Fun and Unique Hidden Object Game
This game has a unique storyline. You will find out in the first few minutes, but I'm not going to spoil it. The hidden objects scenes are fantastice. The mini puzzles are challenging, going from hard to really really hard.
The graphics are beautiful. The soundtrack is so-so but that does not detract from the game play.

Nice game but you better like math!
This game has great graphics, and really keeps you running around from room to room, but I found the puzzles to be way too hard. Alot of them are math related and I found required way too much thinking to make the game "fun." If I wanted to go to math class, I would have signed up for that! It is a really good game otherwise so I'm really torn as to what I should rate it. I skipped way too many of the puzzles to think it's GREAT.

BUY IT NOW!!!
This game is great !!! ( I played on the second level).
The mini game puzzles are very challenging..the story line and graphics are really good and the HOS are not tedious.
I love adventure games but quite often find that there are too many HOS, and often don't understand why they have not been classified as a HO Game instead of adventure, this game seems different because, although there are plenty of HOS the adventure was so good that I didn't mind...so if you like adventure and HO'S you are definitely getting the best of both worlds with this game. Excellent!!!

Good long game with a satisfying ending
This is an excellent offering from Elephant Games; the graphics were clean & the artwork simply wonderful, this was a joy visually. The voiceovers were also good as were the ambient sounds, the music was subtle for the most part although occasionally the drum beats went overboard.
The storyline was fine & the end of the game was very satisfying, the length was satisfactory; in advanced mode it took me about 4 hours to play.
There are 3 modes, casual with 40 second hint recharge & sparkles however it was rather too easy so advanced mode would probably suit most players, no sparkles at all & a 60 second hint. For brave souls there is a hardcore mode with no hints & no skips.
My only quibble would be with the hints, they were too helpful, most of the time I just wanted to be pointed in a general direction but instead was told exactly what to do next.
The hidden object scenes were relatively easy & I only had to search hard a few times, the mini games were fun; sliders, slot shapes into an area, logic puzzles, etc. With some thought I was able to complete them without using the skip button.
You will carry quite a lot of inventory items around as there will be areas waiting to be opened before you can use some of them. There is a lot of back & forth but with an interactive map that isn't a problem, in addition the map shows where there are still active tasks to be completed.
All in all a splendid game & well worth playing.

My New Fave!
This is the best game I have played in a long while! I really liked the excellent graphics, the detail of the storyline, and the depth of play. This game kept me thinking throughout the entire game. The only thing I would change would be for the developers to add a bit more information on how to play the mini-games. Some of them were quite perplexing to figure out.

Best Game in Quite a While!
I see I'm not the only fishie that liked this one! Wow! It was quite long, and plenty challenging for an experienced HO/Adventure fan. I LOVED the mini-games and puzzles! There were lots of them, ranging from fairly simple to mind-blowing hard. Like others, I did have to skip a few. I enjoy the mini-puzzles more than the HO scenes, and this one had a very nice mix. The story was good, the map was so helpful, and I had a hard time stopping for meals, sleep, etc. It took me 3 sessions to finish the game. I love it when I feel like I get my money's worth, and the game is not just long, but exciting! I played the SE, not the CE. I can't imagine it being any better! I'll be paying more attention to "Elephant Games". This one was top notch in my book.

What a great game to play
Everything about this game is fun. You can see by the reviews that you cannot go wrong with this one.

Blah, Blah, Blah
After seeing all the great reviews, I was excited to play this game. But I thought it was just okay.
The storyline is very weakly developed. A whole bunch of back-and-forths that aren't much fun. Inventory items that are mostly obscure as to what their uses will be. Conflicting interests: you are told to put Luisa and the baby in the car and get them away from the area, but once you put them there, there are all kinds of tasks you must do before you can actually get them away. I guess they don't mind waiting? The car changes color and even type, from scene to scene.
Mini-games are more frustrating than fun.
By the end, I just wanted it to be over.

The Best of the Best
This game has shot to the top of my best game list. It was brilliant. I can't fault anything about it. I didn't mind that the HO's weren't interactive as there was so much to do in the game anyway. I didn't mind that you couldn't simply pick up a stick/stone to throw at the bird. The interactive/portal map is always an added bonus for when I really get stuck and I used it once and only because I'd missed something buried in the snow so couldn't figure out what to do next. This game had me hooked from beginning to end with just a little breather about 3/4 of the way through - I needed sleep!. The storyline was great and I didn't feel at a loss at any point. The length and quality of the game were the best I've ever come across. The mini games/puzzles got me really thinking - I had to skip 1 of them but I will play again and figure it out if it kills me - or I'll buy a box of matches to practice with. If anyone did not go on to buy this game after they demo'd it then it can only mean that this genre of game is not to their liking - and/or they were having a bad day- because it is without a doubt the best in its field.
