ClueFinders Search & Solve Adventures
Uncover the mystery at the amusement park! There’s something suspicious
in the dark night sky . . . flashing lights from an old, abandoned amusement
park. Join the ClueFinders as they venture into a haunted carnival on a mystery-solving
quest. But watch out; you’ll need all the nerve, wits, and problem-solving
smarts you can muster to crack this creepy case! The engaging ClueFinders are
hot on the trail of yet another mystery, this time in an abandoned amusement
park. Apparently, someone's been tinkering around with the robots that were
the theme of the park, and it's up to the ClueFinders to discover why.
While searching the park, Joni and Owen will play 4 main critical thinking games
that focus on patterns, visual analogies, written clues, etc., to earn keys
to help advance the game. When players earn 4 complete keys, they will use them
to power up the park, then go back to earn 4 more to enter the Haunted House
Maze and rescue Leslie and Santiago, who are trapped. Then it's off to the final
2 challenges!
Features:
- 9 critical thinking activities (includes a short puzzle in beginning)
- Activities can be played in adventure mode, or in practice mode
- 4 difficulty levels
- Auto leveling
- Progress tracking

ClueFinders Mystery Mansion Arcade
It’s late at night and the ClueFinders are responding to a message from
Joni’s Uncle Horace. They approach a mysterious, sinister-looking house.
Joni is eager to go inside, but the other ClueFinders think that the message
might be a fake, sent to fool them. And LapTrap, of course, is scared to death.
The house has a high-tech "command center," with a large table and
video monitors along the wall. Seated at the table are four villains from previous
ClueFinders adventures - Fletcher Limburger, Alistair Loveless, Pericles Lear,
and Ms. Rose. An unknown person sits at the center of the table, identity obscured
- the mastermind of the entire affair. This person has asked the other villains
to do what no one else has been able to do: trap the ClueFinders once and for
all.
You must guide Owen, Santiago, and Leslie through their arcade traps, collect
special "powers," and then help Joni. Joni cannot complete her multi-player
arcade trap until all the ClueFinders are together. This final arcade game is
long and challenging, and if Owen, Leslie, or Santiago run out of special powers,
they must go back to their own arcade games to get more. Can you help the ClueFinders
escape from their arcade traps and reveal the identity of the mastermind?
