Charly L
Father of Victor, 5 years
"A fun experience with a good balance between interactive dialogue phases and gameplay. It's easy for kids to get to grips with, and Victor was totally immersed in the story from start to finish. In particular, he loved the maze and the animals to find in the forest."
"I really enjoyed the experience and I must admit that it made me want to take up English with my class".
