What Parents Need to Know
This review of Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure was written by Chad Sapieha
Parents need to know that Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is based on the direct-to-DVD movie of the same name, and that it is appropriate for a similar audience -- assuming that audience can read. There is no violence or any other form of mature content in the game, which consists mostly of text-based conversations and fairly simple puzzles. It also has a positive message about friendship, and how you should never take friends for granted.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about games geared for girls. Many games made for girls are about fashion and simulating relationships. By contrast, this game puts little girls in the shoes of a character that is adept at designing and building things, and, consequently, has players working on similarly themed puzzles. Did you notice the difference in tone? Did it have an impact on how much you enjoyed the game?
- Did you play this game because you had seen the direct-to-DVD movie? This game is an example of cross-promotion, a concept families might explore. Can you think of other cross-promotions?

What’s the Story?
Is It Any Good?
Suitable for any little girl old enough to read the game’s text-based instructions, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure offers up a charming little story and wonderful cartoon-like graphics that closely resemble those of the film. Its puzzles, which include such activities as putting together pieces of a picture, rubbing the screen with the stylus to stencil blueprints, trying to remember specific directions, and blowing into the microphone to blow away pixie dust, are fun and shouldn’t prove too taxing for its designated audience.
It is, unfortunately, a short play. Longevity will likely be achieved only through the create-a-fairy-mode and by going online to share your creations with others in a safe, Disney moderated environment. Still, it’s good fun for young girls while it lasts.
