What Parents Need to Know
This review of American Girl Kit: Mystery Challenge! was written by Jinny Gudmundsen
Parents need to know that this is a game based on the American Girl doll Kit Kittredge. While there are both a movie and book about this doll, this Nintendo DS game doesn't relive either version. This is a game about solving a series of mysteries, but unfortunately, it doesn't allow players much interaction in the process of being a sleuth.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about which of the six mysteries they liked best. What was the Great Depression? What did Kit's family do to get out of their financial difficulties? Do any of your relatives remember what it was like to live during the Depression?

What’s the Story?
Unfortunately, the gameplay is awkward. You move Kit by using the DS multi-directional controller, but to talk to someone, you must pick up the DS stylus to tap a person on screen. There are other actions that require you to put down the stylus and use the "A" button.
CloseIs It Any Good?
But the negatives are plenty with the most glaring problem that you have no interactivity when talking to others. The narrative just rolls along without any input from you. And all this moving around with little of no interactivity gets boring quickly
