Pizo Egypt

What it is and what you do with it: an educational mini-game - set off on a journey across Egypt, play simple games/solve puzzles (e.g. 'ride' a camel, solve pattern puzzles to uncover some hieroglyphs etc) to discover Egypt landmarks.

What we liked: the concept. Fun artwork and animations. Good variety of simple activities. Ease of use (but please see the note below). Narration/spoken instructions.

What we didn't like: only linear navigation (plus: if you fail at any stage you have to start the game from the beginning). The arcade games (camel ride/boat trip/flying carpet) may be too challenging for the target age group.
