Travel with Pajama Sam into the darkness, use your wits to help him conquer his fear, and gain valuable skills to boot in Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside. Fed up with his fear of the dark, the plucky Sam transforms himself into Pajama Sam--world's youngest superhero--and resolves to confront darkness. With help from King the mine car, Otto the boat, and a host of fascinating characters, Pajama Sam soon finds that things aren't quite what they seem in the incredible Land of Darkness. Join this enchanting cast of characters as they travel through a mine, a gigantic tree house, through underground volcanoes, and into an underground stream in search of items confiscated by custom inspectors in this exciting world. With each new game these items are randomly hidden in the game world, thus changing the story and presenting different problems to overcome. Kids learn critical thinking, listening, and memory skills while finding out that darkness is not as bad as it seems.

Great character, fun and interesting game November 28, 2006

We started with Putt-Putt and Freddie Fish at 3yrs old. By 4 we had solved all of them several times and were looking for more so we moved on to Pajama Sam. My almost 5 year old can get through most of this game. There are a few parts where she asks for help. The character is very likeable and the game is interesting and fun while sharpening her problem solving skills.

My older grandchildren love this game. Jacqueline is 6 and Andrew is 5. They can play for hours at a time. It teaches them to think of the things they will need to get to the end. They are very good at it, and I think it teaches them to stick with something until the end.

This is a good game but it took a long time to finish the first game and even longer to solve the one where the lunchbox was in the water and I'm dissapionted it wasn't rusty even though PJ Sam said it was metal. He even brought up that it could rust! It took me a long time to figure out how to get the oars down and I couldn't find a magnet or the other dumbwiater(But I know where they are now!) and I don't get why he's not allowed to get in the dumbwaiter in the kichen but that only cuts off one star. I really love when the flashlight is in the mine because it's got so many steps to do before you can get it but once I saved the game right before I put the gear in, and then put it in, but then when I loaded the game the gear was different, which is anoying because it's best if your able to stay in the mine untill you have the flashlight. Sincerly, Russian Blue Witch.
Autistic Kid Loves all Pajama Sam games September 28, 2004

My 7-year old autistic daughter loves this one, and the subsequent Pajama Sam games.
Originally I bought it for her but she wasn't too interested. But that's because she couldn't figure out how to get him going at the beginning, with his cape, mask, and lunchbox, into the closet, to really start the adventure.
Once we discovered this, and the whole "land of darkness" opened up, she was totally hooked.
The "cluttered, chaotic" nature of the game, which another reviewer criticized, is actually what makes it so attractive, so perfect, for my daughter!
She doesn't really care about the actual objective. She just likes going around, picking things up, clicking on things and making them interact, etc. And there is enough to keep her occupied for hours and days, just in this one game. (plus then there are #2 and #3)

If your child has played beginning level software and is ready to move on to more advanced gameplay, Humongous Entertainment's Pajama Sam series (and Freddi Fish and Putt-Putt as well) are an excellent choice. These titles take the cognitive tasks up a notch as children must accumulate specific items, navigate a number of locations, and use their problem-solving skills to help new friends and achieve larger goals. Along the way, funny and lovable Pajama Sam will meet a number of nice characters, visit a variety of interesting locations and play mini-games as he completes the larger task of finding and defeating Darkness, who scares him. Along the way he will help a boat find his oars, oil a creaky mine car, etc. Specifics change if you start a new game, and as other reviewers have stated, you may want to play with your child a few times before they'll be able to enjoy it on their own, so each game is good for hours of fun.This is a fine game in a great series. We have all the Pajama Sam titles and enjoy them all.
