I've played all the PuppetShow games and this is one of the best. The storyline really grabbed me. Yes, as others have mentioned, there is a little "lag" in this game at times. When you click to grab something it takes a second to actually collect it. I've just decided to ignore that and play. A must try.
I recommend this game!

This was a mini game featured in the game "Legacy: Witch Island 2" (more scaled down), and I loved playing it. So glad they made it into its own game. Had to force myself to stop playing so I wouldn't be late for work. A must try.

I'm really enjoying this game. Was surprised to see so many negative reviews. I have been playing for well over 2 hours and I'm still playing the bonus chapter (YES, there is a bonus chapter in the extras). I'm seeing some new things within this game. I guess it just depends on what your cup of tea is - but definitely give it a try.
I recommend this game!

Loved the first "Family Mysteries". This one is just as good. I'm not much of a technology nut, but I still really enjoyed this game. Many new features (especially in the hidden object scenes) that I have never encountered before. Brave Giant is one of my favorite devs.

I love this game. I really like travelling between 2000 and 1985. I did feel (as another said) this game brought a bit of "The Lake House" movie story line - characters connecting via a diary.
The more I played, the better it got.

With so many time mngt. games being released, I was so very excited to see this game today. I usually keep my reviews short and to the point (I do appreciate the other reviewers who go into detail). This game is GREAT. Yes, there are quite a few HO scenes - but it is a HO game. There are some puzzles. Very crisp and sharp graphics. Love the story and characters. It kept me wanting more, especially at the end of the demo. A must try.
What's more important - the fate of the world or the destiny of your family? Find out in this amazing hidden object adventure game!

Tried this game (I have played some of the other Lost Lands) and nothing really grabbed me. I thought it was just OK. Was really hoping there would be a new HO game released today (Sat), but it was, yet AGAIN, another TM game. I used to buy a HO game every Sat as soon as they were released, but cannot remember the last time that happened. Off to play some old games and wait patiently till next week. I'm sure some people will like this game - it just wasn't for me.
I don't recommend this game.
Who is the Crimson Thief? Can Mortimer piece together the clues to finding all the stolen items? There is much more to this new mystery than meets the eye.

Mortimer B. is my all time favorite series. Own/played them all - I was a bit disappointed with Book of Gold as they changed the format - nothing was wrong with Mortimer in the first 3 games... He needed no change. Please bring the "old" Mortimer back. Hoping another game is released soon. A must play game.
I recommend this game!

This is from the developers that brought us the Mortimer Beckett series - my personal game series of all time. So if you enjoy Mortimer, then you will probably enjoy this one. This is the 3rd time I've played this game and it is just as amazing and awesome as the first time. Would love to see more games like these. Worth a try!
I recommend this game!

I played and own all the Bonfire Stories games... and, I really like playing them (played them all several times), but this one fell very short. Not even close to being as good as the other games. I'm only playing this one because I got it with the BOGO coupon. Try for yourself.
I don't recommend this game.
