The people behind Fooz Kids clearly understand the concern parents have about the unpredictability of the internet and have created an interface that unlocks its many wonders to children but keeps it safe within a controlled experience.

This time the Egyptian theme resonated with testers who enjoyed the construction aspect, especially since it was leading to the promise of a fun game. The game itself is a quick play experience

One of the favorite games for younger children this testing period, Who’s Riding The Bus proved itself to be fun, strategic and a great vehicle for enhancing children’s problem solving skills.
