I have always hated math, so I have avoided this game until now. I decided to try it because I was bored and wanted to be able to say I have played all the Cluefinders games. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this game. The instructions for playing were vague and the game involving dropping ice cubes was difficult, even on the easy level. It was so challenging that even my mother, who is excellent at math, could not understand it. I ended up just dropping cubes and hoping for the best because I am only capable of very basic math (with the help of a calculator). Fortunately, I was able to pass that level. The clue deduction cube was a bit annoying. For example, one clue said it contains "green," but I was unsure if a small hint of green on an object was significant or not. Once you accuse a person, the game starts over again. I believe I heard the game say "23 more times," which seems absurd to keep repeating the same games 23 times each. I won't play it again.

By far the worst of the series. The setting and characters are boring, the games are repetitive, and the story is a really bad episode of Scooby-Doo. Skip this one you're missing nothing.
