KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror Comments:

This titles covers an important topic - nutrition. Set in the context of an investigation, it provides an interesting storyline that draws you in. it fun and interesting so the kids are inspired to play and learn more. It's easy to start and operate, the child can control the pace of the material, and the information is appropriate for the intended age. This is a fun way to learn health concepts and ways that some habits might be harmful. The graphics aren't outstanding but they work. Good representation of diverse background with the kids. Music and tone are fun and mysterious. Overall, it's the pace that is the weakest point. It is slow and very basic.

KIDS FIRST!® KID Juror Comments:

Easy to play. "I clicked on the picture and it started right away. It is easy to play." "It's kind of slow. I like the mini games like Hungry Hound where you have to get all the fruits to beat it and the hound can help." For people who like sports, there's soccer, baseball and basketball." "I liked learning about nutrition from this better than studying the food pyramid at school." "The narrator's voice is awful." "It's kind of weird. Its like Indiana Jones as a food detective. A strong point is that they have good questions about food and everything. But, the graphics are very bad."
