Game concept: use character-driven mystery mini-stories to teach science, history and other subjects. As kids have fun posing theories, gathering evidence and assembling logic to prove "who done it," they acquire key learning skills.

Working with lead writer Sarah W. Stocker, Writerguy helped develop the bible for Jake and Jennifer Eagle and the other licensed Eagle Eye characters. He authored half of the 50 mystery stories in each game, and was instrumental in creating the series' lively style and inquisitive mood.

The game won many awards, including a citation of excellence from the National Parenting Association, and remains popular with kids (and their parents!) even today.
