Parent notes
This is a strictly single-player or local co-op game with no online interactions. Ensure screen brightness is adjusted for the intricate black-and-white art style to avoid eye strain.
The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
The shared seek-and-find format turns the screen into a collaborative picture book where parent and child naturally search together, though having only one input cursor or touch target means one person is often relegated to pointing with a physical finger on the glass.
Skills this builds
- Dividing the screen into quadrants to systematically scan busy maps together
- Taking turns with the mouse or touchscreen while the other person reads hint text
- Bouncing ideas back and forth about where a cryptic clue points in the landscape
Try this together
When you get stuck on a character like Classy Jess, have one person read the clue aloud while the other only clicks the specific objects mentioned.
