Totally Spies!: Swamp Monster Blues Sam, Clover, and Alex -- the 3 underage espionage agents that comprise the elite Totally Spies! unit -- are called upon by their bosses at the World Organization of Human Protection (WOOHP) to take time out of their busy teenage lives and investigate reports of monsters in the Louisiana Bayou.

Swamp Monster Blues is an educational puzzle game. There are two types of challenges: mini-games within the game, and math/logic puzzles to be solved with pen and paper. At various junctures in the game, the story prompts the player for a code that can only be obtained by solving a specified puzzle in the workbook (distributed as a PDF file along with the game). Then, there are 8 minigames to challenge the spies, including an alligator hopping game similar to Frogger, a maze game, and a word ladder game. [source:mobygames]
