Best hidden object game I've played in a long time. Great graphics and storyline. I loved it because it came with the 'Goals' chapter in the Journal. The hidden objects were challenging and they actually looked like what you would expect them to look like. I cant stand HOG games that have a list of objects and an object doesn't look like what they ask for. Example is when a thimble is bigger than a orange and they make the orange look like its brown. The music was not annoying in this game. The puzzles were challenging but not impossible to do. I started this game and couldn't quit playing it until I finished it. If I had a 'Favorites' tab in my Game Manager this game would be saved under that tab. Great game. Thank you.
I recommend this game!

Great background graphics. Good storyline. Hidden object art poor. When you show an object that needs to be found it should look like that object and not a different color or shape. Very misleading.
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoyed this game. It's one of the few games that I didn't skip through the dialogue because the dialogue was actually funny and not haunting. I even read the credits that were funny but went by to fast for these old eyes to keep up with all of them. The artwork was very good and had some very well hidden objects through out the game. I really enjoyed the storyline even though I dont think it is suitable for kids under 13. I don't think little kids would understand what's going on. I would like to see more games by this talented group.
I recommend this game!

I downloaded this game and Nightfall Mysteries: Asylum Conspiracy. Both were too difficult to keep me interested. I spent 35 minutes and could only find the prop door and a gas can. I couldn't find the things it said to look for in the notebook. I also couldn't find a 'Hint' button to show me if I was getting close to anything I needed. The graphics weren't bad. I wouldn't recommend this game to people who are new to HOG's. I'm usually an expert on HOG's but this one made me feel like a beginner.
I don't recommend this game.

I downloaded this game and Nightfall Mysteries: Curse of the Opera. This one was slightly better than Nightfall Mysteries: Curse of the Opera but still too difficult to keep my interests. I like challenging games but not when it takes 1/2 an hour to find objects in one scene.
I don't recommend this game.

The music is absolutely fantastic. I loved the storyline and how the game wasn't cheap on actual hidden object puzzles. It had a lot. The game did throw me off with the foreign names of objects to find but thank goodness there isn't a clicking penalty and I learned some new words. The only real 'con' I have of the game was that I would've liked it to be longer.
I recommend this game!

I found this game boring and irritating. I couldn't the book twinkling every time I completed something. The story line was boring to me. I enjoyed have a goal tracker to remind me what I was looking for. The graphics are nice and the actual hidden object games were nice but not enough of them. I didn't care having to go to one destination, turn around and go all the back to another destination just to find 1 or 2 things, then have to go all the way back to the destination I had just come from. I did like the mini games. To me, those were the most entertaining parts of the game. I liked the unlimited hint button. That will be nice for newbie HOG players. I'd recommend this game because it has a lot of things HOG players like but it didn't satisfy my tastes. Deleted after playing it.
I recommend this game!

I played I SPY: Mystery and loved it so much that I played it from beginning to end in one sitting. Then I came here and bought the rest of the series. This game is a real nice change from the 'dark' HOG games and you can take all of the time you want to find the objects. No annoying timers, which is real nice since there's no hints in the game. If I got stuck finding an object I'd move on to another chapter and come back later with fresh eyes to find what I was looking for. I love the riddles, sounds, graphics and most of all the animation each found object makes when you've clicked on it. So cute. I'm recommending the I SPY series to anyone that likes a refreshing and challenging hidden object game. The I SPY series are now my favorite HOG games.
I recommend this game!
