Busytown Mysteries - Android version

What is it/what do you do with it: one interactive story with extra educational activities based on Richard Scarry's books. 3 reading modes (with/without narration and autoplay).

Follow the story and play simple mini-games (e.g. a memory game in the Strange Ski Tracks Mystery). Tap the characters for simple animations.

What we liked: the story. Excellent illustrations and animations featuring characters from Richard Scarry's books. Narration and voice acting. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Good reading options. Ease of use.

What we didn't like: interactions are limited to very simple animations. Note about in-app purchases: one story (The Strange Ski Tracks Mystery) is available for free in the 'freeview mode' (the story must be downloaded every time you want to play it). There are two more stories available as extra purchases.
