Graphics are excellent, design of scenery and items are crafted with attention to detail, characterizations are well done and voice overs appropriate to character.
Story is rather boring and confusing. If Adaline, the actress, lived all those years without dying, (where have I seen that name before?) why did she die this time. I guess that is what needs to be discovered. And why are all the vehicles old?
The new hidden object games need some reworking. One has a glaring crystal ball in left corner that is distracting and trying to find + and + equals ? was rather annoying because items were hard to see. However, items are well designed and interesting.
I skipped the mini games.
After investigating the detective is told to go visit the understudy who is now in the hospital with some kind of allergy reaction So....what do we see at the hospital. A crazy looking and threatening doctor. Go figure...I guess I would have to purchase this one to find out more. Not going there!
Lots of well-done aspects in this production, but the story failed to interest me to want more. Take the trial run and see for yourself.
I recommend this game!

Graphics are good but same old style. Characters are wooden. Voice overs are good. Story is boring and been done before. Spare me the circus theme. Games are run of the mill nothing new or innovative. Time to go back to the drawing board and use some of those gray cells to come up with interesting concepts, snappy dialogue and an interesting forward story. So much back and forth even with transports it got old fast!
Nothing much happens until the trial end and that wasn't all that great. I found the "God of Truth" rather laughable. I don't know who writes these scripts, but this one is just boring. Lots of use of books and pictures to explain back story which I consider lazy development.
Hidden Object games are ordinary with lots of movement of pieces to find what is needed. Mini games...I just skipped.
I know we there are talented people out there and some presentations have been great, but lately the passion seems lost and just average seems as good as it gets.
I'm still waiting for a game that will intrigue me from the get go, move forward with detailed content not story books and a development of exciting characters with great voice overs and a script that is intelligent and well written.
I don't recommend this game.

Graphics are drab and nothing new. The story is boring and theme so over used it should be retired. One doctor said, "can't let her remember" and he sounded like a dufus. So only other voice overs are the victim and later Brian. Both are good.
Hidden Object Games: Hard to see objects which I found annoying. Also, nothing new or innovative or even interesting in the scenes. Just tired old Hidden Object Games.
Some puzzles are multiple parts. Once pass through was enough! Map to get from A to B was 4 parts!
Overall, The only two hospital characters were oblivious to escape. A doctor was sleeping at front desk and the receptionist didn't pay attention to a potential escape. In a creepy hospital wouldn't you be on alert?
I found very little challenge, mostly back and forth to complete simple tasks and again a predictable theme.
So you finally escape after a number of mediocre tasks. A car pulls up....get in...I'll save you. Didn't you mother tell you to not talk to strangers let alone get in a car with them.
Actually, I was bored from the start and struggled to finish the trial. But, I am only one opinion. Take the trial run and see what you think.
I don't recommend this game.
When volcanic eruptions uncover hidden caves in Samoa, you can’t wait to decipher the ancient texts inside! But this educational expedition quickly takes a dangerous turn when someone steals your research! Legend says the Maori hid a powerful artifact, and there’s no telling what damage it could do in the wrong hands! Can you find the artifact and save the world in time?

Graphics are bright with some high points but mostly average. Tasks are back and forth and nothing much new or innovative. Just a tired theme, with old content, boring tasks and dull hidden object games. I skipped all the mini games because they didn't offer anything new or interesting.
Rather poor story that has been done before way too many times. Jungle theme with artifact that is stolen by the bad guy, oops bad girl is just too familiar!
I couldn't get excited about anything presented in this game. Maybe you might have a different opinion, so take a trial run to see what you think.
I don't recommend this game.

Graphics are dark and unpleasant. Characters are annoying, even the person at the home office appeared less than concerned, maybe it was automated, if so it should be consistent in emotion.
The Mini Games are shuffle, slide or put a puzzle together with pieces that are hard to move out of the picture frame. It was obvious this game will be filled with them! The one Hidden Object Game was full of bright crystals so it was hard to see items to collect. Also, the cursor had to be in an exact spot to return.
Apparently the detective triggered a timeline shuffle to the past, so now they can use old content to build this story with old disgusting characters.
I lasted about 15 minutes and left. I just found the content unpleasant, with characters I didn't really want to see again and tasks that left me wishing for more creativity. But that is my opinion. Take the test run and see what you think.
I don't recommend this game.

Excellent graphics, very good voice overs that sound individual and not juvenile. YAY! There are also a variety of very well-designed characters that are interesting and look great!. Enjoyed the decor and the scenery throughout the trial. Cute story that moves forward, but OH MY a BAD elf is just causing a poor little doll who got left behind to struggle every step of the way to get to the little girl who is waiting for her. Hope he gets his just desserts! Enjoyed the Hidden Object Games, very well crafted and with holiday theme items. Mini Games were a bit annoying and a little glitchy, seems to me they still need a bit of work, but I'm not a fan, so just call me "confused." Those who enjoy them will be pleased because they are somewhat different. Overall a delightful holiday presentation. Would like a transport back and forth but the map works. I recommend this one to all levels for a fun activity during the holiday season. Happy Holidays to All.
I recommend this game!

I couldn't believe this game was even released here. I don't want to spend my time reading a GAME! I didn't even finish the trial. Just shaking my head!
I don't recommend this game.

I usually buy holiday games based on attention to detail and a decent story line. Graphics are great along with scenery and interior design. Lots to see and good holiday objects. However, the story was rather slow and boring and sadly predictable. Too much back and forth game play, but does transport between scenes. Characterization was good as well as the voice overs. Overall, the game didn't keep my interest to move forward. Cute game for a family to play together, but just not my cup of cocoa.
I recommend this game!

Graphics are old, characters wooden and voice overs juvenile! Voices are mostly annoying. Script dialogue is just plain stupid. Story is boring and lacks anything to entice me to play further. Hidden Object games are so old they are moldy. Mini Game...connect circuits another oldie. This presentation was a slap in the face to loyal players. No excuse for this lack of innovation and/or originality.
Zippered bag--got to find something sharp. UGH! Later...can you find a thin item to unlock something! Really! Enough!
Constant back and forth was just way too much and then had to suffer an infernal noise with each click on a hint or click on an item, so annoying and unnecessary.
Nothing new or interesting. I didn't even finish the trial. Try it yourself to see what you think.
I don't recommend this game.

Beautifully crafted characters with attention to detail in both interior design and scenery. Animals are superbly crafted. All top quality.
BUT...spare me the fanged theme! Also, too many back and forth trips to combine a multitude of items to complete tasks.
Decent Hidden Object Games and Mini Games. Some were actually interesting and different. But, I really dislike multiple games that do not allow me to skip! Turn the wheel, find pictures that depict love..do it again and again.
With all the back and forth tasks, I actually got bored with them. When I had to collect items to make a potion...how original...I just about quit. Only thing that kept me going through the rest of the trial was the well thought out designs.
Story was predictable and boring and so overdone it didn't entice me to want to explore the game beyond the trial. It's so disappointing that the same old, tired themes continue to appear in these games. I'm discouraged that originality is lacking. What happened to creativity and new themes? How about thinking outside the old tired and boring boxes to find new concepts!
I wish I could have been interested. I've been waiting a long time for a game that makes me say...YES...I want to buy that one! Sadly, I won't be purchasing this one.
I don't recommend this game.
