Deskplorers is an original, highly entertaining and
immersive, game for children age 6+ filled with fresh with
fun animation and interactive features that will keep them
engaged for hours. In Deskplorers you meet a series of
characters that transport the children across time and space
on a variety of adventures though books and mini games. The
Deskplorers help your kids read and understand the meaning
of sentences. The game promotes creative thinking and
teaches problem solving skills (understanding the dialogs,
object descriptions, Tom's feedback...) You can also
reinforce the education of a foreign language by switching
the chapter's dialog between available languages (available
now: French, coming soon: German, Italian and Spanish), not
to mention you also introduce the children to learning about
history.
The gameplay is straightforward: the player reads the story,
and looks for the objects that the characters are seeking to
help them on their way. There are six chapters to each
story. To unlock a chapter you must find the right objects
scattered throughout the Catalog. To acquire the objects,
kids play terrific minigames, earn points, and get the
needed items.
