Headline Harry and the Great Paper Race is an educational video game by Davidson & Associates based on newsroom journalism. The game has a "find-the-clue" format in the vein of titles like Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.
Caitlin Ackelson reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Headline Harry is a newsworthy "scoop" in educational software. Funny and compelling, it gives kids a reporter's-eye view of U.S. history. With its treasure-hunt approach to learning and adventure game format, the game provides an entertaining approach to U.S. political and cultural history and the fast-paced, superglamorous world of journalism."
The Los Angeles Times described it as "Carmen San Diego Meets the Front Page". Compute! felt the game was "Complex, but not frustrating".
