All Game Guide said "Somewhere, the fun factor got lost, turning what could have been an excellent game into one that is only a little better than average".[5]
MacHome Journal said "Sound effects and the kids’ dialogue are both wonderful, and the variety in the games in the Activity Challenge ensures that kids will be captivated by at least one game, if not more. Very few kids (or adults) that I know can resist these adventuresome babies".[6]
