If you like HO games that have more HO than anything else, then this game is for you! Or as Santa Claus like to say while playing this game: HO HO HO!
Outside the HO scenes, you also find objects that interact with other objects, you drag a key to the door and it opens, you take paint bucket to the door it it's getting painted...

Pros: Graphics are great! Colors are bright and clear. Scenario looks inviting, somewhere I would love to go for the weekend.
Lots of HO scenes. I read that people are having difficulty finding them sneaky objects, well, it's Hidden, duh! Hence the Hidden objects name...
If you click on the Cheshire cat smile randomly placed in the scene, it will give you interesting facts about Alice in wonderland story and the author.
Hint button is helpful and fast to load.
Music is cheerful and cute.
Story is OK, although for me it did not matter all that much for I love this game because its abundance of HO scenes.

Cons: Hint button is to bright and flashing, it's annoying.
So far, no achievements whatsoever.
Puzzles are way to easy.

Yet another great game from the series of "vacation adventures". This is HO game with no plot attached to it, just HOS scenes one after another with your easy to do puzzles in between. The graphics are great: Very clear and the colors are bright enough, the objects look as real as you want them to be. Cool looking graphics, just like in every game that is made by these devs. They use the same music from previous games and it's OK because it is a music that at least I could live with, relaxing and not dramatic or annoying like some games nowadays do have in them. This whole game is all about taking it easy. You collect trash for points, you collect HOS and you collect extra objects that translate to money which you can use to buy souvenirs. Nice little gem of HOS game, I love them games, sometimes that's what I need no storyline to follow, no mystery to solve just find them hidden objects and that's all, and this game delivers it with ease.
This is your chill pill, something to make the time go by without committing to too much thinking, all while looking for items on your screen. True definition of HOS game. I recommend!

I love HO games, I have lots of them and I like to collect them like crazy. I read the reviews and decided to give this game a try after all I couldn't miss on yet another HO game. Here is what I think: The team that made the game put effort towards creating this game, however they could make a way better game if only they made a better game...The quality of the graphics are OK, however in order to find the hidden items you either need to have an amazing eyesight with the ability to zoom in, or a really big monitor to spot them sneaky items. The hint system is cute, because it is a dog! Plain and simple. Give him a biscuit and the dog will get to work. You collect stars if you can find them, everything is so tiny. I didn't care for the plot, it is all written dialogue and nothing that tickled my sense of curiosity. The music is repetitive but not annoying. It is Ho scenes one after another. The puzzles weren't all that difficult. I gave up on this game once I realized that I do not want to go look for my magnifying glass in order to play this game, too much of a hassle. Of course, you guys can try it and see if it is something you can deal with, maybe you have a monitor in the size of a living room wall and it's not going to be all that bad...
For years, Barton Mansion sat abandoned, a haunting reminder of an obsession gone wrong. But something sinister still lurked there...and it's stirring.

I have other two games of this series and so on a whim I decided to buy this game and do not regret it.
This is a HOPA game with a storyline of a cursed house and you the hero need to figure the curse out nothing new about ghosts and curses in this story by the way, yet interesting enough to play it and all while finding objects and using them in the right areas, solving easy puzzles and going through very interactive HO scenes. The HO is list interactive and some using items in order to find others.
There are levels of difficulty to choose from. You have a cute husky dog to help you, a hint button, a notebook that records the progress of the story and an interactive map. The graphics are of a good quality, the music is OK and fits the story.
I do not know what the length of the game is but from where I am right now in the game it seems like there's still more to go and do on the map so it could be a fairly long game, but I am not sure how long.
I do recommend this game, though some will find it too easy and not challenging, I enjoy playing it for the relaxing value of it.

This is a HO adventure game with lots of puzzles. It has a good storyline, nothing new but still a story that you want to follow to see where it takes you.
The graphics are crisp and appealing to the eye, the gameplay is smooth. I found the music to be pleasant.
There are achievements to gain and the hint system is easy to follow.
You have four modes of difficulty to choose from at the beginning, and there are different kinds of HO to play which I like.
This game is well made and I myself liked it a lot. Give it a try, play the demo, see if you like it.

Started to play the demo. From what I played so far, this is a very simple straightforward HO game. No storyline to speak of, just a family going on vacation and you pretty much don't care for that, no voice overs or anything of that sort. No captivating puzzles, scene after scene is HO. Graphics are ok, seem old fashioned nothing as great as they do nowadays. Music is repetitive and boring to the ears. Did not see achievements to collect as for yet, maybe because they are none.
Try it see if you like it, I play this game on relax mode and as a HO gamer I don't mind the non existent plot in here, so I think I will put a free punch on this one, just to look for those hidden objects to spend some time in front of the computer with no expectations attached.

No challenges whatsoever. Older graphics but still better then other newer games of today. HO scenes were easy, items are well defined, no penalty clicking and hint is useful plus it charges fast, Dialog is not sophisticated but enough to help follow the plot. Puzzles are easy, music is repetitive and starts to be annoying after a short while. Map will take you places were there are missions and missions are well explained so you'll know what to do next. The plot is nothing new, detective stuff. I did not notice any extras, no collectibles and such. It is an OK game. Just OK, nothing fancy, but sometimes, it's enough to pass the time relaxing with a no brainer game. I do not know the length of this game as I played only the demo.
I recommend this game!

This is a HO game and as such lives up to its genre. The items are way too small and hidden and it is very challenging to locate them, more challenging then I am willing to put up with, The magnifying glass magnifies indeed but makes whatever you see through it a bit blurry. The dialog is written as well, and the font is annoying.
Music is classical and I find it to be OK, I did not stick around long enough to see what else happening in this game, I got impatient and uninstalled it.
For the ones that have humongous screen, sure, maybe you can do it, looking for those sneaky objects, I however, having a 14" laptop couldn't.

This is the second game of this hopefully a long series of vacation adventures games...The graphics are well made, very clear, well lit. The list and the items are well drawn. The extra finds make the game more interesting, finding recycle items to dispose of, finding extra animals. It is a bit improved from the first game, though it kept its music and concept of gameplay. I love this game, just like I the first one, it is a relaxing atmospheric game, makes me wanna go there to that park.The minigames are easy, the hint is very helpful, there are achievements to gain, and if you're a HO fan and want to have a straight forward no bull HO scenes one after another, no plot to speak of, though it is a bit educating about nature, no objects to place back on scenes, this one is definitely for you. This game fits all, all ages all levels of gamers. I enjoy this game, I recommend you to give it a try!
I recommend this game!

Can you say HO HO HO? and it stands for Hidden Objects Galore! and well, it is a Christmas theme game after all!
This game is well made. The graphics are excellent. Objects look real, not a problem for me to find them and I have a small monitor on this laptop of mine. The music is lite fun relaxing kinda combo Xmas tunes. I enjoyed it. It is definitely not an adventure game, so if you're looking for some heavy duty game like return to ravenhearst and such, this is not the kind of game you will find here. The puzzles are way too easy, probably aimed at very young kids level. This is pure HO game and as such guarantees hours of fun hunting for those sneaky objects. The devs put an effort to make sure every detail is made great. For instance, the extra gift list, which shows only the shadow of the object, once you find it, it will show you how it looked as a shadow. there are different sounds for regular items and collectible items. The locations are well drawn, and there's a bit of animation of items in the scene. Little details that add to the beauty of this game. I do not compare this game to other games in this genre, by itself it is a great relaxing game, I purchased it and enjoy playing it.
