Ages 9 to 12+

ClueFinders Search & Solve Adventures builds your pre-teen student’s problem-solving skills without them realizing they’re studying. Remade for Mac OS X by Software MacKiev, the ClueFinders series is presented in the format of a Saturday morning TV cartoon adventure show.
Kids learn key logical thinking skills and have fun with four junior detectives, the ClueFinders, as they venture into an abandoned amusement park to answer a mysterious S.O.S. signal. Along the way, kids solve problems that build a variety of important decision-making skills including visual thinking, word patterns, verbal logic, visual analogies, strategy, and number pattern recognition.
Using the A.D.A.P.T. Learning System, the software provides a customized learning experience where the level of problems presented is continuously adjusted to take the student’s progress into account.
