WOW, just a big WOW. This game is fantastic. I'm not even done with the demo and I'm already hooked. I have encountered many new HO scenes and puzzles. A must try. Not sure I understand the negative reviews. Oh well, off to play.
I recommend this game!

This game is similar to "Faircroft Antiques", but I feel it's a bit better. Just an all around fun game. Lots to do besides finding objects. With that being written, this game doesn't even come close to the brilliant "Dana Knightstone Novel" series that these devs created. That was/is (I play those games over and over again) one of the best HO series to date. PLEASE, Boomzap, create another "Dana Knightstone Novel" game. Until then, have fun playing and prayers to Ukraine.
I recommend this game!

Elephant games are indeed the best. I've just finished playing this game for the 9th time. Love everything about it. Please, oh please, develop another "Detective Quest" just like this one.

I am about 1/2 way through the game (purchased) and I am really enjoying it. Unlike some of the other reviews stated, I'm coming across many new elements and mini games. Also different ways to find objects in the HO scenes (never seen/played before). Lots of variety. I was ever so happy not to have to fan smoke away or pound a nail in with a statue.
Only thing I was not a big fan of was the storyline. I feel that "ghosts/bride ghosts" has been done enough times.

Thanks Friendly Fox... great addition to the series and the best one, in my opinion. Really enjoying everything about this game. This game has a great story line. And, thanks for some new mini-games and elements.
I recommend this game!

I am enjoying this game. It's pretty basic with no bells/whistles (not necessarily bad). It's different - and it's not Domini (yeah).
I am just about done with the demo and have completed 5 chapters. I only have 4 left which means I won't have much to complete if I purchase. Wow... very short. I will be waiting until the non CE game is released. Have fun.

Well, I had to try it as I have not bought the last few Domini games. All there games were just the same stuff over and over with a new title. I really like the story line and flow of this game. Yes, I had to fan smoke away AGAIN, open a drawer with a cork AGAIN and use a mirror to see the lock on the other side of the door AGAIN. I may buy, especially if there is a BOGO. I have been playing a lot of old games lately because it seems that no REALLY good games are coming out.

Maybe it was because I started playing this game directly after Mystical Riddles, but I was disappointed. The similarities are so obvious. Scare the birds to get something, find something to attach 2 pieces of chain together, fan away the smoke, find something/anything to unscrew the screws and what is it about clipping everything with a finger nail clippers. The only thing I liked was the story line. I did come across some new mini games. It was an OK game. So glad that the recent releases of Elephant and GrandMA games were amazing, fun to play and non repetitive.
I don't recommend this game.

I have the 1st Montgomery Fox and this one is just as good. They are the devs that brought us the original Mortimer Beckett games (the best), so I can see the resemblance to the characters and artwork. It is a pretty straight forward hidden object game with a few puzzles thrown in.
I recommend this game!

I am really enjoying this game. I have all the others in the Christmas Stories series. In fact, I just got done playing Enchanted Express (again) and The Christmas Tree Forest (again). This one is just as good. Very entertaining.
I recommend this game!
