Great theme to catch the eye of any child! Especially those "sometime hard to motivate" boys. Great graphics! If one doesn't solve a word puzzle in the first try, they can return to it with the same words but a different letter clue is given. Highly motivating, causing player to persevere to get to the treasure! Contains easily understandable, built in demo so players understand the object of the game with little to no adult explanation. Provides hints which are vague just enough to get player using higher level thinking instead of just "telling" them the answer in the hint. Multilingual in 8 different languages. Great to practice a second language. Game settings to set difficulty level and to reset. One thing lacking in this game is tracking individual progress. If another player wishes to play, you must reset the game outside of the app or allow them to continue where the first player left off. Then the one player loses all of the levels they had already accomplished when they wish to play again. Also, it would be beneficial if one could customize words.

Addictive problem solving play!

This app is colorful and engaging, supporting spelling and spatial skills as well as pattern recognition. Would help to have more easily identifiable puzzle pieces for visually impaired kids and data tracking would be helpful.

Fun app!

This is a fun app for elementary school-aged kids. I enjoyed it as well, and found it hard to put down! My five-year-old preschooler was able to do the word finding puzzles with lots of help; this part is good for building spelling skills in early readers. He could do the logic puzzles on his own or with some help. It was fun to earn treasure map puzzle pieces and and tools are we completed each level. Nice game at incorporates some spelling and logical thinking!

Engaging and fun

The premise of the app (pirates finding buried treasure) will delight most youngsters. The way learning is woven into the game is clever. It took a few tries for me to discover the treasure map and then find the treasure, but it was addicting! There were some bugs (the puzzle froze, the keys didn't work) but just replaying the games would clear it. Overall, the game is clever and learning happens while having fun.

Good App

This app has wonderful animation and the plot of helping the Pirates piece together the treasure map is a good one. There is a silent tutorial before each activity showing how the activity is completed. The activities use a higher level of logic in solving the puzzles and is a higher skill level than preschool crowd. Very good levels of activities for elementary age students. Some sort of progress tracking would be a nice addition to this app.

Great app

My students loved it! The pirate theme kept everybody's attention. Colorful and fun. They really liked the crossword puzzle and trying to avoid the bombs. Lots of problem solving.

Cool app. Engaging and fun. My students love the crossword search and trying to avoid the bombs. We also like the other puzzles found throughout the game.

Nice incorporation of learning and fun. Teaches young students about crosswords. The second portion has a variety of matching tasks to earn tools. Finally finding pieces of the map keeps you motivated to work through the crosswords. Just wish there were more levels with more final word games to continue playing.

What fun!

This is a great app for elementary aged children. It is easy to get hooked as the player tries to find the treasure. Many different games keep the player working--crossword puzzles, building a jigsaw puzzle, providing answers to math facts. It is challenging, and fun! Well worth the cost!
