You have to appreciate the fact that the developers made this game for kids and still put in the effors, the small details, the voice acting, animations and making the puzzles engaging. The music and sound effects. It's so well written too you really feel like you're there
I played this game almost 25 years ago, but it somehow popped into my head this morning for the first time since then and I had to track it down. Somehow I'm remembering each and every line of dialogue and every scene as it appears. It's so strange how deep some childhood memories are stored. Absolutely loved this game in primary school!
I remember playing this with my sisters in the 90’s. So much fun, it was ahead of its time for child learning engagement. Thank you clue finders for happy memories with my sisters created because of this. I’m the youngest so my sisters would help me and we would get so happy beating the puzzles. Brought me back to a time where it was OK to be a kid. 20 years later and it still makes me laugh. Amazing.
I was watching this heard that laugh from the second interlude and instantly thought "this dude sounds like wario" I think they might have the same voice actor

@@charliec731 fun fact! I got to meet Charles martinet at a convention last year and brought my copy of this game for him to sign He not only did the mint line for me, he mentioned that it was a warmup line be did before a recording session
7:49 "This scroll tells of an ancient evil" :D "It tells of Set, the egyptian embodiment of chaos" :D "Whoever kidnapped your professor is up to no good" :D Wow after 5000 years nothing upsets this guy huh?
Anyone else feel Joanie got ripped off? Leslie got secret knowledge. The boys got actual powers and Joanie got what she already had. Come on Isis, you’re the goddess of magic and one of the most powerful Egyptian gods. You couldn’t think of anything better?
on top of that, what she got was more of a reckless bravado. Though technically, Santiago's powers weren't needed here. If Owen was able to fly Santiago up to push the pistons in, and not just get pushed back down from the force of Santiago pushing the pistons up, then he necessarily must have also had the strength to just push them in himself.
@James Toilet I would like to show people that have never played the game just to look at the big guy with the hammer and say "I want you to guess what this character sounds like, seriously take a guess of what he sounds like. Would he sound like Big Daddy? No. Does he sound like an angry pirate? No. Just listen."
This was the first ClueFinders game I played. In the beginning, I didn't understand it, but eventually I finished it. This is also my favorite ClueFinders game because all four kids are together the entire game unlike the other games where they split up. I still have the game today and boy does it bring out the nostalgia!. I have a computer with windows 10 and the game works with it.
I personally think it's the worst Cluefinders game. The tasks aren't nearly as fun. There aren't nearly as many and you have to do them so many times before you get the right items you need. It's way too repetitive. This was the only Cluefinders game that felt like a chore the get through.
I remember spending HOURS on this game back on the old family Windows 95 computer back in 2000 or so! I loved the music always felt so smart being able to beat the game when I was 6. :P
Been looking for this game for years. 33 years old and just brought back so many good memories. For the longest time I couldn’t even rennet what to search for.
I used LAPTRAP to get to my destination quicker. Also, a couple of characters I like in this game; Joni, Santiago, Leslie, and Sima, the fabric store owner. She's like the alter ego of Owen. XD And Socrates is so supportive of the Cluefinders.
I woke up this morning randomly remembering this game. My cousin and I used to play it when we were 9 and since then I’ve been fascinated with ancient Egypt! Then came Tomb Raider The Last Revelation, The Mummy and on and on.
Holy crap, my childhood. Chalk another one off the list of games I remember but the names I cannot! I remembered this game because of the kids gaining super forms and the villain being turned into a mummy. XD
So glad I came across this. All these years, I remembered this game but thought it was from jumpstart. So anytime I searched it couldnt find it. This is it for sure! Taught me how to do fractions.
Is there anyway I can play these games on Windows 10? When I was a kid, these games gave me a hard time and made me feel really dumb, but I had so much fun! Now that I'm 23, I wanna play these games to beat the CRAP outta it.
Im here for the nostalgia too. I was born in 1993 but I stopped aging inside & out around 20. I remember playing this when I was around 8-11 on the back computer (CompuServe era) then my little brother playing it later. Had to look for the name of this the hard way but now im here.
I got the Three Stooges parody and the EG Robinson parody, but are the other mice featured supposed to be parodies too? I mean the mouse ordering the Three Stooges mice sounds familiar, so.... Besides, we also have a Tallulah Bankhead cat and a Groucho Marx lion.
Egyptian gods and goddesses in stereotypical voices in the 90s? Makes me think Jesus Christ will be like "how ya doing there buddy pal? Swag man swag!"
jeezus christ it is INCREDABLE how much this is coming back to me the more I watched. Of the two cluefinders games I owned and played (4th and 5th grade) I think I spent way more time with the 4th grade one. I remembered Socrates clearly in my memory, but completely forgot Laptrap was a character (which is funny because this is the only game Socrates was in, I think? I completely forgot that he had a VOICE though) Man, the more screens I see, the more I remember having to touch the first statue in a specific order, helping the mice navigate the map (which I only now know that that trio are a Three Stooges parody), and that ugly as sin sphynx in the end game. (I HATED him and his smug ass remarks) GOD, I loved this game so much as a kid!
I don't know if many people know this, but Sir Alistair Loveless III is voiced by none other than Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi from the Mario series. You can even hear him sound somewhat like Wario or Waluigi when he laughs evilly.
Love this game. This, the movie The Mummy, and Stone Prophet were the catalyst to my admiration for Egypt. Also Thoth is a total badass. When he asks his baboons to show their appreciation I really just hear him say "Dance my slaves" 😅
Mouse convinced he's an ancient Egyptian. Flat out uses a French accent. Seems as legit as everyone in cairo speaking fluent English with perfect English accents. On top of that, Only the 3 stooges of mice could move 13 miles AND BACK within a few seconds.
i have fond memories of pressing the correct code on the statue after i first see it and cheating my way past the first section of the game. am i the one one who did that?
2:31:09. Thoth isn't just the embodiment of knowledge, he is the Egyptian God of Knowledge, Wisdom, History, Writing, and hieroglyphics. He is Ra's scribe, and writes down everything the god of the sun says and does.
I played this game so much that I learned all of the possible codes for the Cairo section of the game (the pharaoh statue), and then I would usually skip over Cairo, enter the statue, and skip to the gems quest. Life was fun.
I know right? I've been screaming at my screen the entire time he's been making sentences. I mean seriously? He tried to pass off "A man races over across and into the sea," as a proper sentence? WTF? Did he graduate high school? Because if English is his first language and he graduated and does not have any known learning disabilities, there's no excuse for this crap. This is ridiculous.
This was always my least favourite CF game, since it's so different from the others. It was also the one I played most because I couldn't always find 3rd or 5th grade, the two I liked most. As I recall, sometimes the clues work for the bird statue rather than the green pharaoh statue. I'm pretty sure I used the bird statue once. ^_^ Thanks for posting them. I miss these old games.
It never worked on the bird statue, but it eventually got to the point where I memorized all the possible outcomes for the statue clue, and was able to enter it early without finding the clues, skipping over Cairo's quest.
Oh my gosh I was I remember I used to play this game all summer when I was in 4th grade! It truly did make my brain work trying to figure out these games!😂

