This game seems to be under-rated. No it's not for everyone as it isn't as sophisticated as the current new generation of the games being released that are so popular.
High percentage of HOGs and I thought the puzzles were different from the usual run of the mill. Seemed to have alot of imagination and creativity put into it. It's a calm, relaxing & entertaining game. I almost didn't download/purchase it because of the low rating but I'm glad I did!
I recommend this game!

After getting the impression it was one for the children - the more I got into it, surprisingly the challenge was there. I played the Beginner mode and the hints were helpful not just for finding an object but for navigational assistance. The puzzles were different and could be skipped after about 30secs.
Alot of "handholding" if you need it and the Magic Book pretty much guides you along the way which helps because there isn't a map or a Walkthrough. Only negative I can add is that some of the objects were impossible to find and even after selecting the hint button I still thought it was somewhat obscure.
If you want something extremely compelling and challenging. then this game's not for you. Any game that's not dark and sinister is for me. Basically a cute, fun relaxing holiday game.
I recommend this game!

Although this is a fairly simplistic HOG game, I enjoyed it, Mainly in spite that it IS a pleasant game that isn't tainted with destroying evil spirits and searching for kidnapped souls and so on.
The graphics are clear and includes quite a few puzzles that are great - some easy and some challenging. Alot of moving around into different areas and rooms which adds to the interest. Pretty much ticks most of the boxes for me as a good interactive game & story but probably not for the experts.
I recommend this game!

This game had so much potential but impossible to play because the objects to find were so small - smaller than small! I loved the concept of the game as I love crime stories but after playing for the first hour, I've decided, reluctantly, not to buy. Pity! We all love a challenge but this is beyond a challenge. Even though I'll click to recommend - this game isn't for me.
I recommend this game!

The developers created an intelligent & well thought out HOG / Puzzle Game.
The graphics are so clear.
I was surprised how addictive it was and with the level of challenges it's a buzz to complete each chapter especially as they get harder.
The mini games are unique.
Appreciate the skip feature as some games were way too hard.
A good straight-forward "go to" game when a change is needed.
I recommend this game!

Every now and again a game comes along that is everything you want. This was it for me.
Beautiful graphics
Interesting storyline
Short and sharp cutscenes
Challenging HOGs
Intriguing puzzles (that can be skipped)
Inventory items are relative to the current chapter and just challenging enough to work out
Just can't fault this game - loved it and will definitely play again.
I recommend this game!

Agree with most reviews - went from scene to scene solving only hidden objects. A few puzzles which were quite good.
The graphics were supurb and very clear and crisp.
Seemed to have a high potential but not a really gripping storyline and after paying the demo only - not really worth the buy.
Have recommended but only to those who really like hidden object play.
I recommend this game!

At first I thought this would be a game just for kids but I gave it a go just because it seemed to be something different from the doom and gloom type games.
What a pleasant surprise! It is challenging enough - although some objects are fairly easy while others were tricky and there is scope for figuring out puzzles and problem solving. (I have a short concentration span so these short and sharp game suit me just fine.)
Is probably not for the die-hard gamers who need a real challenge but is a fantastic light-hearted game for all ages. Love the LOL characters. Two words - Good Fun.
I recommend this game!
