I loved this as a kid! And also played it for a couple days as an adult recently ha. Even though I don't play much games anymore.
Some of the logic puzzles were actually still very tricky. Was very impressed.
The game is amazing, the way it combines fun, learning, and engaging kids without ever feeling like it's a lesson. Seriously my 5 year old now has a basic understanding of set theory because of it.
It feels like educational games peaked in the late 90's and early 2000's and everything since then has been a regression that spends too much time trying to explain things to students rather than letting them discover and explore for themselves.
