Section: iPod + iTunes , iPod touch , iPhone , iPhone , iPhone SDK & Apps , Reviews See, this is what I like. There are countless educational iPhone apps for kids, and even more age-appropriate games. Every now and again, though, a company will release a game that effectively bridge the gap between educational and entertaining, and Scholastic has managed to do that with the three games reviewed here. They all lean more towards gaming than education, but you won’t be able to complete any of them without solving plenty of puzzles. I Spy Riddle Race Category: Hidden object games Seller: Scholastic, Inc. Requirements: iPhone OS 3.0 or later Compatibility: iPhone and iPod touch File Size: 102MB Version Reviewed: 1.1 Price: $0.99 through January 8th, 2010 Age Rating: 4+ You’ve all played an I Spy game, right? Either with the book series by Jean Marzollo and Walter Wick or the video games? If not, you’ve at least played any of the myriad hidden object games out there. I Spy offers that type of gameplay; you’re presented with a cluster of objects scattered about the screen, and you’re told to find particular ones. It’s that simple, but it’s oddly addictive. I Spy Riddle race gives you 60 riddles scattered across 20 game boards, as well as some decent bonus levels to break up the flow of the game.
