This is why you need to put the distributor name in the description.

I love the Boom Zap games. They're different and may not be for all, but I really enjoy their games. Loved how beautifully done this one was. The scenes didn't look like scenes from every other game. Lots and lots of puzzles. Some I have to admit were a bit odd and left me trying to figure out how anyone could understand what you were to do, but mess with it long enough and you could figure it out without cheating or skipping. Not a lot of HO's and I love them, but the puzzles seemed to be more the theme. I think for the Senior mind it is a good thing to do these puzzles because it keeps your mind stimulated. All in all I really loved this one.
This game is done beautifully. Excellent visual qualities. Some new concepts on puzzles and hidden object games. I never worry too much about the storyline, so could do without a lot of talking that you can't click through. You could click through most of the dialogue here. All in all I enjoyed this game and particularly the fairytale like concept.
I recommend this game!

Too much talk, to much back and forth.

Could have been a good game. Way too much talk from the characters that you couldn't stop. Back and forth constantly from one spot to the next just to pick up one item. Obviously stretching out the game by having to constantly be on the move. Had potential, but lacks.
Everything was great. Loved the new puzzle changes. A good mix of puzzles. Storylines are all much the same, how much more can be done? This one makes it enjoyable even though it is so often the theme.
I recommend this game!

I'm use to playing the game, not listening to a story. A story at times that just rambles on and on. If you like nice graphics and pretty, pretty colors you'll like this game. If however, you want to play and not constantly have to wait for them to shut up, think twice.
I don't recommend this game.

I've only reviewed one other game as being a poorly put together game. This one just seemed like someone was trying to come up with a game, but instead thought this up.
I don't recommend this game.

Played it out because I accidentally purchased before reviewing. The whole game wouldn't take more than 30 minutes if it wasn't for the tedium of the footsteps walking from one room to another on the floor plan map. I had to turn the music off it became so aggravating. Love hidden object games, but this one is not worth your dime.
