Blue Tea did it again! Absolutely gorgeous game filled with great games and lovely HO's especially when having to find parts of items.
Loved their new map. Greatly improved since previous ones and this one will allow you to teleport.
Hidden objects to find, good voice quality, challenging, and nice story line.
I do think this one might be especially hard for a beginner.
I can find no faults with this game!
I highly recommend this game as do I for all of those developed by Blue Tea.
I recommend this game!

I bought this game sight unseen and do not regret doing so. It was fun; however, I was disappointed in the length as it was rather shorter as compared to other games I have played.
Good points: and weak ones.
Varied levels of difficulty to select from including the option of customizing your play.
Collectables: enjoyed looking for them but would have liked more. They were easy find, Had there been a larger number and various types (such as morphing objects) , the games would have been somewhat more challenging and would have increased the fun factor.
HO's were not too difficult and I enjoyed the fact that they were of various types.
I rather liked the story line and voice overs.
The artistic aspect was good. Perhaps, I'm nitpicking but some more colorful and bright scenes would have been nice.
Games were familiar to me; but, still fun.
I have not, yet, played to bonus chapter but am looking forward to doing so.
......and, yes, I would purchase it again. Hope this review helps.
I recommend this game!

I am always thrilled when a new Blue Tea game becomes available. This particular one is OUTSTANDING. Some of the additions include a map that teleports you, a moon to collect in every scene and other things that are specified. There are more achievements to master and I am sure things I have forgotten to mention.
I dropped my speaker, which is now broken: therefore, I cannot comment on the quality of voice overs.
The art work is, as always, superb, and especially beautiful.
There is a good story line, various levels of challenge to choose from and I especially liked having the one to allow you to customize your play.
I highly recommend this game for anyone no matter as to your level of performance. If in doubt, please consider trying the sample play. Have FUN!

Thank you Steve Zhao and all the others who worked on developing this game. I tend to be biased because I am very partial to all Blue Tea games
I enjoyed using the additions to their new map in that it specifically shows where you are and where you need to go. It would be nice if you could be transported to other location.
As always, this game is absolutely beautiful, voice overs are excellent, the story is developed nicely, and there are collectables to fine. There are morphing objects; but I did not do well in this area. Never do as this is one of my weaknesses, not theirs. Music and sound effects were good and appropriate to the story.
The fragmented hidden objects were fun to locate as were the games to play. The latter were not too difficult but interesting. I do enjoy varied tasks to locate hidden objects such as having to move something in order to find what is needed. Perhaps Blue Tea will consider this when developing new tasks. They did have this aspect included in one of their previous games.
I have not, yet, played the bonus chapter but am looking forward to doing so. IMO Blue Tea always does an excellent job in this area.
To conclude, I Highly recommend this game and do so without reservations.
I recommend this game!

What great fun. It has everything! Transporter map, fun and interesting games which don't make you tear you hair out, varied tasks for hidden objects, surprises along the way, morphing objects, hand prints to collect, great graphics, sound quality, story line, and level of challenge. IMO What more could we want? <G>
I guess you can tell I really love this game and highly recommend it!

Since I seem to purchase any game by this developer and have always enjoyed their games, I bought it immediately. I do not regret doing so. However, I haven't, thus far, enjoyed this particular game as much as some of their other ones. It took me a little while to adjust to using all the magic items collected. There were times when I was not sure what I really needed to do; therefore, I found myself using the map more than usual and the hint button. Perhaps others did not have this problem.
On a positive note, the graphics were wonderful and I especially enjoyed the hidden object sections. Voice overs were well done. The story line I found to be okay.
Overall, I am enjoying the game but am giving it 4 stars because I believe there is room for improvement.
I Do recommend this game because, in general, I am enjoying the experience.
Now for my tip regarding downloading games. Oftentimes, for me, the speed of the download will become very slow then seems to take forever to finish the process. When this happens, I click on "pause" then click on "download". Doing this has speeded up the process for me. However, I don't know it this is unique to my computer. Therefore, if you are experiencing slow downloads, you might want to try this.

At first, I almost didn't even consider playing the trial because, so often, New Orleans is depicted in such a distorted manner with gross errors. Finally, I thought I would give it a try and what a wonderful surprise.
Secondly, it was refreshing to see characters of African American decent and/or Créole. I'm white and enjoy playing games with other races or nationalities depicted. Also, accents were more in keeping with ours around New Orleans.
Thirdly, what a pleasure to hear jazz music. The jazz club in the game reminded me so much of Preservation Hall in the French Quarter.
I'm probably somewhat biased in choosing my ratings. All sixes. The games and HO's were well balanced and the former were not too difficult. The variations of the HO's were varied and I found some were unique.
The game ran smoothly, voice overs were good, interesting, and helped the story line flow. Finding the music notes in scenes, and other specified things, was great fun.
The map that allowed you to transport to other areas, was well done and much appreciated by me. I had to use the hint button, on occasion, but not often and it worked well. I considered the graphics to be excellent and was pleased to see you could pick your level of difficulty and the skip button was available for games.
Hopefully, I've covered the major points and this will be helpful for others.
This, for me, is a keeper and will be played many times in the future.
I recommend this game!

This game seems to have all the whistles!. I especially enjoyed the way the story line was presented and the progression. Also, it was a very good and interesting one.
There were fun collectables, wonderful graphics, a nice map to teleport you, interesting characters, varied types of HO's and games that did not make me want to "pull my hair out" .
Hint button worked well as did everything else.
Frankly, I don't think I could have asked for anything more.

Others have already reviewed this game in detail: therefore, I will not repeat. I absolutely agree with posters who judged this game as deserving six stars.
The HO's for me were somewhat difficult. Not because of a problem with the scenes being clutter, but due to the fact locating particular items required "thinking". I'm not used to having to do that very often for HO's. <G>
This game, in my opinion was wonderful and I highly recommend it.

I started the sample and said, "I don't want this!" However, I needed something new to play so used a bonus point. Was I ever surprised and pleasantly so.
The story line was good and I liked information being presented through out the game, to carry the story line. In addition there were so many different things to do. HOs were interactive making it more interesting to play. Games were not difficult ones; but enjoyable. Also, in was nice having a map to transport to locations. The hint button worked well.
Graphics were not spectacular but I did adjust to them rather quickly. I missed not having collectables to find. Not to spoil, you did have one set of objects to locate and there were not many. It would have been nice to have morphing objects, etc.
Please note, I chose the casual level and am, so far, pleased with the bonus chapter.
Because I enjoyed this game so very much, I am giving it five stars. Hope others will opt to play the sample game.
