Volcanic Panic V2 

Dive into the world of numbers! Develop mathematical thinking strategies and build a firm maths future! Fun and maths go hand-in-hand in this curriculum-rich, single or multi-player board game adventure that draws children into thinking mathematically with confidence and competence. 

Exciting adventure game scenario: Your plane has crash-landed on a volcanic island that's going to blow at any moment! Race the other players around the island game board to gather the most fuel canisters so you can be the one to escape in the jet pod when the island blows. 

Superbly designed 3D graphics, constant positive feedback, second chances, and exciting game play motivate students to progress through a comprehensive range of over 7,500 stimulating maths problems covering 7 maths content areas in 26 levels for ages 5 to 15+. 

The impressive multi-player option means the whole family can play at the same time, each at their own maths level! Every player will find a level and style of maths questions to challenge and stimulate them.

What's New in Volcanic Panic V2?

Volcanic Panic V2 takes learning to a whole new level with heaps of fantastic improvements for teachers, parents, and kids as well as a great new look and feel. Volcanic Panic V2 future proofs your existing investment by maximising forward compatibility with new and upcoming Windows and Macintosh operating systems.

Future Proof Your Volcanic Panic Investment 

Future Proof with Volcanic Panic V2 on Windows Systems!
Volcanic Panic V2 conforms to Microsoft Application Standards to give maximum compatibility with Windows operating systems and servers, including Windows XP, Vista, the new Windows 7, and Windows Servers 2003 and 2008.

Future Proof with Volcanic Panic V2 on Macintosh Systems!
We understand that Apple may no longer support older applications in upcoming releases of Macintosh systems*. Volcanic Panic V2 is now Universal Binary to ensure maximum forward compatibility with all Macintosh systems, including Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6). Future-proof your investment today by taking advantage of this opportunity to upgrade to Volcanic Panic V2. 

* PowerPC software is emulated through Rosetta. Rosetta emulation is slower and more error-prone when compared to Universal Binary, and is provided by Apple to support older, non-standard software. 

Simultaneously Manage Student Details in Multiple EdAlive Titles Using IULs!

Several EdAlive products use IULs or Integrated User Lists. IULs are lists of users and classes that are shared across several Version 2 EdAlive products, including BRAINtastic! V2, Volcanic Panic V2, Words Rock V2 and the upcoming Volcanic Panic V2*. 

Kids and classes** created in any one of the above titles will automatically be available in all the others. This streamlined data integration drastically reduces administration time! 

* Ultimate Maths Invaders V2, Spelling Force V2 and Typing Tournament V2 once released, will still require their own individual students lists. 

** Classes are only available in the School Standalone and Network versions of Volcanic Panic V2.
