My First Encyclopedia

About

My First Encyclopedia is a point-and-click educational game built around a digital tree structure. Each branch and leaf leads to clickable entries explaining objects, animals, and concepts through short videos. Kids navigate by selecting items in the tree, triggering animations and live-action clips featuring real children. The interface mixes simple visuals with sound effects and original music to create a playful learning environment. Over 50 mini-activities and puzzles are hidden throughout the tree, encouraging exploration between entries. This 1994 title became a staple for early computer-based learning, praised for its intuitive design and approachable tone. Community data shows it remains a nostalgic favorite among parents who used it to teach kids aged 3-8. With 575 entries and an hour of music, the game balances structured lessons with open-ended discovery. Its retro charm and focus on curiosity-driven learning stand out even decades later.
