Titanic: The Search for the Lost Fugitives (Codequest Adventure) - Tapa dura

"If your kids have begun to succumb to "Titanic" overload on this 100-year anniversary, this might just wake them up. There's no doubt that deciphering Morse codes, picking out hidden messages from dinner menus, and so on makes you feel a bit like Indiana Jones. The computer illustrations are decent, but it's the historical photos and artifacts that really bring this hybrid experience to life."