these games were tough
Someone prolly went to Egypt so we didn't have to 🤷♀️
This game is THE reason why I loved Ancient Egypt as a kid.
this game made me respect ancient egypt, things can get scary if you go looking for them!!!

Would anyone judge me too much if I said that I am 25 years old and I want to play Cluefinders?
No I would as well
I'm 25 and I'm gonna be drawing something from this game for Inktober, you're good. XD
Nope. I'm 29 and I'd love to be able to play these things again. Still have the CDs for the 3rd-6th Grade games on a shelf.
Caitlin Ward omg. No. I’m debating purchasing this now.
30 years old and I'm watching this bro lol
I am having so much nostalgia right now oh Lord.
Sam Bowling i only had 3rd grade adventure but still nostalgic
I'm late but same here mine miss my childhood days 😭

This was the only way I could play games as a kid with Asian parents back in the day. I don't regret it at all Cluefinders is a masterpiece.
Omg ME TOO!!
OMG BEST CHILDHOOD GAME EVER!!!!!
Played the game like 10 times never got sick of it
Neo The Catuber best childhood game? Were you fucking sheltered by controlling parents ...
I agree with you, I played this like a hundred times and I loved it
It’s almost overwhelming how much nostalgia I’m getting, I miss when life was simple
Can we appreciate for a moment the fact that the main villain is a rep from the London Museum? Such a progressively spicy dog.
I was watching this heard that laugh from the second interlude and instantly thought "this dude sounds like wario" I think they might have the same voice actor

1:32:12 when he laughs and then swallows the mint was the absolute pinnacle of comedy to me when I was a little kid. Love this game so much.
Leave it to Mario, amirite? (I'm being serious, though...)

