There are 85 bugs in all, each habitat housing 20 to 25 different insects. Each habitat also showcases games and activities and presents two multimedia reports. Additional games and activities are available at the back of the bus. The main activity in the software is searching for the missing bugs. Ms. Frizzle provides clues on her clipboard.
Players listen to the clues and then click on the bugs in each habitat to obtain information.
When the players have obtained enough information to deduce which insect is the missing bug, they activate the insect net tool and capture it. Kid testers greatly enjoyed going on these hunts. Unfortunately, only eight of the 85 bugs get lost, so by the time kids have played the game twice, the missing bugs repeat. There are many other games to play within this software. Our kid testers were engaged throughout their time using the software and were captivated by close-up photography.
