FUN GAME
This game I have to say suprised me. After reading the other reviews I was a little hesitant to buy this one. I was glad I did. The hidden object scenes are pretty eeire but really fun to play. Now for the puzzles. I really enjoyed them. They are different from the mini games in some of the other games I have played. You have to go through a series of things to unlock the door in the mini games. Not too much of a challenge but challenging enough to keep me hooked. I plan to buy the others in the series!

Challenging First Offering of Ravenhearst Series
Excellent Mystery Case Files early HO/Puzzle mystery game with infinite replayability. You are the detective who has been summoned to Ravenhearst Manor to solve a decades long mystery. You search the many rooms of the manor for clues, so you can find the pages from Emma's diary and piece together the intriguing storyline. The game has a spooky feel to it, with eerie music and sounds, sometimes you can hear Emma's voice too. To progress you need to find a myriad of hidden objects from the many rooms, playing against a timer which makes the HO scenes harder and much more interesting. At the end of each search of several rooms, you still have to solve a door open puzzle which can be quite challenging, a refreshing change from some of today's very easy games. Then you still have to piece together a delightful picture jigsaw puzzle which advances the storyline, all this still against the timer. It is a long game, it took me over 6 hours to complete, great for puzzle enthusiasts, offering a welcome challenge. I cannot wait to do the next one in the series. They don't make them like this anymore.

Ravenhearst
Good storyline however some hidden object games were repeating same sceans to much. However there's heaps of puzzles too do.
I recommend this game..due to storyline.

Average Fun
Ravenhearst is all in all a hidden object game of which I am not that much into. The only reason I played the game was for the storyline which was well good, and I wanted to play the three Ravenhearst games in order. I recommend the game to any HO fans, it would really be a great game!
One must remember however, that Ravenhearst was created in a time where HO adventure and puzzle games weren't that popular. This came back from 2008 or 2009, I might be mistaken.
However, the HO scenes were fun and challenging. The door puzzles were what drove me a bit mad, as sometimes they don't really make sense, but then it might be my own ignorance.
All in all I find it OK. MCF has surely improved after releasing this game!

CHALLENGING PUZZLES BUT EASY HOS
Format similar to Huntsville. Search multiple HOS locations for clues to discover the mystery behind the Ravenhearst curse. Release Emma?s spirit to remove the curse from the manor forever. Some HOS locations are locked with elaborate locks ? you must determine the proper sequence of actions to unlock them. I suggest that you be miserly with your hints in the regular HOS since you may well need a hint or two with these very challenging locks. After each search, put together a picture puzzle and get a portion of the story behind the curse. Nice graphics and music. Took me about 7 hours at a relaxed pace. You can also do timed. The relaxed pace is still timed, but you get so much time to search the locations with plenty of time left over, that I suggest the timed version.

Quite fun to play!
Purely a hidden object game, with no adventure, but not bad. Buy it for the door lock puzzles and the story of the beginning of Charles and Emma's relationship.

The sound was great and creepy, the mini games are challenging and a wonderful storyline.
Even better than the last two.

Straight Hidden Object - You already know the story
The "story" gets revealed through diary pages that you find, I think were 18 or 20 of them, but after reading the 2nd entry, you know the story. Seriously. You've read this and seen it a hundred times already. There are no twists. There are no surprises. Everything happens exactly the way you expect it to.
Sound: There's an annoying soundtrack that keeps playing a 'ghost' voice saying different things. Any 'creepiness' this may have had is long gone after about the 50th time you hear them, which isn't very far into the game.
The HO scenes: This is the game. All of it, really (except for the 'puzzles' I'll get to in a bit). You only get five hints to use across all the scenes in a chapter, so you have to use them carefully, and you need to find all but three items - there are eight to find in each scene. So if a chapter has seven rooms, that would be 56 objects and you'd need to find 53 of them with only five hints.
The scenes are all junkpiles, with about 80% of the junk being recycled from room to room - so you'll see the same banana, and honey dipper, and skull, etc... And you'll keep going back to the same scenes over and over and over again.
The 'trick' to finding the objects is to let your eyes go in and out of focus and then keep focusing deeper and narrower into the scene until you're at the right 'level' to see the items. From a purely technical standpoint that's pretty cool. From a practical standpoint, if you only think that sounds like a recipe for eyestrain you have no idea... I can't remember how many times I had to stop playing because my eyes hurt. This has never happened to me in any other HO/HOPA game.
The 'puzzles' are just Rube Goldbergesque machines. Keep clicking on everything on the screen until stuff happens. There are no instructions. Some of them make no sense even after you finish them.
I got the game because I wanted the 'backstory' to the Ravenhearst games (The other two having better reviews) and because I thought it would be nice to play the whole trilogy - I'm a sucker for things like that. Don't bother - as I said at the top, you already know the story. All of it.
I suppose if it was the last day of the month and you needed one more game to fill your punchcard and this was the Daily Deal, it might be worth it - but I'd take a good hard look at the Weekly Deal first: That Fish Farming Salon Road game might be a lot less frustrating.

Another Classic from MYSTERY CASE FILES
Ravenhearst-just like all of the MCF is a classic among HOG. When you are a leader the other will follow. I recommend this and all the MCF games

STILL ONE OF THE BEST of THE BEST
Can not believe it is not 5 STARS. Everytime I need break from some of these, I go back to this one. And it still makes me think. Everyone should have this for a rainy day. It will take you a day or so to get through it. Fun city.
