, but will taken out to be used in two years. This year I bought I Spy Spooky Mansion for use, and next year hope to get the Î Spy Treasure software if I can find the funding.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Windows XP Compatible
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2006
I just tossed this one in the trash. It looked like a good game for my girls but unfortunately Scholastic doesn't believe in updating or supporting their products. I'd be very leary of buying any software from this company since software returns are difficult to negotiate. I would appreciate a list of truly Windows XP compatible children's software titles. Windows XP has been around for at least a couple of years now. I don't understand why compatibility is such a problem. Their support site cites that the problem is "you have too much installed RAM." Well, for most software, that is not a "bad" thing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid at all costs
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2006
I agree with the reviewer who urges you to stay away from this and other Scholastic products if you run Windows XP. I received School Days and Spooky Mansion today but can't get either to run on XP, even though I am generally quite adept at working with computers. I will never buy another product from this company, even if it works well on XP. These products say they work with "Windows 95, 98, 2000 or later." Don't believe it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game that is educational too!
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2007
My 4 year old loves this game and I don't feel bad if she sits and does it for a while because it is educational as well. I was worried that it may be too hard for her since she is under the recommended age but she has not had a problem with it at all. In fact, she has discovered things on it that we didn't even know about.
