Designed for kids ages 5-9, JumpStart Escape from Adventure Island is the second title in the JumpStart series of adventure-based learning games for the Wii™. This action-packed game invites players to use their explorer skills and brain power to find a way to escape a mysterious island after a crash landing strands them there! As players race to collect the pieces needed to repair their blimp, they’ll need to ward off the pesky fur balls known as Punk Punks and navigate 3D worlds both above and below the water. Along the way, players can practice over 150 math, reading and critical thinking skills—the fun way!
Key Features
- A magical 3D learning environment packed with games, adventures and hidden surprises.
- Seamlessly integrated learning games that encourage players to practice math, reading and critical thinking skills to earn virtual rewards.
- Wii Remote™ technology that allows players to run, jump, fly, swim, roll and dance across a virtual island.
The first thing we did once we started the game was create Little Music Man’s Jumpee Avatar and dress him up. Then it was time to start his adventure!
We immediately explored the Scuba Hub. We visited the Manta Ray, where we had to find specific numbers (it was quite fun to “swim” around and float on bubbles), and Little Music Man’s Jumpee performed in a fashion show. This was one of my favorite games (and easiest for Little Music Man to play). The Jumpee would dress up appropriately based on the criteria that was given (e.g. a green outfit), and when the Jumpee hit the marks on the runway, the controller had to be moved certain ways to earn points.
The more points we earned, the more sand dollars we could obtain, which could be traded in for a variety of things—clothes, items for the Jumpee’s house, and more!
Little Music Man also had fun squashing Punk Punks, and dancing in Foot Frenzy.
He has yet to master the use of the Wii controller so I still help him out quite a bit, but that doesn’t prevent him from having fun!
There are just so many more games that Little Music Man has yet to play. Each time he plays Escape from Adventure Island, he experiences a new adventure that’s just as fun as it is educational!
