(based on demo) I enjoyed playing this simple HO game. Very relaxing. Puzzles were easy but fun. I skipped through the conversations, not really caring about the storyline. Not a lot of bells and whistles but an enjoyable way to pass some time playing a game without taxing your brain
I recommend this game!

This has to be one of the strangest, weirdest games I have ever played in this genre. If I remember correctly the first one was just the same. Just not my style of HO game play. I didn't feel engaged at all and I found game play to be quite boring.
Apparently out of 4 reviews I am the only one that feels this way so play the demo and decide for yourself.

Hidden Objects, challenging puzzles, and devious riddles await!

Just like 100 Doors but I enjoyed this one more. The graphics/scenes were much better. I only played the demo so far so not sure where the storyline is going or if there even is one. Not all levels are easy, some require some thought.
Other than the hint ability there are no instructions. All thought process. Fun game.

I guess I will never find Jesse. I couldn't even finish the demo. When I first saw this game, it looked like it had promise but that was short lived.
The game felt disjointed, it didn't flow smoothly. There were times when I had no clue what to do next and had to use the hint button. That wouldn't happen in a well developed game.
It relies on too much darkness dispelling, made the game too dreary for me. And the glowing cat eye...silly and useless.
The whole cat theme is cute but that's where the enjoyment stopped for me.

This was fun game, definitely worth playing! Cute storyline based on Little Red Riding Hood. The game played smoothly, no errors or glitches. Nice visual and audio. I recommend this one!
I try to keep my reviews short, giving enough info to help others. Why people type a novel breaking down the game is a mystery to me, unless they get something for those lengthy boring reviews
I recommend this game!

This game was an OK game. I have played better (but not lately) and I have definitely played much worse.
It's cute and I enjoyed playing. Puzzles weren't bad, some I skipped because they were the type I don't like and some because explanation was horrible.
I noticed a couple of times, an abrupt switch between scenes. And the endings (main game and bonus game) seemed like they ran out of time and had to cut them off.
I understood the story line but it could have been done better.

Overall, I recommend playing the demo and decide if you want to go further.
One thing to note, IMO, is that the cost of these games versus the quality of what you get, is ridiculous. These games are way OVERPRICED. If BF is going to charge us these prices (even the member price) then BF needs to start providing us with better quality games.
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed the previous games in this series a lot more than this one. It doesn't seem like much thought was put into the storylines and I found them boring. Game play was ok but could have been better. Feels like this game was thrown together for a quick release. Developers could have been a little more creative with this one.
Side note: I wish game developers would offer an alternative to the mini games/puzzles such as match 3. I don't enjoy the minis anymore, boring and redundant.
I think the game is worth playing but I wouldn't purchase this at regular price, only on a big sale. Play the demo, it may be enough for you like it was for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game, which hasn't been the case with HOPA games in a long time. I had no problems downloading or playing, There isn't a lot of jumping back and forth between multiple scenes which was nice. Fun HO scenes and quite a few. Thankfully this game wasn't mini-game/puzzle heavy. The morphing items and puzzle pieces weren't difficult to find but you did have to search for them. And if you miss a morphing item, the game will let you return to the scene to find it.
A game worth playing IMO

This game is long like other reviewers stated but that doesn't mean it's 5 star worthy.
Pros:

Graphics and audio were great
Storylines made sense and were enjoyable

There were too many puzzle/mini games inserted into this game. The games were repetitive, nothing new. I skipped 90% of them. That resulted into just a few HO scenes and most of them were the interactive type. The map didn't indicate which rooms had actions available. I had to use the hint button a lot to figure out where I needed to go. There is no guide to help find the collection items/morphing items if you're having trouble finding any. You cannot create a profile so you only get to play the game one time. So your kid or SO can't play it. The Bonus room is a joke...more mini-games, no HO scenes, the typical useless wallpapers, and VIDEOS?? Why?
Developers, come up with an alternative to the same old boring mini-games and puzzles. BE CREATIVE. And stop using them as fillers to make the game seem longer.
If you can get this game free with points or on sale/BOGO I would recommend playing it. You do get a ton of game play, many chapters with creative storylines. But DO NOT pay full price or member price for this game. It's not worth it. All the 5 star reviews are solely based on the length of game play. And length isn't everything people.
I don't recommend this game.

First, my demo only lasted about 10 minutes but that was long enough for me to know that this was a pathetic excuse of a HO game. Who cares that they added the up and down screen? It doesn't make up for the poor graphics and childish game play. Skip it.
I don't recommend this game.
