Treasure Island Reviews

Great fun way to introduce the next level of scan select

Listen while running

Cost: $2.99 Ease of Use: This app can be used as touch based, single switch, and two switch modes. Goal of the game is to find the treasure by scanning and selecting a square on the map. Visuals: The map is presented as a grid of 9 squares. Once you touched a spot, a dark blue foot stamps on that section of the map. I don't feel it is contrasting enough and wish I could modify the stamp in a different color at times. However, the benefit of the blue stamp is that is not overly distracting that the students do not perseverate on it. You have to weigh your needs. Auditory:Hopefully you children don't scare easily, sometimes the creepy skeletons will say boo and laugh at them. But generally the sound effects that accompany the squares are not too scary. Engagement Factor: I have boys, work with a lot of boys, it was nice to have a pirate game! Once you find the treasure you get a song and dance from the pirate himself. The map and location of the treasure changes slightly in each game so students can't memorize location. Overall: This app can be used to develop step scanning skills. Scan, scan, scan, select. And its fun to go on a treasure hunt. I give it 4 out of 5 Coffee Cups for the Arrgggghhhhh factor.

Great switch accessible app

I love this App! My students love playing even my most involved kids love the laughing skull. Great for switch/ visual scanning and timing skills!
