How many riddles are there?
Each time a game is played, 5 clues are gathered. At the end of the game, the 5 clues
form a riddle which the player must solve. There are
15 different possible outcomes to
the clues, but the riddles may be presented in several different formats, including
rhymes, description word clues, scrambled letter clues, missing letter clues, etc.
Therefore, even though a riddle may have a familiar answer, the difference in the way
clues are presented makes it seem like a whole new puzzle to solve. Riddle formats can be
selected at the beginning of a game.
What if the riddle is too hard for my child?
Hints are given to players who are having trouble solving a riddle.
If after a set number of guesses, the riddle still remains unsolved,
the game reveals the answer.
Can the timer be paused during a game?
YES.
What if my child has trouble reading?
There is a great deal of
vocal instruction provided during the game.
The word problem games even have a Sound button which reads the problem out loud if desired.
Is the player's status saved when the game is exited?
YES. The player's status is saved every time a question is answered,
so that whenever the game is started up, the player can resume play exactly where they left off.
Can kids with different skill levels use the same copy of the game?
YES. It is possible to create up to
10 different players per installation. Each player
has an individual record attached, keeping track of that player's selected skill level,
skill set, current game statistics and game history. This makes it possible for one
installation to serve a whole household of children at once.
What if my child does not fall within the recommended age range?
The ages recommended (7 to 11) are not set in stone. Some more advanced 6 year-olds can
handle it (with some parental guidance), and some 12 year-olds still have fun playing.
Is there a description of all available Skill Levels?
YES. An explanation of skill levels can be found through the Help menu.
Can sound be turned off?
YES. Use the Options Menu.
