I really liked this game. Played in casual mode and it was very easy and relaxing.
My "how did they do that?" is based upon the HOS scene near the end of the game - the newspaper was actually our local newspaper! What a neat twist! And I wonder if \anyone else had their local newspaper.
I recommend this game!

The game was fun but way too short!
The hints were real hints and "boilerplate" who assists with helping with strength is a fun addition. Graphics were nice, story line a bit weak.
HOS were fairly easy. It is a relaxing game but the ending left me feeling cheated and wanting more game play.
I would recommend this game as a "catch of the week" special as I did not find it worth full price.
I recommend this game!

Great game! Funny story with a twist I did not expect at the end. Looking forward to sequels!
Three playing levels and hints which actually help rather than the "nothing to do here" so-called hints. I played in casual mode and it was fun and relaxing. Every time I thought the game was close to ending another storyline popped up. Well worth the money - enjoy.
I recommend this game!

Played in casual mode.
This was a really fun game. I really enjoyed the map because it lessened using hints and made for easier play if one gets lost. Well worth the money in terms of length of play - filled an afternoon. Liked the combination of puzzel and HO.
There is also a bonus game play - the last chapter segment which was a prequel and explained the story from the beginning.
I recommend this game!

Standard Edition Review
The game is ok. I gave it three stars because it was a bit inconsistent in terms of game play. Sometimes the clues were very easy and other times either difficult or did not make a whole lot of sense. Also, there were a bunch of puzzles and scenes where items were replaced rather than hidden.
The one thing I really like in games is when one is stuck the "hint" actually gives a hint as to what to do next. This game does NOT have that feature. This is one of those games where it will say there is nothing to do in the location and I do not find that much of a hint.
A big plus is the game does give a lot of play time, so it is worth the money for the Standard Edition.
I recommend this game!

fun game. decent story line. good graphics.
hints really help guide you instead of telling you there is nothing to do in the location.
the game just kept going which made it a real value for the money.
I recommend this game!
