The game's format is actually more reminiscent of ''VideoGame/TheClueFinders'' than previous games in the ''VideoGame/JumpStart'' series, which includes the older version of ''[=JumpStart=] 4th Grade''. Instead of a WideOpenSandbox, there are a series of areas that you advance through. The two main areas have a FetchQuest, the first with gems to open a secret passageway and the second with clues to the identity of the villain. The final section of the game is a RollercoasterMine in which you chase the villain to the lost treasure.

* NewOldWest: Although set in modern times, the game's setting has a definite Western vibe. The mine apparently dates back to the days of TheWildWest, all three suspects wear Western garb, and much of the background music is heavy on the banjos.

The "safe" version of ''[=JumpStart=] 4th Grade'' that replaced the more terrifying and memorable ''VideoGame/JumpStartAdventures4thGradeHauntedIsland''.
Our nice "safe" plot concerns the town of Sapphire Falls, where the historic Sapphire Mines are thought to contain a lost treasure. Recently, a mysterious creature has shown up and started scaring everyone away from the mine. Here to investigate are Sally and T.J., a pair of {{School Newspaper News Hound}}s, plus their HeroicDog Gizmo. Will they be able to crack the case as well as find the lost treasure? Only if you know your fourth-grade subject matter!
The game's format is actually more reminiscent of ''VideoGame/TheClueFinders'' than previous games in the ''VideoGame/JumpStart'' series, which includes the older version of ''[=JumpStart=] 4th Grade''. Instead of a WideOpenSandbox, there are a series of areas that you advance through. The two main areas have a FetchQuest, the first with gems to open a secret passageway and the second with clues to the identity of the villain. The final section of the game is a RollercoasterMine in which you chase the villain to the lost treasure.

* AdventurerArchaeologist: Technically she's a geologist rather than an archaeologist, but nevertheless Gillian Gonzales is portrayed as an adventurer in the ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' mold, complete with fedora.
* AgentMulder: T.J. believes that the creature is real
* AgentScully: Sally is skeptical about the existence of the creature
* DialogueTree: You speak with the three suspects this way. You meet them over the course of the game, but you can always warp back to your conversation with them by clicking on their picture in the photo album.

* MinecartMadness: The final level is a mine car chase
* MultipleEndings: The identity of the villain is randomized each time you play. {{Downplayed}}, since after the reveal of the villain, the rest of the ending is always the same.
