OMNIMEDIA PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Treasure Hunt:
============
Release date:
Out now
Price:
ú29.95 / $39.99
Details:
The Treasure Hunt is an interactive children╒s story with a puzzle
to be solved at the end of each chapter. It tells the story of a crew
of pirate mice, who find a secret map, and go off to find the buried
treasure. The child╒s job is to help them find the buried treasure
by completing the puzzles and games.
For the parent, this is the ideal story to read with the child, as well
being a story which will keep children entertained for hours. One
can confidently let the child play with a non-violent, non-
threatening, stimulating CD-ROM. The original water-colour
graphics have been painstakingly recreated on computer, and a
group of children can happily play with The Treasure Hunt at the
same time.
For younger children, there is the ╥bedtime story╙ mode, which
will gently lull the child to sleep.
REVIEWS:
Electronic Entertainment (USA):
╥Searching for hidden treasure has always had its attractions, but
it╒s even more fun with help from a shipful of mice... Based on the
book of the same name by Amanda Wood, The Treasure Hunt is a
delicately illustrated interactive storybook for ages 4 to 9.
Treasure Hunt╒s activities run from visual identification to an
electronic colouring game, all designed to build cognitive, memory
and comparison skills. Impatient types can skip the story all
together and go straight to the games. With its beautiful
watercolours enlivened with clever animation, it╒s difficult to say
who will return to the Treasure Hunt more often, you or your
child.╙
Four Stars
Times Educational Supplement:
╥The freshness, style and sense of enchantment of Living Books is
also present in Treasure Hunt. The narrative, sounds and graphics
are well-produced, it is simple to use, and there is an innovative
bedtime story facility. OmniMedia╒s first ╥book╙ and its plans for a
new title next year should give Living Books a good run for their
money.╙
