Escape from Adventure Island by Jumpstart: Wii Game

While the first game from Jumpstart for Wii, Pet Rescue, we designed for younger children, their second release targets ages 5-9 years old. The goal in educational Wii game Escape from Adventure Island is to find pieces to repair the blimp needed to escape the island. And like Pet Rescue, games and education are seamlessly intertwined so players hardly realize they are learning. After personalize the Jumpee and Treehouse home, the adventure begins as users navigate the island and ocean too. Jumping into the Scuba Hub and diving deep was our favorite part of the game. With math and reading skills built into the game, you can erase some of the guilt as your child picks up the Wii remote while you cook dinner or fold a load of laundry. Using the remote extensively, users swim, jump, fly and roll around the island using either practice or story mode. We also like the ability to select levels at each pit stop for an even more customizable experience.
