Description official description

Miss Spider's Tea Party invites children 3 to 7 years old to enter children's book author David Kirk's world of color and wonder. Mini-games provide hours of fun with a healthy serving of age-appropriate basic skills practice. Miss Spider's friends want to attend her party, but they each have a problem that needs to be resolved. It's up to the child to play the games and help all the friends make it to the party.

When the child succeeds at all mini-games, Miss Spider thanks the player with an invitation of their own -- something to print and cherish. Each game has an easy, medium and difficult level. The game contains a lot of 3D images and animation that capture the unique look and feel of the book.

The mini games:

• The Beetles River Cross Game The Beetles want to attend Miss Spider's party, but they have a wide river to cross. Help them get from shore to shore by jumping from rock to leaf to tadpole to branch without falling in the water.

• The Crickets Band Game The Crickets want to attend Miss Spider's party, but they need to form a band. Player matches each musical sound with its instrument. Match the whole band and they'll play a tune.

• The Bee Flower Matching Game The Bees want to attend Miss Spider's party, but they have to pollinate flowers. Each Bee has a flower in mind. Choose the ones they're thinking of so they can finish up and head to the party.

• The Hiding Butterfly Game The Butterflies want to attend Miss Spider's party, but they must find all their friends. The colorful Butterflies are cleverly hiding in several scenes. Find them all so they can come to the party.

Not a good game

The Good
Some of the graphics are cute. Fun ideas, which occasionally succeed at entertaining. My daughter actually enjoyed two of the mini-games (the butterflies, and the bees).

The cutesy audio on some kids games can be seriously annoying for adult helpers. This game is not as bad as some, though not great, either.

The Bad
This is a game for ages 3-7, and the difficulty level is all over the place. The arcade sections are way too difficult for a small child (on PC at least. Playstation controls might be more manageable). The puzzle sections were very easy on easy and quite hard on hard, but a couple were too repetitive and boring. It doesn't seem like they actually tested this game on any kids.

The graphics were muddy, on my PC at least, making some of the puzzles very unclear (e.g. black ant tunnels through brown dirt were hard to see). There is not a lot of attention to detail in the graphics, though the drawings are cute.

Oh, and it is very short.

The Bottom Line
Kids have to help Miss Spider's insect friends get to her tea party by completing 8 mini-games. Some are arcade style, and some are memory based. Probably more suited to ages 6-7 than 3-4, but in general, not recommended.
