Target Audience - 10+

  • There was some concern that the age range was too vague. I have, however, already used the 1983 text version with children from grades 4-6, and so believe that it is still valid.

  • From personal observations, most children coped very well with the programme (including all the typing) and generally seemed to enjoy playing it (particularly when using the teachers names for the suspects).

  • In comparison, the original game equates to the "Trainee" level of experience in this game, thus making this quite appropriate for this age range (10-12 years).

  • The enhanced features at the higher levels are designed to challenge the player in developing problem-solving skills. This will also appeal to an older audience (eg: parents who will play with their children).
