Rating:  - What fun.
This game is one of our favorites of the Scooby Doo Computer games. My son has played this one repeatedly over and over and now his little brother (age 5) is playing it.
This game is probably good for children starting at about age 5 with an adults help to understand some of the puzzles and on up to about age 9.
You child will have to catch Scooby snacks, solve puzzles; such as matching rugs, and run from monsters. It mirrors what a Scooby Doo Show has in it and yet it ... Read More
Rating: - our favorite of all the Scooby Doo Case Files
We borrowed several of the Scooby Doo Case File games from our local library. I was trying to decide whether to purchase them. My son is a HUGE Scooby fan, so I figured if the games are easy enough for a 3 year old and can hold his attention then I'd buy them.
First, the graphics and voices are true to the tv show, so this game really holds my son's attention. I like that there are 3 levels of difficulty. We stuck to the "spooky" (easy) level.

Rating: - Good, clean fun and the kids like it too!
We have had the Jinx at the Sphinx for a year now. My 6 and 8 yr old sons both still enjoy it! There is some learning, a mystery to solve, and three levels of challenge to choose from, so the game grows with your child. I'm very pleased with it, and I am going to buy another Learning Company Scooby Doo game as soon as I'm done writing this review!Scooby-Doo: Jinx at the Sphinx
Rating:  - Okay, but won't keep attention for long
You get what you pay for....my kids enjoyed this and played it constantly for 2 weeks. Then they went back to Reader Rabbit which they have enjoyed for months.
Rating:  - Thank goodness it was a gift!
I wouldn't buy this for my kids. Thankfully it was a gift for my 8-year old daughter. She tried to play it on her own at first and couldn't really figure out what to do, I guess she didn't read or listen to the instructions. The instruction file was enormous and complicated to follow for the specified age group. I played it on my own later to see what in fact this was all about. I solved the mystery and actually enjoyed myself, then my daughters(4&8) played it and the mystery was exactly the same ... Read More
