With brain-teasing graphics and puzzling riddles to solve, this spooky addition to the I Spy series will keep elementary-age students occupied for hours at a time. A skeleton host rewards players with a secret message puzzle piece upon successful completion of each riddle. Those clever enough to collect all the pieces can solve the bigger fun house mystery. With ten different rooms ranging from an inventor's laboratory to a library--and text that is written entirely in rhyme--the world created here is utterly absorbing. No matter how many times you explore a room, there's always new details and creepy clickables you hadn't seen before. Particularly well done is the attic, where you can explore in the dark with only a flashlight to light your way. In the study, you can even create your own riddles to send to your printer! This software concentrates on critical-thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and acute observational techniques that are centered around a mansion. This software takes a well-loved series to a whole new level--it's perfect for the die-hard fan or as the first member of what we're sure will become a large I Spy collection. --Jill Lightner

 great for preschoolers too! July 18, 2008

My girls (ages 5 & 3) have enjoyed all of the 'I SPY' titles for the past 6 months. I thought it might be too difficult since the age range is alot higher, but they can get thru it without any problems. Occassionally they need help finding a single item but otherwise manage on their own. Even my 3 yr old can get it started and play alone with minimal help.
My husband and I enjoy playing the games with the kids as well and some items can be very difficult to find, lol.
It's a game for the whole family to enjoy.
Nice Game, support issues on some Macs. July 7, 2008
Rick Jay (Western Massachusetts)
We have both "I Spy Fantasy" and "I Spy Spooky Mansion" and the kids like both of them. I have run them an iMac (video chip: Radeon X1600), and MacBook (video: GMA 950 chipset), 2 MacMinis (GMA 950) and am TRYING TO RUN IT on a recent MacBook (video: GMA X3100). All systems are Intel Core 2 Duo's running Leopard. The problem seems to be with the current version of Leopard 10.5.4 and the X3100 does not support the "thousands of colors" option that this game will require. Until Apple corrects this problem with the driver, I don't think this game will work with the current generation of MacBooks or MacAir notebooks.
I bought a new MacBook last week for my daughter to use and she really wants to run the "I Spy" games. Since I can't get them to run, I may have to return this notebook until Apple corrects the problem.
But if you have the right hardware, I highly recommend these games. They keep our kids (ages 4 - 11) busy.

Spooky but not scary - just the way little ones like it to be. Fun for kids and educational at the same time - teaches them to observe and teaches new words as they hunt for unfamiliar, perhaps, objects. Even my 3 year old grandson enjoys this.
Learning fun... November 14, 2007

...a wonderful learning experience for my grandson. The I SPY series first got his attention at the library, and became his favorite, so I ordered him his own copy!

I purchased this item for my grandchildren (ages 10 through 5). I played it first so that I would be able to answer any questions that they might have. A couple of the puzzles stumped me at first but, over all, this is a wonderful game! Fun graphics. "Create a Ghost" is really fun. Very kid friendly, and Grandma friendly also!
