Kids'
Mission: Stop the Virus from Spreading
Daughter of a brilliant scientist, Darienne Clay finds herself
shipwrecked at sea after a university research vessel meets with
disaster. Luckily, she washes up on the shores of an abandoned island.
While searching the island, she stumbles upon the reason the island is
abandoned. A military biotech experiment went awry, infecting the
island with bizarre creatures seemingly fused from nature and
technology. Now, the 'experiment' threatens to spread into the ocean.
Darienne
assembles a team of crack scientists and inventors for a return to Xeno
Island to search for clues and a way to end the threat. As part of that
team, you'll need your gaming skills and brainpower to crack the codes
protecting the virus and its origins.
In Missions
1--5, you and
the team land on the island and try to decipher the mysteries found
around every corner. You must break the code to bypass a security
system and access the Research and Development Facility. Using math
skills that grow as you investigate the island, you'll check energy
readings, crack codes, strap on a jet pack, and fly through the trees.
