........if you do, you will just end up being disappointed. You will not get an MCF look or feel even though Ravenhearst, Madame Fate and Dire Grove is thrown in. Has more of a Whispered Secrets look, feel and sound. This is a different developer so they obviously want to go in a different direction.
Things I liked:
Started off as a good murder mystery
Different types of hidden object scenes, not the standard lists
I enjoyed being able to solve some of the puzzle parts on my own, old style MCF was very challenging.
Loved finding the tarrot cards, it became more difficult as the game went on & I really enjoyed that, missed a few but I could go back after the bonus game.
Colour and artwork was great and it gave the game an older look and feel.
Enjoyed the game play in the town

Things I didnt like:
Didn't like the gadget, doesn't feel very MCF
The storyline went from a good murder mystery to wishy washy spirits etc. Love the paranormal but the way it's done here is boring,
I must admit there was a hint of Madame Fate feel but disappeared very quickly
Main game ended abruptly
I didn't get into the bonus game, just wanted it to end
Didn't enjoy the game play when it moved into the forest

I actually enjoyed the first half of the game, just wish it could have continued in that manner.
It looks like the only way we're ever going going to get good MCF games again like Huntsville, Madame Fate, Ravenhearst/Escape From Ravenhearst, 13th Skull and Dire Grove (please release a windows 10 version) is if we replay them. That is very sad but great games are great games for a reason.
I recommend this game!
Can you uncover the paranormal activity haunting the mall?

I know its a paranormal story line and that's cool but I was hoping that it would just be like haunted mannequins with some sort of crime that happened way back in the day and the mall got built over the crime scene, something to that effect. But it involved a mystical mask and that's where the story line went downhill for me.
Things I liked:
Story set in the mall, but......
Undercover security guard
Collectibles, but........
Creepy mannequins
Secret HO rooms
Bonus game

Things I didn't like:
A lot of time was spent at other locations when there could have been more rooms and shops used at the mall, malls are huge
As much as I love collectibles, these were pretty easy to find
Once Rick left the mall in the bonus game it became less interesting because he was on his own and no interaction with anyone.

I still think Fellow Traveler is a better game
I don't recommend this game.
Board the SS Wonderland Princess and get ready to visit the most festive places on earth!

Puzzles too easy
Even with bonus scenes the game felt way too short as I can't get enough of it

Keep Christmas Wonderland coming but please make it way way longer. I realized that I missed out on CW 4 so I've bought and played that as well, so addictive.
Please don't expect a challenge or anything mind blowing but just play this game for the fun of it and to get you into the holiday mood.
I recommend this game!
Samba your way to the tropical paradise of Rio de Janiero! Search for thousands of cleverly hidden items and play fun mini-games along the way.

I just played the demos of Barcelona, London Classic, Istanbul, Rio, New York & Shanghai and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have to buy these asap. I hate hidden objects that are too easy to find and these definitely were not, actually had to use the hint. I don't play these games for the puzzles but I wish they weren't that easy and wish there was more of a variety.
The cities in the series I didn't enjoy though are Rome, Paris and Vancouver, they're not as exciting
