Puffin Pursuits
Sunday, April 12th, 2009I received the game yesterday and played it for a few hours straight. It was pretty fun, cute and informative. I learned a lot about puffins as well as about other animals near to the puffin. The graphics are not state-of-the-art but there is some good hand drawn art work throughout and some good photographs.
There are six main categories of fun to choose from:
- Jigsaw Puzzle—Here you can put together pieces of a puzzle—always depicting puffins eventually. These puzzles can be as simple as 9 pieces or as complex as 100 pieces.
- Storybook—Here you can read (and listen along) to a story about a man’s journey to see the Puffins. It has beautiful black-and-white hand drawn illustrations included.
- Safari—Here you can choose easy, medium or hard options to go on a safari with Professor Eggwood where you look through binoculars at animals and choose which animal you are looking at from the four options provided. Each level ends with the choosing of a puffin. Here you learn to identify many different animals both in flight and standing still.
- Slider Puzzle—Here you can slide tiles to get the picture perfect. You can choose 9 tiles to 36 tiles depending on your desired level of challenge. The pictures are nice to see after you slide the tiles into the correct place.
- Match—Here you can match pictures, like the game of Memory, matching the pictures on the tiles. You turn one over and try to find (or remember its matchint tile). You can choose a game with 6 tiles or 48!!!
- Videos—Here you can watch a documentary with our without a voice over — all about puffins.
This game is inexpensive but packed with tons of educational fun, cute games, hand drawn illustrations and hours of game-playing. I would definitely recommend getting this game for all ages.
