Amazon.com Review:
Playing 3rd Grade Adventures is a lot like falling intothe middle of a Saturday morning cartoon adventure. On the first CD- ROM, "The Mystery of Mathra," Uncle Horace is lost in a South Americanrain forest said to be the home of Mathra, an evil mythical bird. Youhave to join with a team of young rescuers to find Horace and learnwhat's destroying the jungle. But get ready to practice a lot of math,reading, science, geography, and problem-solving skills along theway.
Following this long and twisted tale takes players through "The MonkeyKingdom and the Goo Forest," where problems are presented by a colorfulcast of apes, spiders, and even a quartet of talking flowers that sounda bit like the Beatles. Each problem solved earns you whimsical itemsfor bartering--sneezeberries, goo beetles, or snagnets--that laterbecome your ticket to the keys to the Lost City, where Mathra resides.
Solving "The Mystery of Mathra" takes a lot of perseverance. Althoughthe game is rated for children aged 7 to 9, and is equipped with asystem that adjusts the program to different ability levels, it'sreally too difficult for 7- and 8-year-olds to play alone. But 3rdGrade Adventures' games are clever, and kids will love playingalong with the animated characters. The package also offers a secondCD-ROM full of printable workbooks and activity sheets--just in caseparents feel their kids are having too much fun. (Ages 7 to 9) -- Sharon Griggins

- Great learning game!
My children loved the adventure game so much that they were willing to do the math required to solve the puzzles.It made a great review for them to use over the summer.
They even wanted to play the game again after finishing it the first time.

This is a great game and one that keeps coming out to be played again and again by both my 8 year old and my 6 year old.An excellent combination of fun and education built around a modern, engaging story.It builds on language, math and problem solving skills and isn't just about how fast you can push buttons on the keyboard.My kids also love the Mia games by Kutoka and the I Spy games by Riverhillsoft Inc.

Our 4 year old LOVES this!
He needs a lot of help doing this b/c you have to be in atleast 2nd grade to get it but he loves the adventure and is picking up some new skills along the way whereas he didn't really enjoy the Reader Rabbit series that much... it was too "babyish" for him.

I lovethis game. You are in the rainforest, with Santiago and Joni,when Joni's uncle gets kidnapped by Mathra,the island monster! You have to solve math problems, and gather info from the island monkeys. Santiago and Joni use Laptrap, Joni's uncle's flying robot, for a map of the island, for help on math problems, and for a profile of the team.
You have to cross the rings of fire and get to Mathra's layer.
You also have to weigh rocks to Medusa's evil pet snakes.
