This is just the kind of Hidden Object Game I love. Beautiful tropical scenes, sometimes bright, sometimes soothing and always-challenging hidden objects. Get ready for an aerobic session for the eyes. The Hawaiian music, though repetitious, can be so relaxing, you run out of time! No boring 'match three' mini games or 'silver polishing' for a half hour--sorry fans of 'True Love'--, just lots of things to find in time periods short enough to make you work. I hated to see the game end.
I recommend this game!

I loved so many things about this game....the scenes were charming, the hidden objects were challenging just to the degree I like and I loved seeing the map of the estate. In fact, play would be perfect except for one thing: those annoying hidden objects that must be dragged to another spot in the scene. You MUST fix them so they stay put. I spent over five minutes trying to attach the fireplace tools, for example. It was very frustrating and made me dread similar objects coming up in future screens. But other than that, it was a great game and so much fun, I kept playing through the afternoon.
I recommend this game!

This is a game for seniors (70+) or for those who want no level of challenge. Some of the hidden objects were so easy to spot it was embarassing. But the visuals were bright and cheerful and the tid-bits of information about old London were interesting even to someone who had lived there. I read the reviews before purchasing, so knew what to expect. Give this as a gift to your elderly parents or grandparents. I'm recommending the game for a specific audience.
I recommend this game!
