Product Description

I Spy Treasure Hunt is a great new game that takes kids on a spy adventure through a quaint seaside town.

Amazon.com Review

Pirate's plunder rewards players who discover all of the hidden objects and decipher the riddles in <I>I Spy Treasure Hunt</I>. But there's also a bounty of booty on the path to that treasure as players discover this captivating world where closer inspection invariably reveals a new surprise.

This program is based on the award-winning <I>I Spy</I> books written by Jean Marzollo and photo-illustrated by Walter Wick. From the very beginning, this program immerses players, just as the books do: as a train pulls into the station in the town of Smuggler's Cove, the point-of-view is from inside the passenger car, looking out the window. Once off the train, this quaint seaside town with a secret is yours to explore. Potential riddle spots reveal themselves when a cursor sweep causes an object to respond with movement and sound. A tackle box, a deserted ruin, and a lighthouse are just a few of the 20 spots ripe for discovery. Scenes change swiftly, considering the vast amount of detail each contains. When explorers find a riddle area, a cluttered panorama appears onscreen and a child's voice reads the sentence below that always begins with the phrase "I spy...." Then players must find and click on the objects listed in the sentence. This isn't as easy as it seems; for example, finding three "fours" sounds simple, right? But the task gets complex when one numeral is hidden in the grain of a wooden tabletop, the other is written out in letters on a menu, and the third is a pair of dice showing a three and a one.

Successfully finding all the "I Spy" items in a scene yields a scrap of a treasure map. But building the map doesn't automatically reveal the treasure--that'd be out of keeping with this game's complex character. There are three different treasure-hunting scenarios, and each requires gathering a completely different set of clues around the town of Smuggler's Cove. The attention to detail that the books are famous for is abundantly present here: sound permeates the different "sets," from waves breaking on the shore, to the slow tick of a clock in the general store. Find and click on a skull-and-crossbones--it scowls and growls. Find and click on an oil lamp--it flares up briefly and then goes out with a delicate puff of smoke. And no, you can't cheat by just holding down the mouse button and scanning over a picture hoping to hit a required item. <I>I Spy Treasure Hunt</I> is a wonderfully absorbing program that slyly sneaks in a vast amount of learning. Mapping, reading, rhyming, and problem solving occur incidentally as players are drawn into the mysteries of Smuggler's Cove. And it's the only program we've ever encountered that elegantly illustrates that "four" and "4" and "." + "..." all equal the same thing. (Ages 6 to 10) <I>--Anne Erickson</I>

Amazon.com Product Description

Embark on an adventure to Smuggler's Cove, a community bursting with pirate history, elusive clues, and hidden treasures, while building essential skills. Solving <I>I Spy</I> riddles reveals pieces of three mysterious treasure maps. Once assembled, the maps lead players on a hunt to discover treasure left behind by legendary pirates.

Explore the town, search out hidden treasures, and solve riddles at unique locations throughout Smuggler's Cove. Visit the ice cream shop, an abandoned fort, a deserted island, and more. Carefully search Shipwreck Shore to solve the riddle and earn another map piece. The words highlight as each object is found. Once all of the map pieces are assembled, kids can play a pirate map game. Use critical thinking skills to follow the clues on a search for the treasures.

5 out of 5 stars The MUST HAVE I Spy game!!.......2007-06-07

We have 4 of the I Spy titles and this is the best!! I get bored playing the others with my kids but I never tire of the nautical theme and the happy music! If you are only going to get one this is it!!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful for my 5 year old.......2007-05-15

This game is wonderful to sit down and play with my five year old. The game seems limited at first, but when you finish the first time through, it asks if you want to play again and re-seeds the rooms with different things to find. Well worth the $8 as we spent about 8 hours the first time through.

Note: There was a sound problem as some have mentioned but it is easily corrected by running a patch on the CD in a folder labeled 'sound fix'.

4 out of 5 stars I Spy : Treasure Hunt and Fantasy.........2007-05-12

I bought these games for my nieces and nephew.. Somehow, ended up playing them all night... Why was that?... There were five of us big kids and a half a case of beer... LOL....

3 out of 5 stars average game.......2007-04-12

My children have had this CD for about a year and they've used it only a few times the first few weeks. It has not held their interest as long as some of their other computer games.

Great game. Much to enjoy. Not to easy, not to difficult.
