Dear Parent:

, we know how children love to take control of playtime,
creating their own fun adventures and making their own discoveries.
That’s why we created the Voyager Adventure System™ a system of
interactive learning products that empower children while learn-
ing, and spark their curiosity for more.
The Voyager Adventure System™ delivers a personalized learning
experience where fun, interactive adventures come to life with
incredible realism. Children just point and touch to explore ten
feet of colorful, scrolling landscapes that are filled with cool
sound effects and vivid imagery.
Each Voyager adventure uses revolutionary technology that
actually tracks your child’s progress and remembers where they
have traveled on their learning journey then responds and adapts
to keep the adventure new and exciting.With Voyager, children
control the adventure and decide where they want to go - no
two adventures will be the same!
Adventure Packs are expandable accessories that allow the
Voyager Station to deliver new stories and educational activities
to keep children constantly engaged. Each accessory has over
20 games that teach important skills such as reading, math and
problem solving. With new Adventure Packs, the learning and fun
won’t end.
