KS2
Each book draws on the creative and interactive features of adventure games, and applies them to a series of exciting and imaginative learning exercises, based on a common theme or challenge. Children have to undertake a number of maths tasks to complete the game. The fun challenges are easy, straightforward and ideal for children at KS2 who find maths difficult.
Blackbeard's Treasure
It's 1720 in the Caribbean and a group of pirates are about to launch an expedition to find Blackbeard's Treasure. Players have to purchase a ship, hire a crew, kit them out, find the island and the hidden treasure - and finally share out the loot! There are eight tasks to be completed by children working in pairs.
S.A.N.T.A. C.L.A.U.S.
Santa is under pressure to supply exciting gifts for children at Christmas - and needs some bright new employees. Children who wish to apply are given a problem to solve in each of the toy making departments.
Asteroid X
It's 2099 on a visit to Asteroid X, disaster strikes - the spaceship has a major malfunction. Players have to undertake a hazardous journey back to Earth. They need to plan their journey, select supplies they will need, choose the best survival craft and work out how to deal with the dangers ahead.
The Great Jewel Robbery
This is a story about a robbery that Sherlock Holmes might have investigated. A robbery from a famous museum of perhaps the most priceless matched set of crystal jewels. One morning the museum guards discover that one of the pieces is missing!
The Haunted School
Two ghosts must be coaxed to move to another school. This adventure focuses upon number activities, and is also designed to be usable in a staff meeting or INSET session to raise issues about what makes a good activity, the methods children use when working with numbers,etc.
The House on the Hill
Children have to explore an empty house and solve the problems they meet on the way. The problem-solving theme is highly motivating, and typically children will be genuinely excited as they progress through the adventure and eventually complete the final problem.
