DubluClic - In the house of surprises (Code: P97)

DubluCLIC - it is a new concept, a different programme. A new product line intended for the children in elementary school. Everybody will try his best, either easy or difficult, and the children will be happy for having succeeded to carry out the task assigned by the computer, each of them according to the power of his mind. They will learn and they will wish to become better, they will make searches and they will learn, they will fail, they will persevere and finally they will succeed. They will eventually turn out to be the children of our days, dynamic and full of surprises.

Welcome to the House of Surprises!

You have seven rooms to explore. In order not to get lost, you may use the map in the upper-left corner of the screen. But first of all you have to answer the phone by clicking on it. You will receive a task by phone. You have to search for the required ball in all 7 rooms.

The place where you find the ball is different every time. The search is full of surprises: pillows blowing up, the shirt walking as a phantom in the room, the mouse showing up in the parents' room, etc. Click on the places where you think the ball may be hidden or on the doors if you want to go in another room. Once the ball found, you will receive a life for the final game and then the Fortune's Wheel will take you to a domain chosen at random. You will receive a task. If you will carry it out, you will receive another life that will be useful for the final game. The lives won during the game can be seen if you click on the chest in the upper-right corner.

The fields for the tasks are:
• sagacity, attention, observation games,
• mathematic games,
• activities preparatory for geometry,
• various information from different fields which would make the children reason.

You will receive two more tasks as well by means of the phone. Then you will have the possibility to search for another ball that would allow you the access to an original chapter "INTELLIGENCE AND PRACTICAL SKILLFULNESS". Here, you may learn how to build something technical. Things that you may create in the real world, such as a little boat (whose engine is made up of an egg) which can be put to water into the bathtub, an electric cell made up of a zinc-coated plate and a water and salt solution in a glass jug, another electric cell made up of a ..potato, or the "Mexican" in the jar of pickles.. Things that the child does not learn in class, but which indirectly provide him with information and which can be a source of ideas for the teaching staff. The access to this chapter is optional; if not wanted, there is a direct access to the surprise game.

The fields for the tasks are:

• Creioco
• Cubulex
• Umbrici
• Rebus
• Cub Construct
• Did you know that...?
