it might have been fun if I could have gotten it to run on my laptop. I thought I had made sure it would run on mine, a MacBook 13-inch 2017 running on MacOS Mojave. But I kept getting the message that it was unsupported.
My first grade and I love this game for teaching the basics of world geography through a cute travel game for young kids (7-10yrs). You help a character travel the world based on the clues they provide and can collect stickers about the world's places and animals. If this disc wears out I will replace it without hesitation.
My girls ages 4, 7, & 9 all loved this game. I bought it at the beginning of summer vacation last year. They played it all summer long and still love it.
For my younger two it was a great way to introduce world geography. The central feature to the game is an interactive world map. When you click on icons on the map they do something silly & memorable. For example the Eiffle tower in France dances to the Can-Can. After the silly graphic, a pop-up screen gives factual information or a short video about that place or animal that lives there. My younger two explored the map until they were proficient in finding all their favorite icons. Next they played the main game which is like a big scavenger hunt. You are given clues and have to find the place & icon on the map. The CD also features smaller games that teach various map skills.
For my oldest it was a fun review and reinforcement of her geography skills. She especially liked the postcard feature. At numerous places on the map my children found "postcards". They could address them to each other and type in a short message. The postcards could be sent to anyone on that computer who plays the game. For them it was like email without the internet. Also a great way to practice typing for my oldest.
**We installed & used the game on Windows Vista without any problems.
I bought this computer game for my little girl and she has really enjoyed it. It has fun games, short informative videos, and lots of geography facts. I recommend it very highly. My little girl cannot read, and so I do have to help her some with the game.
Great for Children to have fun while learning Geography and other little world tidbits. Definitely will keep the child occupied while expanding their knowledge.
Played this on Windows 95 as a kid and wanted to find an updated version for my siblings to enjoy. I forgot my OS was Windows 7 when I bought this (up to Vista), but it still worked on my computer, albeit slightly jerky at first. Great nostalgia and looking forward to their reactions at Christmas!
I can't say enough about DK. My special needs son learned all of his animals and geography from DK computer games. I recommend DK products all the time to co-workers and to customers. DK has products in every department of your local bookstore!
