Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Jake's Treasure Trek is a preschool-friendly side-scrolling platformer based on the Disney Junior show Jake and the Never Land Pirates. Kids make Jake run, jump, climb, and swim in a race to get ahead of Captain Hook, trying to collect enough gold doubloons to get Tinker Bell's lantern and find the key to a treasure box. The game and each new world begin with a movie introducing the plot and goals. Beating Hook in each level is pretty easy, but even if kids lose, they can replay the level.

What’s It About?
JAKE’S TREASURE TREK includes three worlds -- the jungle, the desert, and a volcano island, each with 15 challenges. Jake needs to collect as many gold doubloons as he can while staying ahead of Captain Hook. He needs to dodge obstacles and collect power-ups as he runs, swims, and flies and sometimes even zip-lines down a vine or slides down a mountain. Kids have to beat Hook to the finish line to unlock the next level, but they can replay levels if they lose or to collect more points.
Is It Any Good?
Excellent graphics and right-on voice-overs and narration from the show will entertain Jake and the Never Land Pirates fans, and play is easy enough for preschoolers to navigate it successfully. The cool features and power-ups add enough excitement and challenge that older kids will enjoy it as well. Jake zip-lines across jungles, swims with fishies, and slides down mountains, gaining speed as he goes -- and delighting players. With three worlds offering 45 levels, there's quite a bit of content to explore, too.
