"One for younger gamers, Cluefinders Year 4 Adventures is subtitled Puzzle of the Pyramid. It is, in fact, a two-disc package including a second title called Mystery Mansion Arcade. Puzzle of the Pyramid focuses on four adventurers - the eponymous Cluefinders. Led by a jolly professor, they jet off to Egypt to solve mysteries. They must achieve this by confronting all manner of logic puzzles, maths posers, geography conundrums and English tests. Along the way, the youngsters meet various characters, both nice and nefarious. It's all good clean fun, though, and the cartoon-style graphics are good quality throughout. The second disc retains the learning-through-fun theme, but with a rather more arcade-style presentation, as suggested by the title Mystery Mansion Arcade. There's a good selection of games, with most offering immediate gratification. Overall score ****"
