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.
