About this game

The Jolly Post Office is an educational game for young children based on the books by Janet Ahlberg and Allan Ahlberg.

The game is naturally set in a village post office and consists of a series of mini games. Most of the games have one title in the CD manual and another in the game's README file (hence the aka names below);

Front Counter: This is the game's main menu. From here players can access mini games and configuration settings.
Mend Broken Parcels (aka Broken In The Post): A simple jigsaw puzzle.
Sort Letters (aka Match The Mail): A Concentration mini-game.
Send Postcards (aka Where's Jack?): This teaches simple geography, maps, countries and their flags.
How Many Stamps (aka Parcel Post): A maths game where players have to select stamps to the correct value.
Personalise stationery: Players design their own stationery.
Design Room: Here players can create their own stamps and save them in their stamp book.
World Stamp Book: Here players can view stamps that they have made. There is an internet feature which allows an online gallery to be viewed by other players.
