Famous Five Adventure Game
© 2018 Kuato Studios
Based on the "Famous Five" book series, this app includes beautiful sounds and illustrations. It is an ambitious exploration/adventure game from England that offers a lot of mini-game content, and a variety of games that vary in quality. You play as one of four children as you explore a map in search of challenges. When the mystery is solved, a custom storybook is generated from the play session. Through this shared storytelling, children are guided to increase their reading capabilities and stretch their vocabulary. Innovative freatures include a dyslexia mode that toggles the font into something that is easy to see. The designers worked with Amanda Gummer as a consultant. Testers noted some UK specific language that may not work well in other countries.
