What Others Say
Good value, and irresistible game for young detectives
Our third grader is hooked on the World game, despite being occasionally challenged by it, and enjoyed the DVD enough to request more than one viewing of it. So although we haven't even tried out the USA game yet, I think we got our money's worth, if not more.

Along the way you learn many interesting things about the countries you visit and will even learn some common language phrases. The truly studious can learn about the countries in more depth within the game's database. The game is very fun and can be enjoyed by the young and old alike. The box says that it ... Read More
