Review

Original Review: A truly awesome combination of books to read, clue cards to collect and puzzles to solve. It's like a junior Da Vinci cod-style romp around the globe, seeking clues buried in historical artifacts, events and people. Book One: The Maze of Bones, focuses on the life and inventions of Benjamin Franklin and the story sets the tone for clue-solving as the sibling protagonists work to solve the first clue. And while you wait for the next book (releasing on Dec 2), clue card packs give computer codes that reveal new leads for you to follow on your own. There are prizes to be won, but that's not the real appeal. The website is quite literally a labyrinth of information to read and sift through and hoepfully solve. Overwhelming? Not according to our testers who were more than happy to immerse themselves in the Cahill family quest. In fact, some testers went looking for even more information on stuff mentioned in the clues - wondering what a German Magneto is, or for that...
