I've enjoyed the other Hidden Expedition games and this one doesn't disappoint. Graphics are excellent. I really like games that feel like you are really IN the adventure, not just hunting for silly objects hidden in the piece of cheese. The HOGs are different, but not too difficult. The games are fairly easy and the hints refill fast. I'll be purchasing this one.
I recommend this game!

Just played the preview and purchased the game. It's not too hard, but still provides some work for the brain. Some HOGs are unique. The storyline is good and I had a chuckle at some of the characters. The graphics are good. It has an interactive map, which is nice and the hint button is quick to refresh. All in all, I think you'll enjoy it.
I recommend this game!

I just played a new collector's edition game and then started Tiger Eye: The Sacrifice. In truth, I'm enjoying this one more than the fancy-schmancy one. Realistic, easy to figure out (I'm on casual), the graphics are nice and it's fun. Could use more of these type of games.

Had to redeem my game coupon, so I picked this game. I'm glad I did. Started 3 hours ago and I have to stop because my eyes are shriveling. Love the graphics, the moody tone of the game, and the surprises. Innovative. Some new games, but not too hard or annoying. Hope they make more of this type of game.

This is a great game. At first I was lost because it is so different from all the others, but I soon developed a love/hate relationship to it. The only thing I really hated was the cut scene between areas - very annoying. It was innovative and it really keeps you thinking about what you need to do. I usually don't play games without a walkthrough, but there are plenty of hints and the diary is extremely helpful. And I love Fluffy in the basement. I hope the developers make another one!
I recommend this game!

Tried it and bought it. I like this game better than a few of the other glitzy games. Gritty, with good graphics. It plays like you're actually in a real-life situation with none of the silly stuff that other games make you do. And there's a cat. And, well, except for the mouse thing......
I recommend this game!

What a cool game! Great graphics, great story line. Puzzles weren't too hard. Not too much running around and searching for things like in some games.

I purchased this because it was a Mystery Case Files and I really liked the others. I was not disappointed. Very interesting games and HOGs. Visually appealing. One type of the games was too hard for my brain, but the others weren't too bad. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

I've played the other Jewel Quests and they drove me crazy. Fun, but crazy. This has a relaxed mode and I love it. The dialogue is really funny. Graphics are very good. Storyline is good. I've been playing for two days and I'm only on level 2, so you get your monies worth.

I really enjoyed this game. It was different from the start. Great story, great graphics. Could have used an interactive map, grrr. All in all, it was fun - not too difficult, not too much running around, kind of creepy. What more could you want? (except for the map).
I recommend this game!
