 3 Year Old Independent Fun...Forget the Clues!, 2002-09-27
I bought this for my son right before his 3rd birthday. After playing this game once, he has figured out how to navigate through the program and the computer without help. Forget actually finding the clues because the fun part is clicking on the background objects in each scene to see what they do. (My son cracks up every time he clicks on the pig to see him dump his face in the mud and go "oink oink") Even the balloons pop if you click on them. Some of the games are appropriate for even a 3 year old too. My son is learning how to use a computer and playing with his favorite character, Blue too. Maybe he'll get to the clues next year but for now, this keeps him well entertained when I'm cooking dinner or just needing a break!

 Where are the CLues???, 2001-06-26
Although the kids enjoy this game because it has characters that they like, it seems impossible to find all the clues and solve the riddles. Both myself and another Mom grew very frustrated trying it oursevles. We are both University educated women, so if we can't do it, I don't know how they'd expect a young one to.

 Slow but good, 2001-03-30
My 3 1/2 year old daughters really enjoy this game. They received it a few months ago for a Christmas present. The software is rather slow going from scene to scene, but it doesn't seem to bother my daughters. They have enjoyed solving the problems in each of the 4 games (you usually have to find something that a character needs in order for them to show you the clue). There are also some fun activities in each game (like hide and go seek in one game). Overall, very good software for children. They have been able to do it completely on their own without a problem.

Good value for the price, 2000-12-17
If your kids love Blue, they'll enjoy this as long as they are patient. Children who like things to move at 90 mph will be frustrated because it is painfully slow when it changes scenes. Having said that, it is still a great game. It is packaged with 2 CD's which make up 4 different games all ending at Blue's party. It helps to have a Mom or Dad around to help guide them through the things that they need to look for (the book will tell you what to look for.) Many clues are hiding behind something and kids need to solve a problem in order to get to the clue. The hints can be very subtle. It does not allow you to adjust the level of difficulty though so I would imagine that it may become boring faster than some others (too soon to tell.)

blue's birthday adventure, 2000-11-07
my three kids, ages 4,6,8 all liked this software. they liked playing the games before they got all the clues. there are lots of interesting click points. the birthday card activity was really neat. my only complaint is that going from one room to another is slow and some of the clues seem hard to find. overall all though, a good buy, wholesome and entertaining.
