A Mars Moose Adventure: WalkAbout 1 - The Natural History Museum

A Mars Moose Adventure: WalkAbout 1 - The Natural History Museum is among the more than 100 Lightspan Adventure educational games that were distributed to American elementary schools in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Playing as a young boy, the player must help the museum's paleontologist complete a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton that's on display by finding the five missing bones that are scattered across three museum exhibits — the Southwest Room, the Rain Forest Room, and the Shipwreck Room. In each room, the player will need to complete various activities to find the bones, including matching animal sounds to the corresponding animal, taking pictures of animals with a camera, and playing three different variants of Concentration. Despite the game falling under Lightspan's Mars Moose Adventure series of games, Mars does not play a prominent on-screen role. His trademark blue antlers are featured as the active hotspot cursor icon, however. Part of Lightspan's reading and language arts curriculum, the game is geared toward children ages 5-7 and aims to teach letters, shapes, colors, and animal/wildlife vocabulary.
