I really enjoyed playing this game. The graphics are excellent, the scenery is excellent, loved the rainy weather throughout the game and snowy weather in the bonus game, the puzzles were not too hard and not too easy, the companion miniature doberman was great--overall great game as usual for Mystery Trackers games. I do wish there was at least one additional location to play. The game seemed to end too soon. But the Bonus game was nice and long.
I recommend this game!

I can't enjoy this game with such a horrible picture. Grainy, blurry, whatever you want to call it. Also did not like the kiddie voice and music. Might be good for kiddos, but not me.

I really liked the storyline and graphics. To me, the game seemed focused mostly on gaining inventory items to open other inventory items by way of puzzles instead of HO scenes, though they are in the game. The puzzles were fun to solve. There are lots of areas to explore and this game included a map indicating an area of interest to help you remember places to return with your newfound inventory. The music was perfect and I didn't feel the urge to mute it one time, but was actually relaxing. The bonus game is pretty lengthy with a totally different setting--an amusement park. I rate it four stars instead of five because I would've really liked to have had more HO scenes. A really good game and glad I purchased it.
I recommend this game!

This game is full of HO scenes, and the puzzles are easy. One puzzle seems bugged (puppet painting), so I had to skip it, but the rest of the game was easy and relaxing. At first it seems boring, but as you keep moving forward, it becomes much funner to complete. You don't really have to think much. If you need a game to relax with and that won't frustrate you, this is one. The bonus section was just more HO scenes and a handful of easy puzzles in limited areas.
I recommend this game!

Great snowy/wintery graphics and interesting storyline. It wasn't too easy and wasn't too hard. Ok, I love hidden object challenges much more than the puzzles. This game is loaded with puzzles. I mean LOADED! But, I found a new interest in working puzzles just b/c of this game. They were actually fun and not frustrating! The storyline and anticipation of what was coming next kept me at it. I didn't get frustrated and quit. I was determined to get this one done in three days, which I did. The extra bonus game play with the collector's edition is worth it! So glad I got this one. I really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed playing this game. It wasn't frustratingly difficult and the puzzles were pretty easy for the average person. It was relaxing and engaging, which is what I search for in a HO game. What I loved most was all the hidden object areas. Negatives: I didn't like the journal. It very rarely helped in my investigation. The music was also monotonous and I had to mute it several times. But the game was fun. Like a good HO game, you have to search various areas to obtain your inventory to get from one level to the next. It was worth buying the collector's edition because the extra game play incorporated areas that made you wonder why they weren't activated in the original game play. Loved it!
I recommend this game!

I loved the graphics and scenery in this game. It's one of the qualities that draw me into the game, along with the story. The story was good. I had to consult the walkthrough a couple of times. Got stumped quite a bit, but if you're patient it isn't hard to figure out the puzzles.
I recommend this game!

This game didn't require a strategy guide. The clues weren't difficult to put together and puzzles weren't too outrageous. I loved the story too. Great!
I recommend this game!
