ClueFinders: 6th Grade Adventures (Windows)

ClueFinders 6th Grade is my favorite of the ClueFinders games. I owe it as the game that inspired me to go into science. When I had difficulty in my chemistry classes, i would think back to this game as the reason why I wanted to study it. It was my first introduction to genuine chemicals and microbes.

The game is short enough to be finished in a single afternoon, but many of its puzzles require reading passages and thinking critically to solve them, which also requires a certain degree of focus and a longer attention span. On higher levels, I take pride in the fact that I still know how to multiply and divide fractions and decimals without using a calculator. It is definitely an educational title for older and more intellectually mature players.

Also, though it may be tempting to use the in-game map to go directly to the places where the petrified planks are, especially since it's easy to get lost in the tunnels, players who do this will miss out on the extra story cutscenes that appear at particular times during the game when visiting specific chambers without an activity. They're quite chilling.
