Both downloads are the free edition. The .bobo file opens in BoboCreate Desktop.

The editable file imports in BoboCreate Free 0.3.19 or later. It uses one of Free's three design places, and its own artwork does not count toward your three uploaded images. Older versions of the app need BoboCreate activated to import it, so update BoboCreate first.

The cover: piano keys and a music folder, with the title Piano Note Detective, Step, Skip & Repeat Trail

Case 1: the story and a Learn box about direction

Tasks: two trails of notes to read as up, down or the same
