I tried this game because I love the decorating/ finding hidden objects games and was thrilled to find one more.
This is a long game with no scenes repeated. Each is a historical work of art. I don't care about art but it is more fun to find interesting objects in beautiful settings. You earn money with each object found that you get to spend decorating rooms.
A good mystery story too.
Pure hidden object game with decorating and story breaks.
Warning: some of the objects are not described by their common American English name but you also get an outline of the object so it didn't bother me.

This is one of my favorite games of all. I love the characters and the family interactions. Unlike Escape the Museum, this follow-up from Dad's point of view has a great hint system with clear directions if you get stuck in the puzzles. I love helping Dad do good deeds, and the real-life, non-occult focus. One thing is lost from Escape the Museum--the gorgeous artifacts have been replaced by every-day items.
I recommend this game!

This is the first game I didn't finish that I would recommend. First, the things I didn't like: There was no functional hint system except for the HOS. The last three levels of the puzzles (logical mechanical brain teasers) were too difficult and irritating to me with lights going off and needing to be turned on that I didn't finish and waited for the family to be rejoined at the end of Escape the Museum 2. The hidden objects were small and sometimes unrecognizable. But the cursor pulsates on the right objects so you can check this before you click.
Now for the things I loved: I really liked the plot of the family working together to be reunited and the museum director/boss wanting the artifacts to be saved. I liked the comic book art in between scenes and loved the characters. They seemed fully human to me. Also I loved the museum itself and the beautiful artifacts from all times and places. As a person who loves history and science and has no interest in fantasy or the occult, this game was a great find for me. There were so many scenes and they took long enough (each level also had an additional HOS attached) that I feel it's well worth the full price even without finishing the game.

I loved everything about the game. It was historically informative, used cool undersea equipment and had great visuals. The instructions and flow of the game were clear. Best of all was the realistic, gripping story. I literally couldn't stop playing toward the end! One of my all time favorites.
I recommend this game!

This game is not easy to play. It requires total attention and skill. But very addictive and does build those skills. The marbles are moving fast so even though the marble you shoot goes where you send it you may be surprised. Also different bonus marbles come into play and add more excitement. Attractive visuals.

I loved learning about Amelia in this format. The graphics weren't as good as some games and I hated the flight school but otherwise I found it an excellent experience.
I didn't mind that it was rather short, because it told the story well--I prefer that to going on and on just to be longer.

This is one of my favorite games. It's pretty much a straight HOG with a few mini-games. The settings are gorgeous and the objects interesting even though not all from the historical period. I loved using the tools to find artifacts. I was caught up in the real mystery of finding the tomb--much better than an imaginary one such as where the witch hid the runes.
I liked this better than other National Geographic games I have tried/played.

I never would have bought a racist game but I don't read the forums until I get in trouble. There is no hint or help except during the hidden object parts so I had to go back and forth to a walkthrough from youtube. I bought the game for the fantastic location--a cross between Central or South America, the midwest US, Europe and Arizona. But I wish I hadn't bought it and didn't finish the game.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a great game and different from any other I have played. The bright colors and the corny jokes and puns from the leprechaun as well as the arcade sounds make for lots of fun. You can go on and on playing as easy or difficult as you like. I'll keep returning to this game.
Fun for kids too.

This is a great game. I couldn't stop playing at the end. It was so funny, a great story and great characters. I don't usually do well with trying to put things together but the action was confined to a few locations at a time and the hints were helpful and rechargeable.
I recommend this game!
