Released in 1993, EcoQuest 2: Lost Secret of the Rainforest is a continuation of Sierra's educational adventure series, crafted with the same dedication to environmental education and engaging gameplay as its predecessor. In this installment, players return as Adam, the son of an ecologist, who this time embarks on a journey to the rainforests of South America. The game is a testament to Jane Jensen's talent for weaving compelling narratives with educational content, much like her work on Gabriel Knight.

EcoQuest 2 expands on the environmental themes introduced in the first game, focusing on the preservation of the rainforest and the protection of its diverse ecosystems. The adventure begins when Adam and his father travel to the Amazon, aiming to document the rich biodiversity of the area. However, Adam quickly finds himself on a mission to uncover the Lost Secret of the Rainforest, a journey that leads him to discover the delicate balance of nature and the impact of human activities on the environment.

The gameplay retains the educational and interactive elements that made the first EcoQuest game a hit among younger audiences. Players navigate through beautifully rendered scenes of the Amazon, solving puzzles that teach important environmental concepts and conservation efforts. The game introduces a recycle icon similar to the first installment, encouraging players to think about sustainability and the importance of recycling in preserving natural habitats.

EcoQuest 2 has rich educational content, seamlessly integrated into the storyline. As players guide Adam through the rainforest, they encounter various animal species, learn about indigenous cultures, and uncover the threats posed by deforestation and pollution. The game does an excellent job of presenting these complex issues in an accessible and engaging manner, making it an invaluable educational tool for children.
