Recommended for kids ages 4-7, I SPY Adventure features multiple ways to play, including:

·         Riddle Rush: Players solve I SPY riddles by searching for objects in photorealistic scenes with various kid-pleasing themes, including cars and trucks, crafts, colors, outer space and more

Every stimulating game in I SPY Adventure features 50 levels to be conquered and unlocked – each more challenging than the next! Players also encounter “power-ups” and other surprises all along the way. And, once they have successfully completed a level, they can replay it at any time.

The new I SPY Adventure game from Scholastic Media is compatible with all InnoTab systems.

Since the first I SPY book, written by Jean Marzollo with photographs from Walter Wick, was published by Scholastic in 1991, the program has expanded to include 49 million books in print.

My Thoughts

I love I Spy games because they aren't loaded with violence. These educational games get kids thinking with their interactive features including riddles, puzzles, and brain teasers. My daughter tried out the Vtech Innotab version of I spy and there are tons games included, making for hours of educational fun. Some of the games include:

Riddle Rush - Go on a scavnger hunt for objects to help you solve the riddles.

Pattern Quest - You'll need to listen closely to find the right object to complete this pattern.

Ooops Hoops - Kids will develop their sorting skills by figuring out which objects go together and putting them in the right hoop.

Adventure Box - Search for matching pairs when you unlock the treasure.

Overall, we really enjoyed the I Spy games. The graphics are colorful and fun, and the games are easy enough for most grade school aged children. If you are looking for a game that will get your kids minds working, I Spy is definitely a great choice. Grab a copy for yourself on Amazon.
