The National Library of Medicine launched at the end of 2006, the interactive game Toxmystery, designed to help children between ages 7 and 10, to find out the hazards of chemicals at home. To play the game, children must go through the different rooms, along with Toxie, the cat, and they have to answer every one of the questions asked.

i-Education Holdings (i-Ed), from its office in Fairfax, Virginia, helped with the library in translation, editing, localization and dubbing of the Toxmystery site, into Spanish. Therefore, the educational site not only will reach American students, but also Hispanic children, the largest minority in the country.

The Hispanic version of this game, presented both online and in a CD-Rom, will be launch very soon to the educational and scientific community. Its expected that this game will benefit 10 millions of kids who belong to Hispanic families, which could participate in the Toxmystery and learn about the hazards of chemicals at home
