I love hidden object games but this one is too kid-like. If you are fairly new to the genre then you will probably like it but if you are experienced you probably will not.
The hints recharge slow, it's graphics are poor. The whole concept seems poorly thought out. I only played the trial. I am not buying this game!
I don't recommend this game.

I wanted to like this game because it seems interesting. I had to go to youtube just to figure out the first puzzle because guess what... they are no real hints in this game.
There are way too many cut scenes that you cannot skip past.
Then I got to the second puzzle and just couldn't figure it out. I didn't bother past that. I am sure there is someone out there that will love this game. I however am not one of those people!
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed this game. I like it when there are awards to win so that you have something extra to strive for. The mini games are not too hard. The navigation is user friendly.
The only issue I have is there are morphing objects, puzzle pieces and items for the little guy you have to find. One of the scenes told me I still had some to find but I couldn't find them. That can get a little frustrating.
But overall I think the graphics are good the story is okay and this one would be worth the buy!

I am a huge fan of all the Royal Envoy games. This one is a welcome addition to the bunch! The graphics are top notch and the play is fun. I also like the fact that they let you opt out of the tutorial. It is nice when a game developer realizes that we are not all novice game players.
If you liked the first two you will love this one. If you haven't played the other ones you will still love this one and will want to go back and buy the other ones!!
I recommend this game!

First of all I love the Nancy Drew games. They just keep getting better and better.
This game is no different. The graphics are top notch, the story line, the dialogue. The puzzles are a great challenge!
There are plenty of laughs and easter eggs to find. Plus awards to win.
I did have to use a walk through, but then I do on all of them because some puzzles are a bit outside of my realm!
Overall I think this game is worth the buy!
I recommend this game!

I love the graphics, they were very colorful and nice to look at.
The sounds are great, no annoying voices. All the voices they used are pleasant.
I loved the game play... it can be challenging but it can be easy in other parts.
Overall I would say this is a great game to get if you love TM games because it will keep you busy!!!
I bought the game before I was done with the demo!
I recommend this game!

The graphics and sounds are good. The game play is easy to follow. I liked that you did not have to watch the cut scenes if you did not want to. The hints are easy to use and the puzzles are easy to figure out. I only had to skip one of them so far.
I think if you want a HOA game that is fairly easy this one is it. I liked it because every once in a while I like a game that isn't too challenging.
I recommend this game!

I have been on the first level for 10 minutes and nothing has happened. I have placed all my towers. I have gathered over a 1000 mana and the guys are still not coming. I say stick with plants vs zombies. This game is a fail!
I don't recommend this game.

I found this game slow and kinda child like. I like something more complex and this game wasn't. If you like something simple then you will like this game. Overall, the hour to play was more than enough for me!
I don't recommend this game.
