This little game appeared to be a gem! I played it on Windows 8.1 and it played smoothly. You have to really search for objects, but that was fun! I also enjoyed the storyline. Very nice to help lifting a curse that affected generations. Good work devs! I enjoyed every minute of this game and I'm looking forward to a next!
I recommend this game!

This is a very good M3 game, in my opinion. I've played it in a time I had a lot on my mind, and it did make me concentrate on the task at hand, I can tell you that! But... you need to be able to click very fast and have good eyesight to be able to see which match to make in the midst of all those colors and glimming stones.
I had a lot of fun with this one!

This Boolat production is all I want in a Hidden Object Adventure Game. Beautiful, sharp graphics, nicely challenging minigames, a fairytale story with a happy end and a good bonus game that tells you more about one of the characters.
Bravo Boolat! Looking forward to your next game!

The economical crisis has hit us pretty hard here in the Netherlands, so I'm not buying too much games anymore. For Hidden Expedition Smithsonian Hope Diamond however I've made an exception. This is such an excellent game in all aspects! Crisp graphics, interesting story, good level of challenge and nice background music. A 5 star game! I'm playing it right now and have a ball!
I recommend this game!

This really is a beautiful game. I've played it at my daughter's house a I was babysitting and I enjoyed it. The graphics are beautiful and clear, the story is interesting enough for a Hidden Object Adventure and the music is good, I didn't feel the need to mute it, which I usually do when I'm playing a game for more than an hour..
Thank you devs, for your good work!
I recommend this game!

Yes! I've finished the game! This gives me a bit of a triumphant feeling cause boy! .. this was a difficult game. After the first chapters I almost gave up because of the teeny tiny objects now and then, if not almost invisible, and the few hints that were given per chapter. But then I discovered a written walkthrough on another website and I found out I could print screens and make them bigger in my computer tekst program. These two little helps made resuming and finishing the game possible and I liked it too, also because of all the historical info (bit of a pity they changed the ending, but allright, you can't have it all :-) ) Anyway, I'm glad I played this first Hidden Mysterie, cause I', a fan of the series and wanted my list complete.
I recommend this game!

This is an excellent game from these developers! I really liked their series Mystery Stories and this CE is very well made. Beautiful graphics, enough Hidden Object searches to satisfy the fans of this kind of gameplay and nicely challenging minigames. Well done devs! The Bonus game was fun to play too and a nice ending for this story. Leaves you with a positive feeling!
I recommend this game!

It seems I'm in the minority here as I find this new ERS game just OK and not somehting worth 5 stars. They took over from the original 'Phantasmat' devs and produced this kind of a sequel, although it has a standalone story.
So we get the usual ERS stuff. Professionally made, I give them that but nowhere any surpises. Good thing though they kept the 'Phantasmat' possibility to switch from a HOG screen to a Match 3 to get the search jobs done. Nice.
All in all just an OK game to me.

This game about Alexander the Great or, more precise, about three artifacts he owned, according to the story, is fun to play. The graphics are crystal clear, the HOG scenes too and the objects fit the historical locations. The minigames are OK, not too challenging in Normal mode, can't tell about the Hard mode. Speaking of which, it's nice being able to choose between modes. So overall, this is a good game, worth to spend money on.
I recommend this game!

Well, this wasn't a bad game. Enough different locations to go to and certainly enough H0 scenes to satisfy the fans of this genre. The story was interesting enough also, but the ending! That was so disappointing I regretted having paid the CE price, All the more so because there wasn't a real Bonus game. There was just this Hotel location that was named as one. Really a bummer.
I'm not satisfied. The only thing that could make this feeling less is the coming out of the second part very soon now! (this game has been released 17 month's ago now!)
I don't recommend this game.
