The kids really enjoyed playing this game. I was disappointed at first because they used so many parts of previous games, but the kids didn't mind at all.

Highly Recommended

My daughter has been playing all of the I Spy games since she was about 5 and she thinks they're terrific. She is now 7 and still enjoys them. We parents find them plenty clever and interesting, too. As a bonus, they work seamlessly on our Mac.

I bought this game for my 5 1/2 yr old daughter and myself to play together. We both enjoyed it a lot. I like the fact that it can read and re-read outloud the clues names as my daughter is just learning to read. I can leave her playing while I work on dinner and I don't hear "Mommy, I need you."

My six year old loves these books and computer games. The game allows you to solve several mysteries and would be good for a first grader.

If you like the I Spy games/books, you will love this one. It is a review of the other games with many of the same settings. Great potential for language growth and logic skills.

I am so glad that I bought this computer game for my kids before reading the reviews on this site!

Look, we don't have a lot of computer games and we had just recently discovered the I Spy books about 1 year ago. We loved them so much that I do believe we'd read nearly all of them before I saw this game for sale. This excellent little collection of picture puzzles is not repeated from the books, so to us they're all new. It was like a breath of fresh air from a parent's point of view; games without that constant, annoying background music, the kids can play them quietly and actually learn something. The boys love it even more than I; they have been begging to play I Spy Mystery every day after their homework is done for the past week since they got it.

The game is simple. You select one of 13 folders, each is its own mini mystery with a theme (Mystery Meal, Locked Gate, Skeleton Key, etc). You have 3-5 "pictures" in each folder to find the hidden objects, and when you have solved all of the pictures, you are given clues to solve the final mystery. this involves a sharp eye, but also logic, good recall for details, and problem solving skills. Kids will also learn to employ multiple meanings for a word in their search, such as "bat".

I Spy Mystery, like all the books, is a fun and low pressure way to build the brain. I get caught up in it with them from time to time -- I've even added my name to the player file so I don't mess up their scores when I sneak a round. And now that we are intrigued by some of the folders, we will make an effort to find the other I Spy games. Thank God for Scholastic!

Don't let someone else's opinion sway you from purchasing a great product for your child. There may be some overlap between titles, but there is plenty of new games, screens & puzzles to keep a young mind entertained.

Not to mention if you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase from Amazon.com, you may return it directly to the publisher for a full refund.

This was a very interesting game, even if it was a repeat of past games.
I would rather have a new game that is all new, with new I Spy areas.
Beings it was a repeat, it was fairly easy.

Great game! My kid loved it! She didn't want to leave the computer until she found them all!

Regurgetated Graphics from old "I Spy" Games.

All the screens in this "I spy" game are taken from "I Spy - Spooky Mansion", "I Spy - Treasure Hunt", and "I Spy - Fantasy". There are thirteen file folders on the main menu screen which represent thirteen 'mystery cases' containting anywhere from 3 to 6 screens each that you may choose at random. There are no original graphics in this one, so if you have these previous versions, which are all excellent, then this one may be a bit of a let down. However, If you are like me and loved all the other I Spy games and want a little more, then this will deliver.
