Product Description:
Build a bevy of sharp math skills as you trek high in the Himalayas with the ClueFinders. They're on a quest to find missing ancient treasures and they need your sharp wits to hunt for clues. From purchasing supplies in the village store to building a yak corral, every activity is a math learning challenge.

My 10-year-old and I have played (and re-played) all of the Cluefinders games and we find this one boring and frustrating. We call it the Annoying Himalayan game. It forces you to play the same games over and over and some get to be nearly impossible when the levels get higher. Also, a couple of game sequences seem to be flawed. The clues lead you to a suspect and missing treasure and then the game says you are wrong. Also, the same missing treasures are found again and again and some are never found. Unlike the other Cluefinders games where beating one part of the game takes you to a new group of puzzles, this one has a very anti-climactic ending.
I recommend any of the other Cluefinders games but not this one.

The concept is good, but not on par with the old reader rabbit, and math blaster. Haveing to use the disk every time is a pain, and there doesn't seem to be a way to save where you are. Was looking for summer activities for the grandaughter, don't think this will work. I would not recommend these to todays children. They are far past the graphic capabilities of this system.

This game does not hold our kids' interest as well as Jump Start (especially Jump Start World) but we were happy that the item was exactly as described and arrived quickly and well packaged. Since there are not many choices for these upper grades (Jump Start World only goes to 2nd) these are probably as good as it gets.

There are a few puzzles in this game that don't provide enough information to solve. Other puzzles are way too difficult even for my very advanced 9-year-old - they were challenging even for me. I recommend looking elsewhere.

This a good software product. My fourth grade son uses it often. It is educational and he really enjoys playing it.
