I did find the hidden object scenes to be well done and enjoyable, but no plot to speak of and very short, I played through 11 levels in less than an hour and there are only 25 levels, this included me playing most hidden object lists in order from top to bottom, finding all the keys, lobsters, and cameras and using no more than one hint on any level and on no more than 1/3 the scenes.

I found the game so boring, that I erased after about 6 puzzles. Just not interesting at all, if you haven't play a game like this before make sure you try the free hour first, because I couldn't stand it.

This is one of the best games I have ever played, great story line and the plot twists and turns with excellent cut scenes and intrigue. A good variety of puzzles w/ very good HOS; also very good voice overs and acting.

I tried playing this on the free one hour and did about 25 mins before I quit and deleted it. The last HOG I played was Dreamland and it was great; this one just lacked any good features and was very clumsy to play.
Outstanding, great game play and challenging tricks and twists. Got stuck on a couple of levels, but got help from the forum and got 3 stars on all levels both regular play and expert and had fun doing it. Great game, that's all I can say.
This was a fun game concept and very interesting play with some solutions quite demanding, but it was short. I had played through 1/2 the game in the first 1 hour free play, was a bit disappointed when the game came to a close at lvl 60, although the last 5 lvls were almost impossible to solve; still haven't figured out one of them. Give us 3 times as many lvls to solve and it would be a great game.
I played it for about 25 min and spent most of the time trying to figure out what to do next, I had 2 helps and when they were gone I had to try to find 10 hidden "?" in HO games, which I could not find the last one in either HO game, so no help and as far as I could tell I wasn't going to get any more until solved the ? HO game. Not good graphics (fuzzy) for a detailed HO game, so I pushed the kill button and went to find something else.
I thought the game played well in some sections, but some of the HO games were absurd, with completely hidden objects or objects so tiny you wouldn't associate them with the searched for object, example a rubric's cube not much bigger than a pea w/ only three colored sides to identify it? Many of the puzzles were OK, but no explanation as how they were to be played, I had the walkthrough up the entire game to figure out what I was to do in the puzzles, and finally a lot of unrelated looking for the step in the game with no hints as to where the step would appear in the maze of rooms. Sadly I wouldn't recommend this game:( It came so close to being very good.
Played for about 30 min and removed it from my system. Had to use hints or multi-clicks to do just about anything, as there wasn't much rime or reason to the whole thing. A dud to be honest.
This was a great game with a good story line and fun/humorous script. The only knocks against the game is that it is a tad too short and some of the puzzles were not very challenging. But one of the best games I have played recently!
