Scholastic Media Introduces ‘I SPY Adventure’ on VTech’s InnoTab Tablets

I SPY…a brand-new way for kids and families to experience the fun and learning of the celebrated brand from Scholastic Media!

Scholastic Media will give fans an exciting new way to play I SPY when the celebrated creator and producer of award-winning multiplatform content for kids and families introduces I SPY Adventure, its first title for VTech^® InnoTab^® tablets. I SPY Adventure brings all the age-appropriate entertainment of I SPY^™ to life in a whole new way, as it launches young players into engaging, brain-building quests and takes them through fun interactive riddles, puzzles and games. Created, produced and developed by Scholastic Media, the innovative new title – the latest release in the company’s best-selling I SPY interactive franchise, will be “spotted” at retailers nationwide this August, just in time for back to school.

“We’re very proud to introduce I SPY Adventure, our first release for the VTech InnoTab family,” said Leslye Schaefer, SVP Marketing & Consumer Products, Scholastic Media. “Created distinctly for the InnoTab platform, I SPY Adventure transforms the distinctive play patterns of the iconic I SPY brand into a completely dynamic and immersive gaming experience that kids and parents alike will want to spend time with again and again – anywhere they go!.”

“We are very excited to introduce the hugely popular I SPY brand to our InnoTab learning tablet range for the first time,” said William To, President, VTech Electronics North America. “This title is a strong addition to our extensive Learning Lodge library, especially as it supports the slightly older 4-7 age range, and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing engaging, educational content that makes learning fun for kids.”

With I SPY Adventure (SRP: $24.99), players embark on exciting learning adventures that challenge them to match, find and sort objects across multiple games, while helping to build their problem-solving, logic, vocabulary and visual discrimination skills. Recommended for kids ages 4-7, I SPY Adventure features multiple ways to play, including:

• Riddle Rush: Players solve I SPY riddles by searching for objects in photorealistic scenes with various kid-pleasing themes, including cars and trucks, crafts, colors, outer space and more
• Pattern Quest: In this fast-paced game, players look and listen for a pattern and then find the object that completes it
• Oops Hoops: Players figure out what the objects have in common and then sort them into hoops with other similar objects
• Adventure Box: Players unlock a treasure box full of I SPY objects and find the matching pairs

Every stimulating game in I SPY Adventure features 50 levels to be conquered and unlocked – each more challenging than the next! Players also encounter “power-ups” and other surprises all along the way. And, once they have successfully completed a level, they can replay it at any time.

The new I SPY Adventure game from Scholastic Media is compatible with all InnoTab systems.

Since the first I SPY book, written by Jean Marzollo with photographs from Walter Wick, was published by Scholastic in 1991, the program has expanded to include 49 million books in print. The Emmy^® Award-winning Scholastic Media television series, also based on the books, is currently available for streaming on Netflix and Hulu. In addition to the newest release for VTech, the best-selling I SPY interactive franchise includes product offerings on platforms such as LeapFrog’s Tag Learning System, Leapster, Leapster2 and Leapster Explorer, Nintendo Wii^™ and DS^™, as well as apps for iPod touch^®, iPhone^® and iPad^®.
