Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

An amazing interactive adventure for children aged 7 to 12

Uncle Albert's secret album is full of amazing stories, photographs and crazy experiments. It also contains a hidden treasure. The album has been brought down from the attic after many years and a magical adventure begins...

Children are encouraged to join this interactive treasure quest by using all the tools, objects and animals inside the album to unlock secret pages. As the adventure unfolds, every clue they solve, every puzzle they complete, every riddle they answer, every trap they avoid and every statuette they find, will take children a step closer to discovering the cave full of treasures.

Yes, the game is slow to load and, yes, the instructions are rather vague which is why I intervened when our ten year old got stuck and disheartened right at the beginning but once we had got going...oh boy, neither she nor I could leave it alone!

The game is more than simply taking photos to fill the album. In answer to written clues and instructions, you take photos of objects and collect objects that are scattered throughout the different levels of the album. Success gives you more clues, more 'pages'and hidden depths and a variety of puzzles and games to complete. Some require general knowledge, some require keyboard skills, some are just fun and wonderfully, excrutiatingly frustrating!

This game was riveting and so much more stimulating than the mindless beep-beep, whack 'em or kill 'em style games we reject so often. I'd recommend it but be prepared to offer assistance at the start or play it before you hand it over!

I thought this would be similar to the Explorer series but it is nothing like it. The graphics are poor and it's slow to load.

The game consists of clicking on stickers and filling up the album. I don't know what happens after that as my daughter became bored and didn't finish it.

The most annoying aspect is that every time you go on you have to watch the introduction again, there is no 'skip' section, and this lasts for quite a few minutes.

I wouldn't recommend it at all.
