I SPY books have been a staple in my family for years as a fun way to have my children bond between parents and with each other. So, being able to play I SPY Adventure for the VTech Innotab was an exciting way to continue with the tradition. My children are 9, 7, and 4, and they all have loved playing this updated version of the classic.
There are several different games to choose from.
- Riddle Rush. These are hidden objects you need to find within the riddles.
- Pattern Quest makes patterns fun by listening and watching carefully to solve the problem, see the image below.
- Oops Hoops is a great way for kids to challenge their problem-solving skills, figure out which objects are similar, and sort them into hoops.
- Adventure Box uses logic to help match objects from various pictures throughout the game.
Each game offers a different way to challenge your children’s minds with 50 levels to conquer. They start at easy and work up to more difficult levels, so no matter the age, there is something for everyone; even my 9-year-old is hooked! It is a great game with bright, colorful graphics that will keep the kids entertained and learning at the same time. Written by Andrea
