Very different game for a HOG. It does have a lot of running around all over the estate to find and then use the items, that is the only reason it's a four instead of a five. The puzzles were a little different than the usual ones you see.
Very interesting the way the real Elvis home movies were added into the game. I'm not the biggest Elvis fan, and yet I really enjoyed seeing the videos.
Scenes were clear and colorful. Game was perhaps a little short. Took about 4 hours. Overall a pretty fun game.

I love hidden object games and this one certainly didn't disappoint. There are lots of items to find and the screens were typically bright and pleasant.
Enjoyed the extra task of finding 3 stamps each page. Not too easy but definitely can be found.
Slightly gruesome at the end in the fact the post man is murdered by a dark society and you just see blood on him and he describes how he was tricked into being there. His spirit tries to help so nobody else is harmed.
I don't like dark and creepy games and this is definitely not one of those.
Disappointing ending. Left you hanging for the story to continue before the lost person is found.

I started this game and really enjoyed it for the first couple of hours. Lots of hidden objects and some really funny and cute characters which make the game fun.
Unfortunately, there were about 10 screens that were repeated over all 15 levels with just about the same items to find. It got really boring really quickly.
It had a lot of great things going for it, but come on, put in a few other items so it's not the same things we're looking for over and over on the same scenes.
Maybe for 2.99 it's worth it. I wouldn't play it a second time.
Really disappointed.
Really disappointed.
I don't recommend this game.

This is one of my favourite games. Lots of hidden object games but also other puzzles just to add variety. I really enjoy the little informational tips they give when you go to a new building, very interesting.
This game is bright and attractive and is just a light, pleasant, no stress game. There is some back and forth, but the map and the special help is great if you feel a little stuck. I will play this game again, and again.
I recommend this game!
Discover a wonderful Love Story in this fantastic Hidden Object game! Travel back in time and relive a beautiful tale.

I loved this game and didn't want to put it down. What a romantic and sweet story.
Pleasant music and scenes. I was so excited to see "Love story the beach cottage". It is kind of another story but in the same vein as the first. Really pleasant and nice.
Hope they come out with another one.
I recommend this game!

This game is quite fun despite the fact that it isn't very difficult. It is a mixture of hidden object and mahjong type of fun. There is more challenge in the mahjong games.
The characters are really cute, and the screens are very bright and attractive. This would be a great game for a older kids to play, due to the fact that the graphics are uplifting and pleasant.
I really enjoy this game and I go back to it whenever I feel like it.
I recommend this game!

This game will be played over again, as it is one of the most fun games I've ever played. It's good for teens as well as adults as there is nothing really gross in the game.
It's not a heavy action game, I enjoy missing object games and it's a little more involved because you sell your items to help with the castle.
The music is so relaxing and beautiful. It makes it very pleasant to take time for yourself, with a fun game, pleasant music, and nice bright, colourful scenes.
I recommend this game!

I tried this game but found it lacking. Immediately I noticed the spelling and grammar had not been checked before putting the game out. That just looks poor.
It's very predictable and if there is no challenge. I found the pages to be quite dark so that a person would have to squint to see some of the items. I found it boring and not fun at all. Some might enjoy this game, but it's not for me.
I don't recommend this game.
