I have purchased over 300 games over the years and I've ran into a couple duds, but most of the time I feel like I got a fair deal, especially when I can try the game out before I buy it. This game could've been completed within the one-hour trial period easily. I was enjoying the game, although it's not a real challenge like Myst or any similar thinking games, and couldn't believe the game was over so quickly. Feel like this was some sort of disrespectful joke, or like they added this game for a buddy and don't care that their customers will certainly be ticked off. It's been a while since I had time to play, but now I'm able to sit back and enjoy some challenging puzzle time. Renewed my membership, purchased this game, and immediately cancelled my membership after feeling ripped off. I would ask for a refund and continue my membership, but I don't feel like wasting my time. I just want to warn other players to expect about 60-90 minutes to finish this game. It's not remotely worth the money. After all the years of purchasing games, and genuinely enjoying the site, I'm wondering what the heck happened here. Rant over...lol
I don't recommend this game.

Seems like most collector editions are very similar and employ the usual characteristics, i.e., collection items, morphing object, interactive maps, etc... but this game has made the same ole stuff interesting again by creating new variations of puzzles, which are not real difficult, but still enjoyable because they're new and require some thought. I think I've purchased well over 300 games over the years, due to many surgeries and having lots of time to kill while I heal, but this is one of my favorites....probably ranks in the top 5 or 10. I'm glad I bought this one and I'm sure most people will feel the same. Nice job Epix!! Enjoy...
I recommend this game!

If you enjoy cute games and have a sense of humor, you will enjoy this. I like to read several reviews of a game before I try it and there is always one category I check when I read a persons review, especially if the review is bad. Nearly all of those people chiming in with terrible reviews only post reviews when they complain and nearly all of them are negative...so I completely ignore them and chalk them up to people with miserable dispositions and no sense of humor. Look for yourselves and you will see that most people, who give 1 star, will have given 1 star to 60-90% of all the games they review and are only trivializing and complaining about the efforts of hard working artists who only want to entertain people...Do yourselves and the developers a favor when you read the reviews...hover over the names of the persons review and take note of their fairness. Are they giving credit where credit is due or are they simply using their reviews to constantly complain and are never satisfied. Have fun today!

This game is pretty good but I just want to make a point. When I read the reviews, the first thing I do is click on the name of the reviewer. If their average review is in the 2's I completely ignore anything they say because its very clear that they are impossible to please and only take the time to complain...This game has some great features and some different puzzles. The plot is a little confusing but I don't play to enjoy plots, I enjoy the puzzles...do yourself a favor and ignore the reviews from people who constantly complain and just play the demo yourselves....have fun
I recommend this game!

All I will say is this: I have purchased over 300 games on bigfish, nearly all are hidden object, and this is likely the best game I have seen to date. We have become use to collector editions and the extra features so it's hard to be impressed anymore but this one is an amazing game with absolutely great puzzles that take thought and creativity to solve...It's huge and it's fun...BUY IT!!!
I recommend this game!

This game is great for those who enjoy mini games more than hidden objects scenes. There are a few HOS, but most of the game involves using your inventory to complete puzzles. Lots of new games and very fun. I enjoy hidden object games, but not when the whole game is HOS after HOS...this game makes up for those times when you wish there were more mini games...hope to see more like this.
I recommend this game!

This is a great game! I love the fact that it has objects to find, but not plastered with HOS's. The story line is great and the real actors are a nice touch. It's the perfect combination of hidden objects, mini games and an adventure game. Wonderful job by the developers...keep them coming!!

I love games with lots of puzzles and this one delivers. The story line is also good and HOS's are not too hard and not too easy. Great game with map and task list. Well worth the price.

Great game if you like HOS. Some decent puzzles and a good strory line until the game suddenly and disappointingly ends.
I recommend this game!
