ClueFinders 3rd Grade App Reviews
I bought this game for my 8 year old son. I am currently homeschooling him and thought that this game may lighten up the intensity of BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS! He played it for the first time today and didnt want to stop...he told me he was actually surprised how difficult it is in spots and that it is a nice challenge. There is an adventure story that goes along with many short game challenges. It is a good game combining education and entertainment a great way to impliment things that kids this age are already learning. The best part is that they wont even think about it as doing work/school but rather as having fun :) My only problem with the game is the price, imo its a little high for the value.
THE KIDS LOVED THE GAME BUT AT A CERTAIN POINT IN THE STORY LINE THE GAME CRASHES. I HAVE SO FAR SENT TWO REPORTS OFF TO THE CLUE FINDERS 3RD GRADE SUPPORT AND THEY HAVE NOT REPLEID BACK IN OVER A WEEK. I WILL GIVE IT 5 STARS IF THEY WILL FIX IT FROM CRASHING.
My 2ed grader has been working on this game obsessively for 2 days. I have to work with him and give him strategies for solving the problems or he would resort to guessing until he got the right answer. A wide variety of skills are addressed and the character/story line is engaging enough to motivate him to continue through the most challenging exercises. We are learning core skills without the battle of sitting him down with a pencil and paper :). I have had 0 technical problems with the program.
I used to play this when I was younger! So glad I could find it on the Mac store without having to order the actual disc. Could you please put up Cluefinders The Mystery of the Missing Amulet. That would be awesome!
I bought this app because I loved this game as a kid and wanted to revisit it, and its exactly what I remembered and looks great. But it crashes near the end of the game after you complete the red bridge at the bottomless pits of doom and recrashes whenever you try to start over again, which is why Im only giving it 3 stars.
purchased this game for $14.99. A big disappointment as the the main game displays on the tiny area in the center. There is no option to mazimize the play area. Kids had hard time to play due to main gain display in the smail area. The price does not justify the old graphics of the game. I want my money back!! thanks,
My little twin brothers adored with game and whipped through it- unfortunately, they had the same issue as uglypottamus where the game crashed right as the kids moved to the final level of the game. It was so dissappointing for them to work so hard to get there and need to start all over. :( Hopefully it will be fixed soon?
I recently have been trying to play this game again like I did as a child but my disk was not working with any new laptops. I’m so glad I found this app! I bought the game to relive some childhood memories and it worked fine and did not crash for me at the end. It was a great trip down memory lane :’) Would reccomend if you enjoyed the game as a kid.
Game Never Starts
I paid $15 for this super excited to relive a fun childhood memory, unfortunatley as soon as the entrance sequence is done the game does not actually begin. It goes to black and just stays there, only the practice run works. Major bummer.
Black Screen
I was so excited to buy and play this game however upon opening the game the screen went black and i was unable to do anything. I have contacted support. If they get back to me i will update my review
DOESN"T WORK
App loads and once you click start it goes to a black screen. I should have read the reviews before purchasing because it seems like others have had the same issue. So sad my kiddos can't play.
Non-responsive
So, paid $15 for this game for my daughter to play and as soon as I hit "start game", it goes to a black screen and nothing happens. I reached out to technical support and tried to have them help. Alex, technical support, had me give him all this information and said he was going to help. At this point, Alex quit responding to me and no assistance has been given any further. I still cannot get the game to work, and of course, I am out the $15. I am happy to change this review once assitance is given and I can get my money worth of this purchase. As well, it appears this problem has been fixed in the past.

Please update all your ClueFinders' apps. They have needed updating for awhile. They keep crashing.

This game doesn't run on Mac OS Catalina. Very disapointed.
Childhood Memories
I just loved this game growing up and now other generations can enjoy it too. But lately I can't seem to work my app on my computer now I try to play it and it won't go on, I play practice mode but I can't to story mode, it just goes blank. I hope this problem can be fixed
App Doesn't Work
Downloaded for my Mac and the game doesn't work passed the sign in screen. The screen just goes black. Contacted the company so hopefully they'll get back to me.
Disappointed
Paid to pay the game. Doesn't work past the opening video.
doens't work
So angry because this app doesn't work. Crashes after I try to sign in. Wasted $15 on something I can't even play. How can I fix? If this can't be fixed then how can I get my money back?
Does Not Work
This game unfortunatly does not function on my computer. The opening video plays but otherwise does not work, I can’t click on anything. Very disappointed to have paid so much for it and not be able to use it.

Same Problem as uglypottamus… Crashes at last level.
My little twin brothers adored with game and whipped through it- unfortunately, they had the same issue as uglypottamus where the game crashed right as the kids moved to the final level of the game.

Pricy game with old graphics a big disappointment!!!
purchased this game for $14.99. A big disappointment as the the main game displays on the tiny area in the center. There is no option to mazimize the play area. Kids had hard time to play due to main gain display in the smail area. The price does not justify the old graphics of the game. I want my money back!! thanks,
Excellent for nostalgia, but crashes

Awesome Game
I used to play this when I was younger! So glad I could find it on the Mac store without having to order the actual disc. Could you please put up Cluefinders The Mystery of the Missing Amulet. That would be awesome!
