would be distributed. Illustrations were designed by Anouk Noël, while the dialogues were written by author Gilles Tibo. Tibo wrote tie-in books to accompany each game – as the player progressed, the events would be recorded in the Flight Logbook or Activity Log in the form of a storybook. Players could read the story, colour in the images, and print them out. Each game included a preface by Gérard Mordillat. Singer-songwriter Luc de Larochellière wrote two original songs for each title that ran in-game. The songs could be played by inserting the game discs into a CD player. Activity sheets were also provided with each game to supplement the resources found in the game and reinforce the subjects taught. For Explores the Weather, the developers collaborated with Radio-Canada meteorologist Ève Christian. Two titles were packaged with the Geosafari games Geosafari Knowledge Pad Math: Multiplication & Division and GeoSafari Knowledge Pad Math: Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages into a bundle entitled Math & Science Excelerator Grades 3-6, which contained the World Book encyclopedia as an add-on.

In their 2002–2003 annual report, Telefilm Canada noted that "many thousands of units" of Mango Plumo's Earth Adventure had sold in Quebec and abroad. Weather Adventure Discovery Education thought the "charming" and "fantastic" title achieved its educational and entertainment goals despite having a slightly slow and confusing interface. The site thought the adventure game puzzles of Explores the Space and Explores the Weather were difficult, but that the science lessons were "highly original", additionally praising the titles for their "gorgeous graphics" and "stylish songs". Piedad Bullón of PCWorld España thought that the success of the didactic game revolved around its ability to provide clear and enjoyable explanations of weather phenomena, thereby fully immersing the player and asking them to apply scientific concepts in a real world context. Additionally, Bullón commented on the "very funny" protagonist Mango Plumo, as well as the "compendium"
