This is a great little game. Pushes you to finish and definitely is not a given you will get three stars every level. The levels get very challenging and make you think about which approach will get you there fastest.
I recommend this game!

Great seasonal game! Done well. I've been disappointed in games lately because the HOS and story lines are pretty much same-ole same-ole. This game has new and unique parts and I loved playing it.
I recommend this game!

Great graphics! Interesting storyline that was not the same-ole, same-ole. HOS were straight-forward and without additional put-the-pieces together; but they were so well done I don't think you will mind. Resume/reset button was redone on this Elephant game and it removed the possibility of hitting the wrong button.
I am not a big fan of the bonus games [although, I usually buy the Collector's Edition (CE)]; but, played this one and highly recommend others buy the CE just to be able to play it. Well work the extra $ because it rounds out the storyline and was a great little game all on its own.
I recommend this game!

So glad I did the trial of this game - it grabbed me from the first introductory scenes and I bought the full version quickly. Refer to this as "high-end" because the video parts of the game that show the train going to New Atlantis and the elevator going down to the dig-site are as superbly done as any high priced game run from a box. There were just the right amount of puzzles for me and it was a treat to find many new puzzles that I hadn't seen in other games. Very good HOS. LOVE the map; and because there are so many locations, the game even highlights locations where things need to be done. Use the map - it will help you appreciate the game for the gem it is!
I recommend this game!

Between running back and forth through the scenes, the totally confusing ending, and the dog that has no purpose; this was a real disappointment. ERS games are my favorite and I always buy their games after playing a few minutes of the trial. This one started out very well but got more and more unrelated as it went on. Maybe my game skipped a step but I have no clue how I got to the final scene and still have no idea what happened to to the dead girls.
I don't recommend this game.
Virtually crime-free, the Topley Police Department's statistics for solving crimes are... embarrassing. Turn the department around!

This game is very relaxing (to me). One of those I play often when I am tired of more challenging ones. It is on the level of a "no-brainer" and sometimes I want that. To sit on an off-day and just play a game that challenges some times and quick play-through at others; this is one of those games. One of the best solitaire games offered with a little twist that you have to choose who the perpetrator of a made-up crime is.
I recommend this game!

Been playing Big Fish Games exclusively for many many years and I would rate this as one of my all time favorites. Wonderful graphics, good story line, ended in such a way you are satisfied. The version I played was the Collector's Edition but believe this version would be just as good. This would be well worth a credit.
I recommend this game!

Enjoyed this game. A common remark in many reviews is that people are getting tired of HOS games that make you click back and forth between scenes. I agree with them 100%. This game groups the challenges into smaller areas (the doors). The HOS are a bit different - which was also nice. I'll definitely buy the next House of 1000 Doors when they finish it.
I recommend this game!
