I liked this one a lot. It's different. It's not your everyday HOG. Good story and great art work. It's worth playing just to see all the scenes. It can be hard to find all the hidden objects, but the game gives plenty of hints. There's a good variety, such as finding objects, placing scene patches on the scenes, even collecting insects and putting them in jars. HOGs can be so much alike; it's good to find something a bit more imaginative.
I recommend this game!

So many games labeled as "hidden object games" actually have very few hidden object searches. You spend most of your time putting together tools or playing puzzles. This has those too, but has lots of HOs. Nice art work and color. My only complaint is that the hint for where to go next was a bit confusing.
I recommend this game!

I played this game three times all the way through, though it was the toughest match-three game I've ever played. The hardest level was 3 step 7. If you can get through that one, you can make it to the end. The trick is to get control of the clock, which tends to run you out of time a lot. Make sure you click on all the clock icons that come up, as they give you extra time. And don't make any stray clicks on the screen, since you may be penalized time for that. It's a good game, but not an easy one.

This game had some surprises, making it more interesting than the typical hidden object game. The creative storyline takes you through some similar scenes, but during several historical ages, using a time travel device. And sometimes what you do during one time period creates changes in the later periods. The game could have been very confusing, but a clever system of guides and clues keeps you on the right track to your goals. One feature it had that I always prefer in these games is a map to jump from one scene to another, instead of the tedious one click at a time movements from one place to another. The graphics are good, esp. in the HOS.
I recommend this game!

Very nice game, in every way. The hero must seek a way to free his Chinese village's dragon, which will save his people from the terracotta warriors. Very attractive graphics; easy to medium difficulty puzzles. Especially good for those who like a lot of hidden object searches.

One of the best I've ever played. The graphic art work is awesome--I found myself staring at each scene. The story line is very good, with a fine ending. Difficulty is medium; the strategy guide helpful when one is occasionally stuck. Comes with a bonus chapter.
