Join Jo Hammet, kid detective as she captures Dr x. before Hooverville is destroyed. Put on your thinking, playing and excitement caps! You will play a crossword (Geography and arts) at Hooverville Museum then you will proceed to the station to pick a math lock (Math) and get in , to eavesdrop on a fill-in-the-blanks speech by henchmen of Dr. x! Skate over (you will control Jo's skateboard and run away from the henchmen, if you get caught by them, you will go to jail. You will sequence the boxes with the biggest under and escape from the window! It's math skills you require here.) to Bertie's Juice bar to work on fractions and prepare sodas to get stuff from Bertie. Go over to Jimmy's Junkyard and arrange the tangram like the picture above and get something you need to disarm the bomb Dr x is preparing. Then it's over to Maggie Mead's underground artifact place! Be careful of the rolling stones. You have got to buy this CD! It's educational too! I have it, IT'S COOL...

My boys don't even feel like ey are learning (working) it feels more like a video game. I bought a G4book and they play this learning game in the car, or camping. It takes the struggle out of summer schooling.

my son and daughter love this game

I bought this for my Great Nephew who will be entering the 5th Grade in September. This program will give him a solid basis for mastery of the skills he will need to succeed. I am a retired Elementary/Early Childhood Educator.

Great to be able to buy at Amazon. We always bought these C.D.'s for our children and now for our grandchildren. They are very hard to find but keeps our grandson busy for hours and he is always learning.

This version of program runs on WinXP BUT WILL NOT RUN on Win98se. Haven't played much yet. Will give update later.

I had this product as a kid, back in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Our fourth grade teacher had both this and the 4th grade version, both of which were very well received and challenging. This one was memorable in that its art history puzzles were challenging and forced us to work together. My classmates and I took shifts; whoever finished their work first would spend 15-30 minutes browsing through the virtual art gallery, reading the painting descriptions for crossword answers. Because there was so much to read, we wrote down the clues on the harder levels so we could better match them to the paintings. We were 10 at the time. We finished the game before the year ended. This is definitely not a game of instant gratification, but children who enjoy puzzles would find it rewarding.

I have bought many of these jump start CD's and I am never displeased. This is a really great way to keep your child on track with their education while playing games. These are the best.
