Screenwise Verdict

This is what educational games should be: focused, clean, and actually teaching something useful. You run a law firm, clients come in with problems, and you figure out if their constitutional rights were violated. Match them with the right lawyer, win cases, learn amendments.

The good: it works. Teachers love it, kids retain the info, and there's zero commercial nonsense. The bad: it's short and feels like exactly what it is—a homework assignment dressed up with simple game mechanics. Multiple reviews say 'I loved this but wished there was more.'

If your kid is studying the Bill of Rights, this is a solid 30-minute supplement that beats reading a textbook. If they're looking for actual gaming entertainment, this ain't it. Think of it as the educational equivalent of a well-designed worksheet, not Minecraft.

Age Fit

Best for ages 10-14 who are studying American government or civics. Younger kids won't have the context to understand constitutional concepts; older teens will find it too basic and short unless specifically reviewing for a test.

WISE Breakdown

Wholesome

Civics education game with positive tone focused on helping people understand their constitutional rights. No inappropriate content, models helping others through legal representation. Clean interface with cooperative learning goals.

Imaginative

Structured educational gameplay with matching mechanics and scenario-based learning. Limited creative freedom—you're following predetermined cases and constitutional frameworks. More puzzle-solving than open-ended exploration, though the variety of cases provides some engagement.

Safe

No ads, no in-app purchases, no online chat. Single-player educational game from iCivics (reputable civics education organization). Users interact only with the game mechanics. No manipulative loops or monetization concerns. Straightforward, safe educational tool.

Enriching

Teaches Bill of Rights and constitutional amendments through practical application. Players learn to identify which rights apply to different situations, match amendments, and understand legal reasoning. Multiple teacher reviews praise its educational value. Solid civics learning wrapped in game mechanics, though entertainment value is limited.
