It would be a crime to miss this superb Web site.


parents & educators say

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that each mystery takes a while to read through, research, and solve. The teacher's guide suggests that each can take up to an hour. Impatient kids who are just looking for arcade games should go elsewhere. Kids who like quizzes and trivia will be very happy interacting with this site.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
The site is hilarious. Parents will get all the word play and jokes (a Washington informant is known as "Deep Trout,") but kids will get enough of them to want to spend lots of time with the FFFBI. Judging by the correspondence from fourth and fifth graders (in Field Reports), the site is a hit.

good for a while
I think this website was very good. The only issue was that there are only 7 games to play, and once you have played them, they are kind of boring to play again. I did really like the games though! 3 1/2 stars

 
Wonderful Wonderful!!!

The site is fun, but not for everyone.
There is virtually no inappropiate content, but it is limted to some very mild peril refrences. The reason I recomend this for 9 year olds is because anybody under 8 or 9 will not lioke the website's text-heavy games, but any kid who likes a mystery or challenge will enjoy. they will also like how the story can turn several ways, increasing replay of levels. Overall: 9+ iffy 5-8
