Learning CAN Be FUN

As an educator I want to find engaging activities that require students to think. I asked my 10-year-old daughter to play this game, she enjoyed her experience and as we reflected on what she learned we had a great conversation on what constitutes reliable information. That is an important life lesson in today's world of mass media for a fifth grader.

its good

I updated my review after playing awhile longer, decided I should give it more time I tend to be impatient with games. After playing through the first 2 scenarios I enjoyed it.

The Detective:Verona

It is a good game, interesting and educational. Is quirky and sometimes funny. Cool references to Romeo and Juliet, nice art. You probably need to be over ten to really take advantage of the information literacy content. A good game to start kids evaluating the infmration they recieve over the internet and all sorts of media.