Oh man, the villainy tropes are strong here.

"This scroll tells of an ancient evil" :D
"It tells of Set, the egyptian embodiment of chaos" :D
"Whoever kidnapped your professor is up to no good" :D
Wow after 5000 years nothing upsets this guy huh?
The Arabic in this game is somewhat accurate, glad to see it!
That’s interesting. This game is surprisingly well researched.
I love how Horus has like a Brooklyn or Italian-American accent 🤣🤣
He's probably inspired by Groucho Marx.
@@patricklee1633 Either Groucho or
Mario.
The cutscene at 2:27:37 was literally the hypest moment of my childhood
Them transforming was the most badass thing back in the day. Always preferred this game to 3rd grade cuz of it, though both were good :)
Anyone else feel Joanie got ripped off?
Leslie got secret knowledge. The boys got actual powers and Joanie got what she already had. Come on Isis, you’re the goddess of magic and one of the most powerful Egyptian gods. You couldn’t think of anything better?
on top of that, what she got was more of a reckless bravado.
Though technically, Santiago's powers weren't needed here. If Owen was able to fly Santiago up to push the pistons in, and not just get pushed back down from the force of Santiago pushing the pistons up, then he necessarily must have also had the strength to just push them in himself.
I always though Thoth's voice was freaken amazing.
Andrew R Rivera I took a quiz on which Egyptian god i am and I got Thoth
Thoth was my favorite character. This game spurred my interest in Egypt and the mythology.
same here!
Thoth also had the best voice out of all the non-cluefinder characters. That Stone Mason in the village was the most unfitting.
@James Toilet
I would like to show people that have never played the game just to look at the big guy with the hammer and say "I want you to guess what this character sounds like, seriously take a guess of what he sounds like. Would he sound like Big Daddy? No. Does he sound like an angry pirate? No. Just listen."
When I was in elementary school I became quite the Egyptophile and I think this game was one of the factors that influenced me.
Why yes, I agree there too on Thoth the Spelling god. ;) hahaha. He's nice but evil in his own ways hahaha. jk. he's proving peoples knowledge. :)

Holy SHIT the casual murder at 2:50:00 was for sure the best moment. Nobody said a word as he was killed in silence. Lovely.

He sound like wario
Remembering These Childhood Games Forever and Ever, I love reliving them.
Oh man, the nostalgia hitting hard!
Anyone notice the playstation buttons on the scroll @ 5:21 lol.
Circle, Triangle, Square, X, L1, L2, R1, R2 and the dpads lol.
Whoa, that is so unnoticable.
That's literally the biggest Easter Egg I've ever seen
So glad I came across this. All these years, I remembered this game but thought it was from jumpstart. So anytime I searched it couldnt find it. This is it for sure! Taught me how to do fractions.
Voice acting and sound effects were top tier
Ahhhhh.... Thoth's badass voice.... I want him as my language teacher.
I just played through this again for the first time in forever, still one of my old timey favs, especially the music! 😄👍
I'm just on a Nostalgia trip today. Got the remastered Zoombinis on Steam, and while playing it I thought of this game. Good memories.
The guy at 15:33 is so memorably funny. I've always thought he looked like Pluto and sounded like Popeye from the Popeye the sailor man cartoons.
Don't you mean Bluto? Pluto is a dog not a man.
Oh yeah. My bad. Can't believe I forgot.
the background music alone is enough to take me back....greatest game ever lmao
Gosh, i remember playing this game growin up. LOVEE IT! :) and its so educational too. I need something like this for my son when he gets older!
That sphinx around 2:29:30 has the best lines
dannymusic lol he's voiced by James woods and I think the evil guy was Jafar from Aladdin

10 Floors, 50 car garage, 250 watt stereo system. An ancient Egyptian temple with all the modern amenities. Priceless!

I remember playing this as a kid. Took me about a week, but I managed to complete it. Was enjoying myself despite sometimes guessing everything.
The sound effects and music still hold up to this day, holy cow I miss edutainment games
2:19:11 I think the sentence is supposed to say “A heron sprints across the stream and sand”
This game, I remember everything!
