Uncle Albert was a
little eccentric. Some thought that he may have been a genius.
And some thought that he was a little unusual because he spent
much of his time doing useless things such as raising insects,
counting stars and building useless machines. Kids thought that
Albert was awfully nice. He was a great storyteller. He always
wrote his stories and experiments down in a book. He called it
his 'Secret Album' and he was never seen without it. It was said
that, inside the album, there was a hidden treasure. Some thought
that the treasure was lost. After finding his magical album up in
the attic, you may think differently... Welcome to Uncle Albert's
Magic Album! Inside the Album is where your adventure takes
place. As stated above, somewhere in the album is a secret
treasure, but it won't be easy getting to it. The treasure will
free 'Tom', a small lizard, that was accidentally closed up
inside of the book by the absent minded Uncle Arthur. You will
have to explore all of the pages of the Album to reach your goal.
You will also have to answer riddles, avoid traps and open secret
passages. There are tools, animals, insects and clues to help you
solve the puzzles and mysteries. But look out, there are dangers
along the way.

A unique approach
Uncle Albert's Magical Album, an award-winning international
bestseller, is unique in its approach to teaching science by
emphasizing the importance and value of experimentation and
exploration. Many of the puzzles in the Album have multiple
solutions, and students are free to solve them in any order. There
is no one "right" answer or "right" way to explore. Students must
think creatively in order to find and use the animals, objects and
tools necessary to unlock the secret pages. Everything that the
students solve will take them one step closer to discovering the
Uncle Albert's lost treasure.

thefamilycorner.com : "Uncle
Albert's Magical Album is a very different type of adventure
for children. One that encourages exploration and
experimentation while moving from one page of the Album to the
next. Extremely captivating and exciting, this interactive
adventure is very nonlinear. There is no one way to find the
treasure. The rich illustrations, realistic graphics and
beautiful music combined with the nonlinear format make this
title stand out as a true 'One of a Kind' program!
