This game is a must for those who like HO scenes. Overall, it is well done but it did not "grab" me as fast as other games have. There is really no need for a map because you move from one group of small areas to another. This is a very good game for someone who is new to gaming.
I recommend this game!

This game has a good number of HO scenes with the right amount of difficulty.
The backtracking does not matter because there is a jump map. The hint button is a useful tool if you forget something from earlier on in the game.
Movement is easy and I think many will like the story line.
I recommend this game!

Navigation was fast and easy but NO MAP!
The interesting surprise was in the options:
Choice of 3 dfficulty levels
3 hint recharge times
2 skip times
There many HO scenes with a rather high degree of difficulty. Some of the objects are quite difficult to find so you might set th hint recharge to fastest.
I recommend this game!

I played the sample for only about 10 minutes before I decided to buy this game.
The graphics are excellent, the story line is interesting (but not for young children).
The few puzzles I played were a bit different but not too difficult.
I did not ecounter any hidden object games so it must be more dependent on adventure than HOS. I understand there are a few to play.
I cannot comment on the music because I normally turn it off before beginning any game.
I did not even wait to see if there was a map. Normally I only purchase a CE (collecter's addition) if it includes a jump map.
The look and feel of this game interested me so much I am willing to take a risk.
I recommend this game!

I loved the vending machine.

It seems I can't resist that impish little jester!
This is an enjoyable single edition game and worth the price (especially today!).
The story line is fun, there are many HOG, and the puzzles are a bit different and interesting but not overly dificult.
The only slight difficulty is in accessing the inventory bar. It seems to be a bit sluggish but it was not enough of a problem to keep me from tracking down that imp!
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed this game from the start. I usually begin by turning off the music but not this one. The grapics are beautiful. I am also partial to any game with a map (ESPECIALLY if we can jump from place to place). This one has every feature I like in a game with a delightful story as well. The cut scenes were fun to watch.
I will buy this one for sure and enjoy every moment! Thank you Big Fish and Elephant games!

In this game you are a detective once again looking to solve a mystery. There are three levels of play, the graphics are very good and you are kept busy. There are some HOS but not too many. The puzzles I played so far are not complicated or too difficult. I always like a map but so far did not see one in this game. The hint is helpful along the way. I liked this game and would recommend it.
I recommend this game!

I played for about 30 minutes and will most likely purchase this game. There are 3 modes of play, graphics are a bit cartoon like (which I enjoy for a change). There also is a map where you can jump from place to place. It is interactive and I found it interesting. Give it a try!

I only had to play for half the demo time to know I want to have this game. The graphics are outstanding and the hidden object games are different and fun. I don't usually care about the story lines but this game has me interested. The puzzles so far have been easy but they are different as well and I enjoyed them. This is a good one for gamers of all levels.
I recommend this game!
