Perfect for kids 3-6. Grabs and keeps attention for extended lengths of time.

What a JOKE!!! This game is like watching grass grow... NOTHING HAPPENS!!! I thought this was a game for kids but the only thing being played are the people that download this ap!
Fun

My five year old said this game is fun. She enjoyed solving the mystery and liked the mini games in the stories. It's nice that you can see the words and listen to them being read.
Would love for this app to work

I thought this would be a good app for my daughter to use but you can't open any of the boards. It asks the parent to set the clock to unlock the board but nothing happens. I am disappointed...
Crashed before ending

Nothing like missing the end of a story to get kids upset. Right when Huckle was going to explain the mystery. Nice idea and graphics, though.
Great app with lots to do

My son likes it and it's really educational for memory building and problem solving for preschoolers.
Great before 1.1 update

My 4 yr old loves this game and convinced me to buy 3 of the mysteries (that's $9 of you're counting at home). Unfortunately the last update has rendered it completely useless as it crashes every time I open it right after the lowly worm loading screen. Yeah, I did a hard reboot as suggested on the support page but no dice. I'm on a 1st gen iPad Mini running iOS 6. Devs: please fix this so I can update the rating and/or continue giving you my money for additional mysteries.
