Description / Review

The Unknown Variables series was Lightspan's attempt to create a Scooby-Doo like team of children that would take students on a literary quest in each adventure.

Disc 1, Masque Manor focuses on  four best friends who stay in a hotel built by one of the children's great-grandfather. Each room in the hotel is decorated to reflect the style of a great author. As you progress through each room, you'll read literary excerpts, take small quizzes, and if answered correctly, play some mini-games.

Trivia
  •  The Lightspan series have no real ESRB rating, since they were never released to the public. All games in the Lightspan universe are considered to be in the E (Everyone) or K - A (Kids to Adult) rating category.
     
  • The Jewel Case versions feature authentic PlayStation artwork, logos, copyright information and fonts, but they are still in template form. The SLUS numbers all read 00000 and there are generic place holders for other sections (i.e. 'Rating Descriptor' is located where an ESRB category should be).

  • The Unknown Variable Series is one of the rarest sets in the Lightspan universe, as well as one of the last sets.
