A.D.A.M. Life's Greatest Mysteries is an educational interactive CD-ROM game.[1] The title aims to debunk myths about the human body, mind, sickness, and other topics.[2]

A.D.A.M. Life's Greatest Mysteries is a combination of two earlier titles, A.D.A.M. The Inside Story Complete, and Life's Greatest Mysteries.[3] A.D.A.M. Nine Month Miracle, A.D.A.M. The Inside Story, and A.D.A.M. Life's Greatest Mysteries were bundled together in the A.D.A.M Back-to-School Pack that was sold in mid-1996.[4]

In critique, the Sydney Morning Herald felt the game wasn't comprehensive, but would instead offer a surface understanding that would encourage young players to learn more.[5] The Independent thought it was a "useful adjunct to multimedia encyclopaedias".[6] The New Castle, Pennsylvania News praised the game's engaging animation and graphics.[7]
